Will you be willing to pay a hefty ticket for a concert?

[Anonymous]

Even if you know there are more important priorities in your life than to attend a concert of your favorite musical band or singer?

In my case I won't. but besides I hate big crowds anyway, even if it is U2 I won't pay a hefty ticket.

In the USA how much time in advance ticket prices go on sale for most concerts? I want to make a comparison to the time in my country tickets are out for sale.

If I had a friend that would pay their own way I would pay up to $500 to be front row at either a Metallica or Megadeth concert. I would like to see them live once before they retire since they were my favorite bands since I was elementary age.
Or if I get a girlfriend that likes that same kind of music and she is a really good person I could pay for both of us.
Any other artist I like though I couldn't imagine paying more than $50.

If I only went to one or two concerts a year I would splurge.
I am a hockey fan and tickets are expensive. I only go to one game a year so it is a treat I buy for myself.

Thanks for the MHO

Hmmm to be trapped in a suffocating building with thousands of sweaty people and having drinks spilt on you and going deaf by the extremely loud music and people 🤔 tough choice but I think I’ll pass

[420Rachel]

I'm actually going to see one of my favorite bands next Friday. 🤣 So I guess I'm guilty lol.

[t-8900]

I'd be willing to pay whatever I could afford to get backstage passes to a Rammstein concert in Europe. That's like on my bucket list even though it's never gonna happen lol

[ShadezMcgee]

I did before. Dropped $150.00 for a Metallica ticket. Most expensive concert ticket I ever bought.

[Asker]

Where I live and it is not in the USA:Coldplay is going ot be here next year in a stadium but only vaccinated people can attend and the most expensive ticket is around $155. In my country many people is going to attend they say is a cheap price even if it is for Cold Play and we are not a First world country.

[ShadezMcgee]

Um, ok? Not sure what being non first world country has to do with that. I was just giving an answer based on the question towards me personally.

It depends on the band and how bad I want to see them.

[Asker]

Lets say I dotn live in the USA and our net lifestyle cost is not so high, and with the pandemic and all, jobs lost, unemployed people, economy bad people still are willing to pay high prices to attend a concert because the band or singer worth paying a lot of money. But I guess the ones attending concerts are the ones maybe who never lost a job during pandemic and cat afford high prices and they say the ticket price is cheap comparing to other bands played in other countries but in other countrioes the net income are much higher than ours.

[zagor]

Ticket prices have gotten insane. Before streaming bands toured to promote album sales but now they depend on concerts for $ so prices are up. Although the agencies taking a big chunk is even worse.

[Asker]

Myabe for the virus, concert production agencies need to balance for all what they lost for not arranging live concerts when the pandemic started.

[zagor]

But the prices were getting ridiculous before covid. A girl on GaG asked me to look up prices for Bruno Mars in L. A. and the cheap seats were > $200, in a very large venue.

[Asker]

and $200 is a lot of money? I mean I ask beacuse Coldplay is going to play in my country (Costa Rica) next year. Costa Rica is a small country and we are not like economically rich per se, and the most expensive ticket price for the concert will be $160.

[zagor]

This was for the cheapest seat in an arena that holds 20,000 people. It was about $240 I believe.

The most I've ever paid was about $100 and that was a big name in a small venue.

[Manchild2018]

I would not go to one anyway let alone know with the covid shot being mandated. I will never go to one again.

[Asker]

So pity for you you won't be able to enter any place then not even a restaurant for that matter if you are not fully vaccinated.

[Manchild2018]

No pitty for me because I will still be alive and not have an autoimmune disorder or some other BS caused by technology that is not meant to be in my body. I got news for you too those restaurants will not even be open for long after they lose half of their business for not letting us in.

[Manchild2018]

Look at France the economy is done because of this.

[ImmortalHanma]

I didn’t pay much when I went to see Beyoncé my section was pretty close
And when I went to see little baby too he wasn’t lying when he said he turn up on a hater every chance that he get I didn’t even know what kpins were😂

[ImmortalHanma]

The most I’ll pay is 300

[ImmortalHanma]

Maybe 400

[ArrowheadSW]

Too loud and crowded for me. I've never been into going to rock concerts.

[collie22]

i don't want to spend a lot of money for a music concert but i love going if its not expensive or to far away

[ChiPaPa]

Nope. I've spent around three hundred, but that was for three tickets. I don't spend that much on a single ticket.

[noohair]

I saw Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden $7.50 a seat.
But that was when a million dollars was a lot of money.

[Archerer]

Luckily all my favourite bands tickets are cheap as hell.

[BlacklightShade]

I'd pay a premium for my favorite bands.

[BlacklightShade]

I bought tickets.
