In 1989 I paid £80 quid for a cup final ticket. Liv v Everton. Looking back I have no idea why

I paid 50p to see the Piranhas in the Alhambra. I might pay up to a pound to see someone decent these days but I ain't lining their pockets.
Pics?

Paid £100 for Kate Bush last year, was worth it.
Most I paid a tout was £25 for the Ramones at the Town & Country Club, back when £25 was a lot of money and not the price of a round.

Who would know ? Jock barred just about everyone from there.
I recently paid €198 for a U2 ticket. I've seen the stones a few times and they always come at a premium but I can't recall exactly how much.

450 for 2 Chili Peppers tickets plus 200 for a car to take us there and back from Brighton. I'd promised the girlfriend but had to but them off Any Ticket which was always a rip off. I suppose they had just released By The Way and were in demand. I wouldn't pay a quid to see them these days and they were right off form as well, no high jinks inbetween songs , just on, performed the album almost by the track list, couple of old ones, a long rambling cover of so a funk track and they offed. It was at the long closed Docklands Arena which was a shockingly bad venue.
Expensive, shit night that was topped a week later when the bitch dumped me when she found out how much the car and tickets cost as she thought it was too big a gesture. That was after her begging for tickets. We'd been together 2 years so I don't think it was the gig, I think it was my tiny cock and balls.

£ 116 per ticket last time I saw them at the O2 about 3 years ago. Always worth it in my opinion.

Ooh, yes I did pay 300 for a single Tom Waits ticket. Sat behind Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton. Must be over a decade ago now, I'll look for the stub later. Unbelievable night and no girlfriend. Perfect.

lol !
This. Seen them 4 times and they always put on a fantastic show; real entertainers with an enviable back catalogue to pull from.

It was before she was my girlfriend. I've seen the pics and I can assure you she doesn't dress like that now. Not on my watch.

Memory not so good now but as it was just after Let's Dance it would have been based around that

You had me panicked then! I keep meaning to buy tickets to see The Elephant Man and thought I had missed my chance but there still seems to be plenty of tickets left.
