Dude, there is no reason to pay that much for a ticket. I saw Roger this year and the ticket was about 85 with convenience fees and taxes. I mean i wàsnt as close as you will be, but then again i never feel i need to. I dont think ive ever spent over 100 on the face value of a ticket, it only gets above once you add in the convenince bullshit. But if you have the financial security to afford it then thats just fine.

my wife likes adele, but i think we'd rather use the money ($1400??) for over 17 weeks of grocery bills.

i try not to see any artist that's too wide known just for this reason -- don't want to pay hundreds of bucks for a couple hours of standing while being shoved trying desperately to peer around the tall guys in front of me for a good glimpse (because people invariably stand up even with seats). i watch around the edges, like calexico, carly rae, mountain goats, cloud nothings, old 97s, krs-one... Now, the theater's still packed for all of those artists (except calexico), but for ~$20-$35 a ticket, not as big of a deal.

Two drink minimum and five bucks at the door

I'd rather spend my money on records. Concerts don't mean anything to me.

Does anyone have the latest Roger Waters album?
Is anyone going to see him perform?
I follow him on twitter and everywhere he goes he sells out and causes a huge buzz!
About 6 years ago his "WALL" tour was the best performance I ever seen.
In less than 2 weeks he arrives in Toronto for 3 shows (I'm going to 1 of them).
I'm also travelling to Ottawa to watch him. In Ottawa, I'm 4 rows from center stage.
In Toronto I could only get 25 rows back.
For these jewels, I paid $500 each via ticket master. And I'm still PUMPED.

Guess what, last year I paid $700 each for 2 scalper tickets to see Adele.
It was the most I ever paid but it made my wife very very very happy and it was worth it.

Just curious, whats your top $$$ that you are willing to spend to see a show??
