well technically i spent nothing yet, but my friend bought me a ticket for 1 show and im gettin tickets to the other 3, probably scalping. so 4 tickets, and no where near $500... what are you buying?
In July 2007 Densmore said that he would not rejoin The Doors unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore says, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."

lets see.... 4 shows =8 10c tix = 4 pre sale posters
haha, only going to one show so $490ish here. We do suck as fans!
Wait a second.... you're only going to ONE and spending that much? I just added up the money I spent on tickets to 3 shows and the poster I bought last night... What else were you including?
yeah I got tickets for all 4 shows, and two extra for Friday for my family. I also got all 4 posters and staying in the city for two nights. To party with the fans on Friday and Saturday!!

Sixteen tickets, three nights in a hotel (Tuesday, Friday, Saturday nights, driving home after the Wednesday show so kids can get to Thursday activities).
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
about $1800. :shock: so far...plus spending money for food/booze/posters/t-shirts/weed/a few new outfits/new Jordan's.....damn....let's just skip Christmas this year!

Airfare- $200, hotel- $120, tickets- $167. I don't have a room yet, but I figured I'd be spending that much, right? And I don't have anyone going with me yet so I paid for both tickets at this point. I bought them off another 10c member, so I can't get in on the poster presale :( But these guys are worth every penny!
Threads like this make me sad; I prefer not to add these kinds of numbers together. It's easier just to think "I spent ~$85 on a ticket for a show" and leave it at that.
4 shows is about $660, 4 posters is about $140 (buying one at the venue)... up to $800... a night in a hotel... $150 ($950)... i think I'm going to be sick.

Ahh gotcha, didn't consider that you might be from out of town...

And you would think that with your avatar I woulda noticed you were from Philly. And I'm not even blonde!

I calculate about $670 for 4 sets of 10c tickets, and then we spent around $430 on our 5-night hotel reservation.
We will be pre-ordering posters as soon as my bonus check hits the bank, so there's another $150.
That puts us at around $1250. That was my entire bonus check for the month of August, our busiest month that we've had/will have all year. Fortunately I will be able to use vacation days for the shows, so I won't be losing even more money come the end of October!
2 nights of tickets, plus 2 nights discount rate hotel. We'll use the subway when we get there and park in non-hotel (cheaper) parking. And bring some of our own food. To see a lot of shows you have to do each trip as econo as possible. I don't like to spend a lot on the living expense side of going to shows when I can help it.

That's not a bad idea either!
