Great band snags but how much?

[Slapshot]

£200 for two tickets for my missus and her sister to see Tak Yon in Weegieland next year

Havn't bought tickets for years, I am lucky enough to see gigs for free.

A friend looks after press for Joe Bonamassa and when Joe played his specialist gigs in London - three nights playing three diferent albums, tickets were £500 each. As my friend was waiting for guests at the box office, a guy rolled up and asked for two tickers. On being told that would be one thousand pounds, he flashed his card without flinching.

No that is being a fan!

I once had a rush of blood to the head and paid over £100 for a ticket in the Orchestra Stalls to see "Götterdämmerung", at Covent Garden back in 1990. It would cost at least £200 now.

This was the only ticket I could get, as all the cheaper ones had sold out and I had ploughed through the first three operas of the Ring and I was damned if I was going to miss out on the last one !

I've recently seen Rosie Lowe (£6), Chantel McGregor (£12), and the Mediaeval Baebes, which was really expensive (£20).

I guess I'm just a tightarse.

Jean Michel Jarre - £55 - Front Row at the Armadillo.
I find that ticket prices for concerts now are getting ridiculous.
I'll just wait for the DVDs as that's all I can afford.

I've seen Sting live before - he's good. He does songs from The Police back catalogue as well.

Apart from being stung by touts when they were the only option - £79 for U2 at Twickenham. One of the most forgettable concerts I have ever been to. The sound from the relay speakers was terrible and Bono put a hole in the concert when he stopped to push his political views on us.

I don't like anyone enough to pay that sort of money to see them. Most I've probably paid is £40 for my daughter and friend to see Blue.

[Peter Pedant]

£100 for the final last last-ever concert of Pavarotti in Brum

stunning back up by a soprano who we found was .... Cecilia Bartoli

well worth it

Mikey your £100 ticket may be around £164 - I think I was sitting in one for Marriage of Figaro now available on CD for much less ! I think I touted for the ticket for x pounds - like £40 and found that the punters wanted any amount for a ticket that had cost them £164. Sat next to a girlie who yawned throughout to show lover-boy how bored she was by it all - and he had paid £328 for the evg.

Beautiful singing and a life lesson

[ummmm]

I can't really remember what I've paid but Glastonbury tickets are £200 odd pound and I got to see loads of bands, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder included.

[lady-janine]

saw Pavarotti in bruges so in the end that worked out a bit expensive but well worth it.

saw Rubenstein but again can't remember how much. not expensive as I was at school.
