Cygnusss Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm curious as to how much you guys are willing to pay for 2nd row center seats to see Rush. You see, I have some money coming in the mail.... (some economical act) where basically they send you some extra money to boost the economy. Anyway, I found 2nd row center seats to a show an hour from where I live, and of Course I want to go, but the tickets are 300 bones each. Personally, I'm willing to pay that much to see them that close. But just about everyone and their mom is calling me crazy. to quote my father, "hell, I wouldn't pay that much to see ANY band, even if that price included a bj in the parking lot." but, heck, I'm a fan and that's what fans do. so just how much would you guys be willing to pay for great seats?

DiscipleofLerxst Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Do whatever the hell you want. If you are strapped for cash, or have lots of bills, or the money really SHOULD go to good use somewhere else, or if you really can't afford it even with the "economy booster". Be reasonable and make a wise decision...but remember it's only money, and a memory lasts a lifetime. Also, no matter how big a fan you are, or no matter how much the band sees you are into the show...chances are they you won't get pulled up on stage, party with the band 'til dawn, and then be their BFF. But having been in the front row for four shows and in the first 5 rows for 7 others....I can tell you there is no place better than being right up front....especially for Hope that helps.

krlowe Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I spent $1000 on two front row seats and buddy I tell ya.... ITS WORTH EVERY FRIGGIN PENNY Of course its a stupid decision to spend that much, but I had it saved(MOST of it) for three shows on the tour and decided "I Will see only one show and just sit front row!" I went to see Incubus paid $400 for 2nd row seats(BBB) and they ended up being front. After that it was hard to sit anywhere else.... Do it....you won't regret it http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa95/kennyviper2/incubus.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa95/kennyviper2/DSCN1774-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennb2112 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 buy them you will be sitting next to me!!! i know you want to! the price is all relative...some get hotel rooms, drink way too much, buy shirts, programs ect so $300 for a ticket could be $300 whereas $125 for a ticket could be $400. i do have a 7th row seat for sale....$125 if that helps you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstTourWasIn84 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 First off, anyone who looks at what something costs the owner, and uses that as the basis for what they should pay, is clueless. Cost to the current owner is irrelevant and has nothing to do with value. To answer your question: I have a friend who's brother was killed in Iraq 90 days after his first child was born. He never got to hold his daughter. I had two friends in High School blow their brains out before they were 16 years old. They missed out on an entire lifetime. I once knew a guy who had $50 million dollars in the bank and drove a $1200 car. He was the cheapest son-of-a-bitch I have ever met in my life. He died at age 49 and his daughter got all his money to piss away for herself. I have a family member who was given 6-8 weeks to live, 11 weeks ago. She went on trips, visited other countries, and has nothing unfinished. What does all this have to do with you buying tickets? We're all going to die one day. The only question is how do you want to go out? $300 is more than likely a fraction of what you will waste in your time trying to get laid this summer. Would you rather remember all the time wasted on women, or 2 1/2 hours of pure extasy? I'm actually even surprised you had to post that question. So far this tour I've spent over $4 grand on tickets to 7 shows. My worst seats are 5th row dead center in Red Rocks, a few are front & center. I assure you that I make less money than probably 70% of the folks on this board. I can afford it because I don't waste my money on the things a lot of other people piss away all the time. $300 is what most people piss away going to Starbucks, or wasting their money taking girls out to dinner, or buying chicks drinks, or whatever... Bottom line: $300 for 2nd row? Why are those tickets even still available for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are those tickets even still available for sale? thanks for the insight. my dilemma, is that I'm worried, by time my income tax returns come in, the tickets will be gone, and everyone I know with a credit card won't order me the damn tickets even though they know I'm 100% good for the money. I just hope they are still there by time my check arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
