    These cost spans need to go higher. I paid $350 for a Pearl Jam ticket 20 years ago.

    $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.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    That's what the "+" is for. :)

    I paid $275 for a ticket to see Prince in a 2200 seat theater. Best show I have ever been to and he died a year later, so it was well worth it.

    The most I ever spent was for really good McCartney seats, and it was totally worth it.
    Same.  Ended up 5th row too because someone didn't show up.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
