Just curious...and please, no patronizing those who have purchased from scalpers, Stub Hub, etc (I know so many around here get their panties in a bunch about that sort of thing )
$250 for Borgata nights one and two. Front and center.
Best $500 ever spent.
I bet...then again, it is pearl jam, so I'm guessing that (at least after the fact) that is what anyone would say, no matter what the price was Myself included!

$1,000 for a ticket to the PJ/Robert Plant Katrina Benefit show at House of Blues in Chicago
Got to the venue an hour before doors opened and crossed my fingers in hopes my credit card didn't decline.
NICE!!! would have loved to see that.
the most ive spent i think is somewhere are around 300 for a pair, plus trading in the two tickets i had, so about 450/pair for Seattle Night 2 2002, sat in front of stones family on his side really close and Ed smashed the blue guitar and they used that for the cover of Live at the Garden DVD. Great show of course, also a shock to get something AFTER Yellow Ledbetter! Worth Every Penny!!!

$275 to sit in the balcony last year.. damn near thought I was going to fall on stage, that venue was built straight up and the balcony was shaking so bad.
The whole night seems really surreal..

Never paid over face value (plus charges) for any ticket. But, i have given the seller some extra cash... above covering their costs, just because they were nice enough to offer it to me without looking for a profit.
The cheapest I paid was zero for Pearl Jam at the Henry Fonda... and the Conan O'Brien Show.
...
I guess the only time i can say I paid over face value was 50 bucks for a Red Hot Chili Peppers/Foo Fighters Halloween party. Tickets were only available by invitation or contest winner from KROQ and via Del Taco(KROQ sticker backing). So, the cost to the contest winners/concert goers was zero... which is a tough negotiation. I figured that 25 bucks per band was a good price and found a seller willing to go for it. The scalpers were asking 200.
Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
Hail, Hail!!!
Most I ever paid was $120 and it was for a 5th row seat at the VFC show in Reading PA. I had tix on the floor and needed a good seat for the driver or we wouldn't have had a ride to the show.
Most money I ever passed up for my ticket. $700 for my Irving Plaza ticket. There was no way I wasn't seeing that show, (never regretted that decision).
500.00 (donation) for no vote left behind at the showbox. of course I got to see a bunch of other bands and got into a bunch of other events for that price. and even though it was for nought, 500.00 for a chance to help oust George Bush was well worth it!
Face value every time, which was probably 20 times. However, this time around I will be forced to pay over because I cannot find a ticket at face value for the Philly shows. Oh well, I hate to support greedy people who swallow up all the tickets and sell them for huge profits to the fans that want to see the band. I have some friends that will not be able to attend shows because they lack the funds. That is shitty! The sad thing is that Pearl Jam doesn't make close to the profit per ticket that these scalpers are selling them for. It boggles my mind. This is how you get those obnoxious drunks at the shows who need to be wasted to have a good time rather than the many fans I have met over the years that control themselves and represent the true Pearl Jam fan. Thats just my opinion though.
The most money I've spent for tickets to any concert was for VIP tickets to Bonnaroo 2008. My 4th time at Bonnaroo and 42nd PJ event. I got a spot at the 2nd rail behind the pit for that entire day. This was a great spot to see Pearl Jam and the preceding acts (B.B. King and Jack Johnson) and I had some shade from the barrier when sitting down for a rest between performances.
After that, the most I've spent for tickets to see Pearl Jam was for the upcoming shows at the Spectrum.
$250 for Borgata nights one and two. Front and center.
Best $500 ever spent.
about the same for me. 250 on borgata night 2. if you were front and center i was probably right behind you. i thought i was crazy spending that much before the show happened. afterwards i was so glad i did.

Since it was a benefit show it included a poster, Free drinks & Appetizers at a little CCFA pre-party with Mike.
Ended up being like Row 7 I think.
