Why Did I Pay That?

[darrenbacker]

What is the band that you have overpaid the most for.

 

I live in Ottawa. I try to see all the big bands that come to town. For some reason I bought $75 Police tickets.

I don't even really like them.

 

Anyone have a similar story to ease my pain?

$75 for the police isnt bad given how crazy people got for them this past year.

 

i think anything over $100 probably isn't worth it, regardless of who it's for. i shake my head at those individuals who go nuts for U2 tickets and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for tickets.

 

i think at this point, the only artist whom i'd be tempted to pay more than $100 for would be david bowie. just because i don't think he has that many more world tours in him.

 

i've paid for some $75 dollar tickets before, but all of the shows i have done that for involved bands i thoroughly enjoy. even the openers: tool, with tomahawk opening, tool with isis opening, nine inch nails with queens of the stonage and DFA1979 opening.

I forget the exact amount, but it was definitely around the $100 mark to see U2 a few years back. It was a damn good show though.

I paid $150 to see U2, but then Eddie Vedder did do an encore with them.

Worst for me would have to be 95$CDN for Red Hot Chili Pepper tickets.

Seats weren't even that good.

$150 or so for Oasis last year at the ACC. I was 4th row floor though and I love those guys.

I didn't think Oasis would be that expensive.

$120 or something close to see U2. i also paid rent that week so it was ramen noodles all week!

Ebay, my friend.

[saturnine]

$80 or $90 for bowie. usually around $70 for tool and nin. granted at least $12 of that is directly to ticketmaster.

We paid a lot for Foo Fighters, but hopefully it should be a good show.

[Zaino]

I paid $220.00 a ticket as a Christmas gift for me and my Father to see Queen + Paul Rodgers at the ACC. It was indeed a rip off.

[hum-an-ole]

McDreamy paid for my Foo Fighters ticket and wouldn't tell me how much it cost, but now I feel bad knowing it was probably expensive.

 

I paid about $80 for Snoop Dogg
