I can't believe the price of concert tickets out there. Some center stage floor tickets for Bon Jovi up in Denver are going for $1200 a piece! :O What the fawk!?!?

I know it's been a few years since I've been to a concert but I think these prices are outrageous! Sad part is I know people will still buy them.

What's the most anyone's ever spent to see a concert?

$150 per ticket. I rather see local bands or go to Toronto to some of slightly larger venues + I like the fact I can drink beer in these places! Support your local talent!

Bon Jovi is holding a contest for local bands to open for all thier concerts and they'll (or the record company) will chose the best and give them a record deal. Good enough for me.

Ohh,,, And I forgot to mention that I paid $130 a piece for two tickets and I think it's way too expensive. If it weren't for a nagging wife to go see them, I would've skipped.

The most I ever spend was $17.50 to see "Boston" back in 1988 or 87.

$265 per ticket (x2)....20 yard line ...first level, row 20 Giants vs the Redskins in Giants Stadium 3 years ago....

Not a concert ...but bullshit money anyways.

Oh ...I saw the 1) Broncos vs the Chiefs and 2) Broncos vs the Redskins this season for $52 a ticket.....that's two games in a better stadium, with better teams for less than 1 ticket in NY.

it's no wonder I keep hearing that the cost of living in NY is outrageous! There's the proof, but it still doesn't match $1200 a damn ticket! I guess I should be happy that I don't need to sit close enough to see the drummer's nostril hair!

inflation........ plus all the music that people download illegally....... those artists have to pay for their drug habit somehow so they up ticket prices to their venues

I paid about $175 a piece (two times face value) for nosebleed seats to Jimmy Buffett at the MGM grand. X 8 tickets that was a big ebay purchase.
