    8 shows over 24-25.  Four round trip flights.  9 hotel nights and 3 at airbnb.  Posters, jacket, sweatshirt, license plate, stickers, pins at shows.
    Food, drinks, tips and souvenirs.  Ubers, cabs, busses and trams.  Another $850 just to re=book 2 missed flights.
    Holy Shit, I think I'm in around 10k.  Good thing I sold my Ohana tix last year, haha.

    Maybe the real treasure was the money we spent along the way.

    Good thread to keep in the back pocket when people complain about ticket costs next tour!

    I'm too afraid to do the math.
    Spring tour:  
    Four shows, face value tickets 800$
    Hotels ~1400$
    Gas ~200
    Merch ~500 (including items I'm gifting friends)
    I have no clue how much I spent on food, but maybe 500$?

    What am I missing?

    I saw 11 shows
    The tickets cost me around 6k. (I bought premium seats for my kids to three shows)
    I spent at least 2k+ on merch
    I spent close to 6k in travel to Florida, Boston, and Raleigh.
    I’d say a close estimate for me is probably $15,000.00
    No regrets. Not one bad show. Time of my life with my kids, my friends, and myself.

    Seriously- ticket costs are generally the least of my expenses!

    I went to NZ and Australia shows as well as US.. so... not gonna add it up. But I will say my total cost for airfare to NZ.. between NZ/OZ.. around OZ.. and home was only $600 using miles .. even stopped in Hawaii to see a friend on way home.

    I actually got a free hotel in Pittsburgh which was nice. While we were on our way, I got a call from my hotel saying they overbooked so they put us up in a different hotel for free. So this was one of my cheapest PJ excursions.
