what would you maximally pay for a u2 ticket?

[Down Under]

For a normal tour $250/300 (Australian dollars), but if it was the very last show before the band called it quits

I've loved U2 with all my heart for aeons but I wouldn't pay more than £100 to see them.

I paid a fortune on an auction for a ticket to the U2 club gig at the Astoria in London back in 2001. It was an online auction and I really didn't expect to win.. my heart jumped and sank when i realised I had won! The money did all go to a very good cause and after a 4 year wait the idea of seeing U2 in a small club was mindblowing.... and it was!

OK... I paid £850.. my logic? I'd gotten a car loan and decided that I just had to buy a car that was £850 cheaper! and I still have that car today... makes perfect sense to me

PS I don't think "maximally" is a word

I was going to say that... Someone should start a "How much would you minimumally pay for a ticket" thread

Easy there Bono...

I would pay upwards of $500... Canadian dollars that is.

I paid $150 for my GA ticket on Vertigo. I could only go to one show anyway (15 at the time, couldn't drive), so it didn't faze me. I ended up behind one person on the rail, with the band coming out on the ellipse several times. And, I met Adam before the show. I'd say my money was well spent, and it was absolutely mindblowing.

That said, I'd pay as much as I could afford at the time.

whatever I could afford at the time.

Same.

It would depend on where the seat was, what city was the show in (have to figure in traveling expenses), if I was going by myself or not, how many shows I was planning on going to, etc.

 

[MrPryck2U]

My max would be 125 US Dollars.

Depending on the occasion , I would even pay 1000 dollars

Definitely agree!

 

[tiny dancer]

I've paid $200 for front row seats.

Max for a standard U2 concert would probably be around $300 for a GA ticket.

I paid 600 at the Garden for GA and stood on the railing.It was a once in a lifetime thing and I was very happy but, It's a big rip off! Bono can raise millions for world debt but he can't keep the price of his own tickets down.Maybe if the band bought their own tickets then brokered the tickets themselves and donated a portion to charity I wouldn't be bitter.

 

[phillyfan26]

Considering I've never seen them live in concert? I'd say $400.

Maybe some one can answer this question , Vertigo Denver was my first U2 show I payed $170.00 for my ticket and I might add worth every penny and more !
I live in Albuquerque , NM . when I bought my ticket at Ticketmaster , Denver was blocking other states from buying tickets for the first 15 minutes . When the 15 minutes were up all the GA were gone . Is this a common practice ? blocking ?
U2 is the only band I would travel to see and I would also pay what ever I could afford .

 

[Bono's Betty]

$300 per ticket (ebay) Got me in the ellipse, front rail on Edge's side in Vegas baby!!

I wouldn't pay that much again though.

I like the idea of blocking in theory.It gives the fans who live in those areas a better chance at a ticket.

200 dollars is my limit although if I am crazy enough maybe even higher.
