How Much Have You Ever Paid For Tickets?
 
Out of all the shows you've gone to over the years how much have you paid ? Was the money worth the show? Are you willing to pay more if its a band you really like?

The most Ive paid so far is $50 to see Bob Dylan and i feel it was worth it. The guy is a legend and is still playing since the 60s.It was a great show too, Dylan still puts on an interesting live show.

the most I've paid is 36 euros to see Radiohead in Piazza Castello in Ferrara, (same place SY played in a couple days ago), I don't regret it at all. Amazing show.

jon boy 07.09.2007 02:15 PM

other than festivals, atp was very expensive the most i paid was £25 for a ticket i never even used. nirvana.

SynthethicalY 07.09.2007 02:42 PM

60 dollars for Sonic Youth.

drrrtyboots 07.09.2007 02:48 PM

$42 for Sonic Youth.

youthoftomorrow 07.09.2007 02:55 PM

the most i've ever paid was $25 for Sonic Youth.

however, i did receive a pair of $75 tickets to Metallica as a gift. that show was a fucking blast.

Cardinal Rob 07.09.2007 03:01 PM

I don't think I've spent over £15.

jennthebenn 07.09.2007 03:02 PM

55 bucks for devo. TWICE.

mAraujo 07.09.2007 03:10 PM

I spent 70 euros on a Pearl Jam ticket. I felt like I was being robbed but it was worth every cent.

Pax Americana 07.09.2007 03:13 PM

I spent $65 for tickets to an upcoming Police show.

The most I spent for Sonic Youth was like $30 I think.

nature scene 07.09.2007 03:16 PM

$35 for a mediocre Sonic Youth show.

a lot more to go to bonnaroo, which was totally worth it.

Toxa 07.09.2007 03:32 PM

1500 roubles.. it is about 60$. for Sonic Youth of course!

pokkeherrie 07.09.2007 03:46 PM

When I was in Australia I went to see The Cure and that was like Aus$65 or something, which I remember being ridiculously expensive when converted to the dutch currency at the time (guilder). Anyway that was pre-euro times so I don't really know how it would compare nowadays... surely over 40 euros though.
DDN gigs in London are expensive too... stupid pound sterling!


I think Radiohead 4-5 years ago was somewhere between 35-40 euros as well.

Bollocks_to_Pop 07.09.2007 03:48 PM

$90 for The Who. What a waste.

sonicl 07.09.2007 03:57 PM

My most expensive was to take my girlfriend to see Kylie Minogue a couple of years ago, and that was about £40, I think.

For myself, probably about £30 to see Sonic Youth and a similar amount to see Nick Cave.

screamingskull 07.09.2007 04:05 PM

£25.00 per ticket x 4 tickets for sonic youth.

Danny Himself 07.09.2007 04:47 PM

^^^^
Ditto, except I only bought 2 tickets.

HaydenAsche 07.09.2007 04:54 PM

I spent like 50 bucks on Radiohead. Other than that, I haven't paid more than 15 bucks or so.

Rob Instigator 07.09.2007 05:02 PM

For my girlfriend's birthday in august I purchased two Tony bennet tickets a few months ago. Each runs about $85.00. He is her favorite.

 

pbradley 07.09.2007 05:50 PM

Something like $35 bucks for a Franz Ferdinand. It wasn't worth it mostly because I'm not a big fan and the show was very... forced (you know, fake smiles and heartless guitar solos). Too bad I owed somebody the favor of going.

greenbird 07.09.2007 05:54 PM

€70 for Radiohead, Beck and Deerhoof.
Well worth it, The 'Hoof played for an hour. Beck, an hour and a half. Radiohead, 2 and a half

terminal pharmacy 07.09.2007 05:57 PM

$80 - $100au is the average price for big shows in Aus. Dylan is around $140 though so I havent decided if Ill go or not

Onani Nic 07.09.2007 06:03 PM

$60 is the most i've paid to see sonic youth last year. It was pretty boring, maybe I just had too high an expectations.

Thats some lineup.

sarramkrop 07.09.2007 06:14 PM

£70 to see a tiny Madonna onstage. I could have spent a lot less and gone to G.A.Y., which generally has the same sort of atmosphere that you felt at that gig.

pbradley 07.09.2007 06:18 PM

I don't believe I would ever allow myself to pay over $40 for a ticket. I need to pay rent, ya know?

Norma J 07.09.2007 07:07 PM

I won't pay extreme prices. Hence why I'm not seeing Dylan even though I love the man. $140 is alot of records I could buy and keep forever.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 07.09.2007 08:04 PM

300 or something for coachella
i dont remember
same with bonnaroo

terminal pharmacy 07.09.2007 08:09 PM

average opera is about $120 au and I usually see a couple a year

Inhuman 07.09.2007 08:45 PM

$60.00 for Sonic Youth + Dino Jr. + Damian Marley

Aye, The first time I'd seen any of them. Deerhoof blew me away, Beck was fantastic, as was Radiohead...obviously,

Spiritual Amnesia 07.10.2007 06:44 AM

120 € for Sonic Youth (it was a big festival)

_slavo_ 07.10.2007 08:13 AM

20 $ for Sonic Youth.

20 $ for Mogwai.

That's about as much money as I can think of.

SonicSam 07.10.2007 02:04 PM

20 quid for slint, It was worth it. I've been to one or two shows that have been more, but I got them for presents etc...

Trasher02 07.10.2007 02:14 PM

35€ for Sonic Youth.

Yes, it was October 2000 in Perth.

It's the same here actually, ticket pices for big shows have pretty much doubled since then... but I haven't been to any big shows in recent years. Stadium shows can cost anywhere between €50-€80 nowadays.. that's still cheaper than AU$150 though (which is €95 as I just found out! :eek:). I reckon a band like the Cure would cost about €40 nowadays if they'd play here.

dionysusundone 07.10.2007 05:07 PM

Thinking about going to see the Cure when they come, so that'll be...70, at least, I assume.

Before this, I can't remember ever spending more than like...35? I think that was for Ministry or something similarly eh.

Cantankerous 07.10.2007 11:46 PM

i paid a hell of a lot of money to go to coachella, (however much the fucking weekend pass cost, i think it was over $200 and i paid for two people to go) but all in all i think it was worth it.

Rob Instigator 07.11.2007 09:46 AM

jesus fuck. over $200.00

I cannot seeing paying that for one ticket, or one pass.
