The Rush Kid Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 What's the most you've spent ON A TICKET at a Rush Concert, how close were you to the stage, and was it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushchick10 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think I payed around $100 a ticket on Ebay back on the R30 tour and ended up with 6th row center. Face Value on the tickets was $81. Yes, it was worth it. It's never not been worth it for me! Least I ever payed was $24.00 each on the T4E tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonfiredaman02 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think it was about $110 for 7th row center at PNC last tour. I sure thought it was worth it, it's probably the best time I've ever had. Still I wouldn't spend much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 On the last tour I paid about 95 (including charges) for 3rd row Alex side...worth it. But back in '84 I paid about 40 bucks to a "friend" for an 11th row seat....It was worth it but only 'cuz it was my second show and was my life back then. That was about 3 times face value and wouldn't spend that much again....especially on this tour with these prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I've never bought scalped tickets; always paid face value. So this is definitely going to be my big one. It really is a bit of a dilemma. If I were only buying one ticket, I'd go for it. But my husband really wants to go. He's more of a "casual fan", but Snakes was his first live Rush experience and he was blown away. He's super psyched to see them again. He'd be really hurt if I asked him to stay home so I can buy a better seat for myself. I'm not denying him that - some things ARE more important. So with 2 tickets to buy, I am having a hard time justifying spending the equivalent of a house payment - possibly more - to get the VIP tickets. But maybe I'll get lucky!

Tick Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I paid 200 dollars for a second row center on Vapor Trails tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I spent $400.00 on a pair of front row seats that came with a limo and back stage passes for the Counterparts tour at Madison Round Garden. Worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1994 that might've seemed a bit steep, but throw in the limo ride and the backstage passes and it was still probably a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I was able to sell the tickets we already purchased in the 2nd tier so I didn't take a loss on the original tix. It was an awesome night. Here's the original story behind the tix. http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?show...=0entry825957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 About $80 after ass-pounding fees. Of course I've only ever seen them once. I paid over $100 to see Van Halen on their last jaunt. Most ever. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 my best seats were under $20 for second row center on the signals tour. Pretty sure my most expensive tickets were around $80 for the vapor trails tour. I guess they were around row 15 to 20 ?? the pathetic thing was me spending $80 on beer during the show. that is the biggest bar tab ever for me at a concert.

umoveme Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 $100 15th row worth it because everyone was standing up and dancing and i snuck up to the front!!! I just spent $125 for 20th row. I'll be creeping to the front again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzin Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) It's always been around a couple of hundred bucks for two tickets-maybe the most was $300 for two 6th row center floor seats at the Meadowlands that I donated to two friends. It was worth it for them because they had a great time and had never seen Rush live before. It was worth it for me too because I was able to do that for them. My favorite seats have been in the first couple of rows on the right side of the stage, usually $20-$30 bucks over face value. I always try to get something somewhere in that general vicinity. Let's see what I can snag for Mohegan Sun. I'll report back as to what they cost. I will NOT see them at Jones Beach.
