As the title says, what's the most you've ever paid for a ticket?

I missed out on VFest tickets this year and ended up paying £220

I also have a ticket for Noel Gallagher's High Flying birds for the 26th oct in Manchester which set me back £100

Don't worry, I can help you. I am a Secret Millionaire (like on the tv show) and I want to help ordinary, decent people like you. All I need are your bank details (you can pm them to me, I wouldn't trust other forum users with them ) and I'll wire some much needed funds your way tomorrow!

100 euros, but I've only been to 2 concerts in my life, since hardly anybody tours in my country, so that little record of mine might change in the future.There are some artists that if they come to my country, I will be VERY generous with the tickets as long as I can see them properly and maybe even touch them.But the only way you can touch your favorite artist is to get the rather cheap tickets with no seat included right in front of the stage, so maybe 100 euros will be my peak

I have a rule where I won't buy tickets over face value. If other people are enjoying the same experience then why should I fork out more? Not to mention it funds drugs, piracy and terrorism among other things.

The most I paid (face value) for a gig ticket was £95 for Paul McCartney at Hampden Park and was prepared to pay it as he hadn't played Scotland in my lifetime (I'm 19) and the guy is one of the most successful musicians of all time. I also paid £75 a piece for Take That this year (as I figured I was getting TT4, TT5, Robbie and The Pet Shop Boys all in one show) and MJ at The O2 but we all know what happened there.

I'm going to see The Kooks on Friday in Glasgow and I paid £1.34 for a pair of tickets from eBay. Now that's the least I've ever paid for a gig ticket!

I do attempt to buy them at face value first, however its not often I get them. Also I think the kooks tickets were something like £20 this year, stupidly cheap.

Well, after actually reading the thread, I think I had no business posting in here I was talking about buying tickets in the "traditional" way tbh.No bank accounts I should always read the text and not just the title then

Would you like to explain how it funds drugs and terrorism? I'd love to hear that.

I haven't got the faintest idea and TBH don't see the importance...

I know we paid next to nothing to see the Searchers a few weeks back. I haven't got a clue what the Take That tickets cost or what we paid to see Manon at the ROH, whatever it was I expect the Hotel cost more...

I think the most I've ever paid for a single gig (i.e. not a festvial) was £50 for a ticket to see the Killers a few years back, that was from a tout.

Think the highest I've ever paid face value for a single gig was £45 to see Depeche Mode.

On the other hand I paid £6.50 to see a band (Kyte) at the weekend.

the most i've ever paid was i think £130/140 for a bowie ticket from a tout. it was for a special one off gig at the hammersmith appollo in london in 2002. i think normal price was only £30 but only 500 tickets were onsale online to fanclub members on his fansite and the rest you had to line up outside one day to buy in person. as i don't live in london and it was a cold day, i was glad to pay £100 to avoid that

it was well worth it as it was an amazing 3 hour show. all the bowie songs you could want were played

apart from that, face value i think george michaels upcoming gigs are about £100. VIP bathrooms though

The most i've paid was £75 to see MJ at the O2. I kept the souvenir ticket. That would probably be my limit though.

£100 for Pearl Jam at Shepherd's Bush bought off Gumtree. Face value I think was 35 but there were very limited tickets and it sold out in minutes. I got off cheap as the 2 guys sitting either side of me paid £300 each from ebay. Was well worth it as it was an awesome show.

The most I payed was £75 to see the Spice Girls at the o2 in London. I also saw them in Vegas but didn't have to pay for a ticket so don't know how much it was.

I don't mind paying over £100/£150 for festivals, but the most I've paid for a single gig was the other day. I bought 2 tickets @ £100 each for Ryan Adams @ Union Chapel

I think seeing him in such an intimate venue will be worth every penny though, so I'm not complaining (much)

If were not including festivals then it would probably £95 for a 'Golden Circle' ticket (actually bought two) for the Foo Fighters at Hyde Park back in 2006.

Was well worth it in my opinion though seeing as Motorhead, and Queens of the Stone Age were part of the supporting lineup.

that reminds me i did pay about £250 for a VIP ticket to see prince at the o2, but in the end i got a similar seat without the pregig bar stuff for cheaper and got a refund. and on the final night i got a free VIP ticket, but missed the bar

so i suppose i paid for the ticket, even if i got a refund

£85 for Spice Girls, £90 for Kylie and £200 for most recent weekend camping ticket for Reading (which I ended up not able to go to because of work )

Got a ticket for Coachella festival in California next year and while the ticket itself was reasonable price, it will definitely be the most expensive trip for a gig/festival I've ever taken

£27.97 to see Katy Perry. Surprisingly worth it.
