Blues fan? That must of been a tough sixth game to watch but worth it for game seven.
After fees, $184 to see Aerosmith @ Fenway this year. Don't believe I have paid over $200 for anything yet....

For anyone wondering why ticket prices get so high, people like this is why, lol.
Guns N Roses Not In Your Lifetime tour. My wife is VERY short, so I joined the fan club to get access to lower bowl, row 1, at our local stadium. the tickets themselves were over $300 each if I recall correctly. it was a fortune to spend on a show for us, but she loved every single second of it, and there was zero chance of someone taller than her blocking her view. no regrets.
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.
I paid $250 for my Benaroya Hall single. 2nd row dead centre lower balcony. The YouthCare kids were seated in the front row just in front of me. I believe a few dozen fans lined up for the $50 tickets released just before showtime and I was there early enough that I could have joined the line but I think they were let in after a few songs.
No regrets.

I've got one of those as well. Always have to consider her view when getting tix to shows she will attend with me. So happens we also had first row of lowers in section closest to stage for GnR at Gillette back in 2016. Also had my then 12 year old son with us. But I was lucky price wise, they added a 2nd show and demand wasn't there, so prices were lower than for night 1, paid a reasonable price for the tix (think it was about $125 each or so)
I bought Plat. tickets for one of the Seattle shows for $550 a pop, which kind of sucked because it was row GG, and plat tickets only got better and closer as the show approached. We did buy the other night at face value, so in my head I average it together.
Runner Ups:
1) Rolling Stones Seattle 2019: 450usd I think they were. First section in front of the stage about 4 rows up. The only section more expensive was the put. I wish I spring the extra $100 for the pit because I saw Matt Cameron in the pit. Would of been worth $100 to meet him
I think that's about it. I think we paid 200cdn for Paul Mcartney tix a few years ago, but they were on the 2nd level. Good tickets were way more expensive.
This thread made me realize I spend a lot more than I should on tickets, but at least most of the higher-tier shows were fests, charity events or Platinum shows.
Being a complete noob and wanting to see this band for the first time, I paid a little over $600 for a field seat at Wrigley night 2 - 2018. I did make a damn good investment that year so I used some profits from that for the ticket.

Yes, game 6 really was deflating -- half the city was downtown poised for a celebration. But that's the kind of series it was, road team won most of the games. Was awesome to see them hoist the Cup in Boston after 50 years of futility
350 for GA on stubhub for U2 on the Joshua Tree 30th tour in Seattle. Kinda kick myself for paying that much, but came from out of town and wanted to make sure I secured a ticket. Prices dropped dramatically the few days leading up to the show. Had a blast though and Eddie showed up for a song.
Mine was Leonard Cohen in 2012. Just a little over $200 per ticket. Best part was 3 songs in realized from the balcony that there was 2 empty seats in second row so wife and I calmly walked down and asked usher if we could go to our seats. She told us to wait til song was over and that’s where we spent rest of the nite. No one ever looked at our tickets or anything. No harm no foul
Just over $300 for the Stones last year. First time I've seen them and I was blown away. Of course, the pandemic delay did remove a lot of the sting of the price tag!

$175 I believe that’s the most I’ve ever paid for a concert ticket!

Ha, if that's included, then I've spent nearly $4000 for one show, LOL.
