The 'Paid Extortionate Prices But Am Going To The O2 Shows' Thread

More chance of them playing the These Days record in its entirety in my back garden for me.

PS. (I'd probably buy a VIP Package for that though.)

lol has anyone bought tickets in the top tier side on to the stage?

You can't complain about the prices and then buy the tickets. If they're too expensive, don't buy. All you're succeeding in doing is affirming the ridiculous pricing policy which has go gradually worse since the Bounce Tour.

me and my bro love bon jovi and was really up for paying £200 to be in the pit but for that price i would want him to sit on my lap for the whole show, but i got tickets anyway block 113 and they were £75 each so im not complaining much at least he's here and i will get to see him

nearly pooped myself in surprise when I got offered 12 row tickets this morning for over £200 with booking fees!!!!!

turned them down.

been going to rock concerts for over 20 years now and never refused a ticket and I have a sort of 'if you're going get as close as you can' ethos but I opted for £100 tickets in Block 112 instead.

an utter disgrace - never thought I'd see the day when bj tickets would be more expensive than Michael Jackson.

sad sad sad.

not going is not an option, I've loved this band since 1986, but doesn't stop me from being furious with them.

Yeah I have, I preferred that to the option of seats right at the back on the floor, or seats in the far corner. What date are you going? I think I am Block 402 Row A

I always thought that I would be one of those who would pay no matter what as well but to hell with it. You can't be mad at them for setting foolish prices... who's the real fool if you part with your cash, however reluctantly you do it?

You either pay the money happily or you refuse to get sucked in by it all. All you are doing by buying tickets is condoning their prices so that next time, they can demand even more. It's sickening.

Do they care if you're mad but bought tix? Not a chance - they're laughing all the way to the bank!

I'm going to see how things pan out, I can't see them selling out the five nights with these ridiculous prices.

So, I'm not buying anything just yet and then hopefully some will turn up on Ebay for a reasonable price.

I got two Bruce Springsteen Dublin tickets for £40 each a day before the show on Ebay, they were sold out and £86 face value.

Got tickets for the last 2 shows. A lot of money, but I hope it's gonna be worth it. (200 pound for both of the shows)

Aloha !

Yeah, I don't get that either. And it was pretty obvious that the prices were going to be sky high from the start, it's not like Jon is not in it for the money, he's bcome more money hungry with every tour.

There's always my domain on which I previously hosted the fake tourdates though. Let's see if I can get that site up again and post all comments regarding the ridiculous pricing. I think the Sun would pick it up if there's enough upset comments on it.
