Ticket Prices

   Discussion: Ticket Prices
Songbill · 19 years, 9 months ago
This week, I'm skipping seeing one of my heros, David Byrne, because tickets are $75. Even Wilco is $35. Thank goodness the Nields will be inexpensive this weekend. Are other people missing out on what should be good shows for the same reasons?
Andrea Krause Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

Yeah...any acts I like that become relatively big get priced out of my range. It's depressing. I suppose if they mean enought o me I make it happen. But few people fit in that category, even if I like them a great deal.

Songbill Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
I decided to fork it out for Simon and Garfunkel, which I think was worth it. But I can only do that every so often.
Andrea Krause Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

Yeah...I think my days are pretty far behind me but because it meant so much to me I coughed up a lot to see Paul McCartney both times and also Pink Floyd. I don't regret it, they meant a lot to me. Couldn't do it today though.

It's not a musical act, but I'd probably have seen a few more Watkins Glen NASCAR races if NEXTEL Cup weekend tickets weren't around $70 a head.

angelmusicmaven Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

i'm about to pay over $30/ticket + TM fees. for The Hip for my BF for his birthday - as soon as the post the f@#$ing toledo date on ticketbastard.
Josh Woodward · 19 years, 9 months ago
Tickets for Michael Moore in Toledo are $5. Not too shabby. :)
Starfox Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Especially for someone that flabby! *badadump!*
A.J. Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Honestly, I thinkMichael Moore should be paying US to attend his diatribes. Not that I disagree with him, but I wouldn't PAY to hear him.
goovie is married! · 19 years, 9 months ago
we shelled out the $$ to see them last year, but this year, they're doing a theater show instead of an auditorium show, so tickets are way too expensive. *sigh*

of course, if they got bill berry back, i'd pay anything they asked...
Songbill Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Same here. Urrggh.
Phoenix · 19 years, 9 months ago
hrm. I shelled out almost 50 Euros for a ticket (show will be at the end of October) but it's too rare an occasion to miss out ...
nate... · 19 years, 9 months ago
The only one I'd ever pay more than $25 for is Tom.

For him I'd pay .. well... just about anything.
:)
Songbill Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Tom Waits?
goovie is married! Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
yes, i would pay any amount of money to see tom bosley.

oh, wait, wrong tom.
angelmusicmaven Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
Tom Jones is charing WAY too much.� But if I can scrape it together, I need to go and have a great laugh!!!

Is there any other?

Bender · 19 years, 9 months ago
christine lavin/tom paxton double bill, tickets are $30+.

hugh's room.

this eats my soul.

will set aside money.
Wintress · 19 years, 9 months ago
Someone, somewhere, is willing to fork up the bucks. A lot of someones.

Interestingly enough, shows are cancelled for this exact reason: sales too low because people tend to pick one or two big shows for their summer concerts.
A.J. · 19 years, 9 months ago
$23 each for the upper balcony, Everyone over 1 yr. must have a ticket. Main Floor Seats were 30 bucks each. These for shows where the target audience usually is going to have 2 parents in tow. Dora Live was even worse. $40 a piece for the main floor. We skipped that.
Bender Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
but. dude.

it's The Wiggles.

I'd totally pay that.

Come on. The accents. Captain Feathersword. Dorothy the friggin' dancing dinosaur. A big purple octopus bandleader.

How can you beat that?
Geoff Back · 19 years, 9 months ago
My daughter had a BLAST at the Wiggles show. She was wearing a Dorothy tail, and dancing up a tiny little storm in the aisle.
iPauley Back · 19 years, 9 months ago

. . . made girlyman too expensive this time around. It was so sad
Christina Abbott · 19 years, 9 months ago
i'm forking over not including taxes, etc about $45 a pop to take my fiance to see ani difranco @ the beacon theatre in nyc since he's never seen her live.

i told him it would be part of his birthday present. hopefully i can scrape together the funds before tickets sell out.

but usually $20-25 is the highest i can spend to see an artist.
ChrisChin is Getting Old · 19 years, 9 months ago
I just forked over about $45 bucks a pop including fees and such for Indigo Girls and Girlyman at the Palace Theater in Stamford CT, which is about where I draw the limit for performers that I really really want to see.

Most of the time, I usually try to stay within an upper limit of around 20 bucks for a music show.

This means that I probably won't get tickets to see REM when they go on sale on Saturday unless I can convince my brother to buy them for me as a early holiday present...which may work, which cost 45 to 75 bucks before fees.
