What is the most you would pay for a concert ticket?

Like Be Excellent - I paid $250.00 per ticket to see Simon and Garfunkel in 2003. I saw them at UCLA in 1967 and paid (I think) $15.00 per ticket.

Then there was the 1999 Bruce reunion tour - some shows sold out instantly and the only recourse was resellers. I think I paid $500.00 for 2 tickets in 1999 to one of the Continental (Meadowlands) shows. But that was Bruce and I don't regret a penny that I have spent over the years on Bruce tickets. Like Bon Jovi - Bruce tends to keep the ticket prices down. It's buying them on e-bay or through resellers that is the killer.

I have paid more for fundraiser tickets but I don't think that counts - that is meant to be donated to a good cause.

well most tickets iv got were bought from ticketmaster

but wen i come back from norway i will be hunting down Meat Loaf tickets so i guess they will be a bit pricy! tho i won t go over 80 quid for them

being just 17 and earning £400 a month ($770) I'd only stretch to about £300 ($580) for Bon Jovi @ Wembley (Golden Circle.......?)

Oh it counts if its coming out of your wallet!!!!

Well yeah - but it's not just paying for a concert - it actually counts as a donation. And - in my case - fundraisers are few and far between. Concerts - on the other hand.......are much more frequent

It depends on the event, artist, and venue. I'll buy from scalpers so I'm willing to pay more than face value. I'll pay more for smaller venues.

The most I've spent on face value tickets was $400 for Bon Jovi for the Hard Rock Hotel in Florida--not worth it. The casino setting limited their show to a shorter set than normal.

The most I've paid for charity was $500 for Keith's Max It Out benefit which was worth every penny and more. The proceeds went to meningitis research. The package included a swanky private dinner with Keith, Richard Marx, Katrina Elam, and Keith Anderson doing acoustic sets. Then the main event put me 4th row (later moved up to first row) and Keith's guests included Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Montgomery Gentry, Wynonna, Katrina Elam (again), Richard Marx (again), Leanne Rimes, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Radney Foster, and others I'm forgetting. The dinner started at 6:00 PM and Keith ended the concert around 2:00 AM.

So, lets say there's a hypothetical 6 hour concert benefitting charity at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville featuring Bon Jovi, Keith Urban, Nickelback, and Chris Daughtry..... my bank account would be in danger of taking a MAJOR hit.

The only thing I can say is I would never pay more for a concert ticket than I could afford to pay off immediately. I will not go into debt for entertainment.

I had that dilema for Bon Jovi at Sheperds Bush, but there was no way I was putting £500 on my credit card, not even for them

btw BEcky is that Griff rhys jones in your Avatar??
