Your Most Expensive Concert

[METALPRIEST]

What was your most expensive concert you had to shell out big bucks for. Mine would have to be Paul McCartney.



I can't remember the grand total but it was over a hundred smackers a person.

I spent close to 300 with everything that day and two people.​

My most expensive concert started out being not very expensive at all. I think it was 1999 when I treated two friends to seeing The Mcoy Tyner Trio at Blues Alley in DC. Now, the tickets themselves weren't really cheap (I think high 20s or low 30s) but that isn't what sapped my wallet. I drink pretty fast and ordered beer after beer and even the occasional whiskey because the show was really good. I kept asking the waitress what my tab was and she kept avoiding the question so by the time the show ended I had something like a $200 bar tab.
I thought the two guys understood when I lambed out of there but to my horror I looked behind me and neither was following. I went back in to 'face the music' and got to stand there and hear Tyner's drummer call us 'kids' in disgust when he walked by. I found that weirdly amusing but boy did the money loss hurt.

I have never been back to Blues Alley even though some very cool acts have been.

 

[Mr. Bob Dobolina]

Definitely The Stones, with The Eagles a close second.

McCartney hands down. Sabbath is next.

The Stones in Indianapolis for the Steel Wheels concert cost a pretty penny.....cant remember the exact amount but I can remember bitching about the cost.


Another one that hit the wallet pretty heavy was seeing Trans Siberian Orchestra..........tickets were like $125 USD a piece.

 

[Riff Raff]

AC/DC easily the most expensive and not surprisingly.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I remember when TSO tix were like 45 bucks Magic

You can still get seats that cheap, MP but you're in the back row

The TSO experience needs to be seen from up close, so the tickets are worth it.

360.00 for a pair of seats for The Dixie Chicks.

Really, really good seats, but still...that's 90 bucks per butt cheek.

I still feel sick to my stomach when I think about that.

For that kind of money, I should have gotten to bring one home.

whoa! I love the Dixie Chicks....but that was outrageous
