irg82 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm still pissed I didn't buy a passcode off ebay. I remember seeing them for like $300 dollars. I told my parents to not get me a car for my birthday, I wanted to go the show instead. That didn't work. Sorry for my bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnroxx Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I can remember when concert tickets were 6 dollars...thought it was an outrage when they went to 10 I paid $6.00 for my first concert: Rory Galllagher, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and Uriah Heep. That was in early 1974. A few months later, Pink Floyd came to town on the Dark Side Of The Moon tour, Those tix cost $8.00. Priceless... ;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 We paid $125/ea to see the Eagles in '02 (floor seats) and it was definitely worth it. The closest we've come to that was ~$65-70/ea for DMB with Neil Young in '01 (also floor seats) and that was well worth it. I paid, I think, upper $30s/ea to see the Police back in '83 and thought that was high (!); I passed on paying $90+/ea this fall to see them again though. LZ (should they tour) and the Eagles are the only 2 bands I would pay "whatever" to see. Oops, I would also include Fleetwood Mac and/or Stevie Nicks.

leddy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Seeing Zeppelin last month was the most I have ever paid for a ticket and that was pretty much face value, booking fee etc !!,. Ticket prices these days are way too high and i am afraid there isn't really anyone other than Zep that can merit the amounts touted nowdays !! I mean there is noway I would pay more than 20 pounds to see say the Stones and as that isn't going to happen I aint going to see them !! I think i am prepared to pay 60 pounds max to see anyone these dyas as have seen most of the high earners and don't need to see them again, I would however pay more for Zeppelin because I think they are worth it !!

Jahfin Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just some random ticket prices from over the years off the top of my head: Derringer/Foghat/The Outlaws Mid to late 70s, it was either $6.50 or $7.50 a ticket R.E.M. with Let's Active 1986 - $17.50 An older brother was sorting through old concert tix a few years ago and found one for the Grateful Dead for 1980 (I think, it was early 80s at least), the price? 10 whopping bucks. I think the most I've ever paid for a ticket (besides festivals) is $90 for the Police. I've paid up to $80 see R.E.M. on their last tour but thanks to the fanclub one pair of those was in the front row in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
