The price you paid

[BONO'ppetit]

How much did you pay for yours concert ticket/s?

For those who don't want to admit paying more than a month's allowance on their tickets, there's a poll (if I can figure out how to post it ) so you can answer annonymously.

 

[BONO'ppetit]

p.s.

I know most people don't get allowance these days. You don't have to get allowance to reply. That was my generic way of saying money.

 

[Aardvark747]

Slightly above i'd say. £85 each from Ticketmaster...and on top of that, the $40 for the U2.com scam er, membership!

 

[neutral]

Just face value so far for me.

 

[joe_leedsfc07]

$200 for boston 28th of may
Face value for croke park opeming night( which i'm going to miss)

you don't happen to want to sell that ticket do you?!

(sorry to jump on your misfortune there)

 

[BONO'ppetit]

I forgot to add an "I mooched mine" option. So, I mooched 4 of my tickets off a radio station.

 

[sweetie]

I paid face for 4 shows. For one GA ticket I paid $300 way back in the beginning

 

[Liesje]

I paid for a pair in each of those catagories.

 

[sociopathetic]

I paid face or below for reserved seat tickets when I had them, above face for every GA ticket, and way way above face for MSG.

 

[FlyYourKite]

Face for my seat at Chicago II, WAY too much for my 9/17 Toronto GA. Hopefully face for the rest of the Toronto tickets I am determined to get but we'll see what happens

 

[teebee]

2 MSG GAs, and I didn't pay a dime.

10.10 ... traded (free) coldplay tickets for them.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I have vowed never to speak of it again. (how much I paid, that is.)

Anaheim1 GA - $150
LA1 Seat - Face
LA2 GA - $275
(last one was the best because it was the closest I've been to U2 at a concert)

Fall leg? Still in need of tix

 

[Tech]

San Diego 1 behind stage seats- free( thanks to a friend who couldn't make it)
Anaheim 1 GA: face value (pre-sale)
Anaheim 2 GA: over $200 I think can't remeber because of the shock.
Staples 1 and 2 GA's : over $500 for both nights ( one tix given as B-day present)

Staples 1 for November - 1 GA face value (thanks to somebody on this board)
Staples 2 for November - 2 GA's at face value (prop pre-sale)
Las Vegas 1- $180 lower lever ticket at face value
Las Vegas 2- 1 GA $220

So I've basically have had some luck BUT I still paid big $ for this tour though ( ALL WORTH IT THOUGH......NOT A SINGLE REGRET!! )

[kellyahern]

San Diego 1 &2 and Seattle 1 = face value

Seattle 2 = slightly above face

Boston 3 = way more than I should have (God I hope the ticket works too )


Miami 1 &2, Tampa =face value

Oh there's still plenty of time to go into massive debt for the third leg. buy buy buy!!






I'm not a bad influence am I?

 

[Liesje]

5/7 = 2 200 level seats for $80 a piece, slightly above face + TM fees

5/9 = 2 GAs from a broker for $175 a piece, rediculously above face value

9/20 and 9/21 = pending, need 6 GAs total (3 for each show), just applied for a student loan to cover summer classes and requested $400 above tuition costs to buy more tickets. Hey, the interest rates are much lower for student loans than credit card bills!

10/24 = 2 GAs for face + TM fees from an Interferencer

 

[BONO'ppetit]

After reading this I don't feel so bad now. But you know what? I'd do it again if they came back to Seattle. In fact, I'm gonna do it again to see them in Portland.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I paid a little bit above face value for my nosebleeds in Chicago.

 

[matt_tx00]

LOL Well I *did* feel better about it...now I think I'm an addict or something.

 

[Sicy]

I paid face value on all my tickets.. luckily.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Face value on all of my GA's, and my one nosebleeder.

I'm a lucky girl.

 

[daygloeyes2]

$300 for 2 GA's to the 12/4 show.
