Hello

So, I've seen Joseph once, and have just booked tickets to see it again. Then there's the ticket for Hairspray I've just bought and the one I'm trying to arrange for 'I love you because'.

Then there was the big glossy programme at the Adelphi plus the smaller one with the interview ....plus others to come.... then of course there was all the votes

(And I still haven't bought one of those stuffed camels but I so have to get one )

Basically ADWD has turned into a very enjoyable but somewhat expensive hobby

Could someone out there make me feel a bit better by letting me know that I am not the only one spending lots on this??

I should point out that I don't begrudge a penny of this... but when I settled down to watch ADWD four months ago I didn't think it would be such an expensive decision!!

Well there was the tickets to Joseph see lee, and another to see lewis in january, the crystal palace ben ticket, the ticket (and train) to bromley to see craig/chris, i've a ticket to see lewis in croydon, a couple of hairspray tickets and trying to get tickets for i love you because.

Only had the small programme at Joseph and skipped it at Crystal palace.

Who knows how much I'll spend on camera batteries if I start hanging round the stage doors.

I'm very lucky that aside from Bromley all the travel is covered by my seasonticket.

Well, let's see:

Ticket for Sweeney Todd (mucho expensive but well worth it)
Ticket for I Love You Because (not as expensive)
Ticket for Jack and the Beanstalk
Train tickets from Manchester to London for all three of those (thank god for student railcards!)
Accommodation for ILYB and JatB

Yup, I'd say ADWD was an expensive choice lol !

No I didn't realise either!

Ticket for Dirty Dancing at Crystal Palace
Ticket for Dirty Dancing at Kew, and programme and train travel
Ticket for Joseph and train travel
Ticket for Hairspray
Ticket for I Love You Because

Live quite near London but still

Several dinners for those who did proxy voting
ADWD charity CD plus 6 quid postage to the US
2 tickets to see Lee in Joseph
Round trip airfare from Texas to London
God knows how many souvenirs at the show...

PMSL ! I saw the thread title and thought 'Omg, the joes are going on The Bill??!' d'oh ! daft way my brain thinks at times lol

Well, I am cheap Only bought the CD and some Craig tour tickets so far. Only because I live so far away I may not get to see the other guys, but I would dearly love to see them - especially Lee and Keith, one day. And Ben. And Daniel as well. Ooh and Seamus. Actually, all of them bar four, no three, ok two, I'd love to see. Maybe I will one day as I'm sure theres a few who will be around for a lonnnnng time to come

plus one Craig Chalmers album, out in November

Now lets think, what has been spent

Loads of votes on my mobile for Ben (yes I know they were expensive)
Tickets to see Joseph, hotel overnight and travel + souviners
Children in need CD
Tickets to see Ben in DD twice and travel both times.
Tickets to see Ben in Hairspray + travel
Keyring making equipment (the Angel's will know what I'm talking about LOL)

What about the loss of my sanity coz I've had nothing else to do but chat on here and watch ADWD vids

I don't want to think about it!

That goes without saying. Not without PAYING, though.

I don't want to
Think about it.
How it took my cash.

If I fan here just a little bit longer,
If I fan here then my wallet
Turns to ash.

Oh this thread is a reality check (or reality plastic in my case)

Phone voting
Ticks for Dirty Dancing x2 to see Ben
Ticks for Joseph (birthday pressie so free)
Joseph single (cheap and for charity)

Ticks for Hairspray to see Ben (plus ticks for the movie to check out whether thought Ben was suitable for the part )
2 Ticks for Mother and friend to see Craig in motherwell
Still to buy Ticks for Daniel's show
and ticks for Lewis (maybe!!)
Add on train ticks, picnic food for Ben's concerts and well ...............but it is priceless!

Totally. Its great that they're all so successful. Problem is think they're going to carry on being so.
Lets hope they all get longs runs in something like Lee and Ben so future costs can be spread out a bit more.

Forgot about panto.....

I love it!

It happens all the time! I don't want to think how much I have spent going to see Will! At least Lee stays in the same place.

Hotel £78 for two nights
Ticket £40
Train - free because sister can get complimentary rail travel every few months and kindly shares these with me.
Travel pass for 2 days £12 (approximately)
Seeing Lee Mead outside the theatre and getting a signed photo - Priceless!

Too true - being a ADWD fan is turning out to be an expensive hobby!

Ticket to DD concert at CP + programme + train travel
