Since the PJ Platinum tickets seem to be a hot topic....Figured a poll would be in order.

    Pretty sure Pearl Jam tix are the most i've spent on tickets. Though i may have paid more for one of the NKOTB tours for my wife. (we had/have very different 90's music tastes, lol)

    Festivals are the thing that have cost me $$$$ and that was 10-20 years ago.   Can’t imagine paying for a festival pass today

    So mine comes with a wild caveat.  Robert Plant & Alison Kraus this June.  But we had tickets to see To Kill a Mockingbird on broadway in December.  It got postponed due to covid the Stub Hub policy was a credit + 20%, so the 3 broadway tickets became 2 Plant & Krauss, reserved, about 15th row.

    So I don't know that I would have spent that much if not having to use the credit.

    $1700 for Desert Trip VIP Pit. Neil Young, Paul McCartney, The Who, Roger Waters, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan. 100% worth it. 

    For a single show? Probably Springsteen on Broadway. I think I spent $700 for that.

    The most I ever spent was for really good McCartney seats, and it was totally worth it.

    160 dollars for Neil Young on the Greendale acoustic tour (Second hand market)
    My brother by pure luck got a random ticket on the day of the show that for some reason was available, for the ordinary price. Which was 60-70 dollars maybe.

    Maybe Pearl Jam in Philadelphia in 2013 in the VIP section was more expensive, but I think it was cheaper...

    The Rolling Stones a few years ago, and an upcoming Who concert in May. I have seen the Who many times, but thought it was time I splurged on a good floor seat a few rows back from the stage.

    Face Value it would be $101-150.  But I did buy a Benaroya Hall single ticket for $225 back in the day...  Seemed insane in 2003 but I'm so glad I did it.

    $500 for a great seat to see Tool at the Orpheum in 2006. They did a 4 city theater tour before 10,000 Days came out. Was not going to miss them in a room that size.

    I would pay well in excess of that to see Waters, Gilmour, and Mason play together again but that ain't gonna happen

    I went with face value, which i think was the 2018 Fenway shows, which show in my profile as $247 for the pair, so $123.50 each? Pretty close to Nashville/St Louis on this tour.

    Pretty sure we've paid more on secondary market. I want to say we spent about $200+ each for Fenway 1 in 2016 (partner bought them), and around $150 each for 2nd row to Janelle Monae in 2018.

    ACL Festival & Ohana were in this price range.

    One band---whatever PJ tickets are, that's the most I've paid to see one band.
