How much money you would pay, tops to see NO live?

1 would pay no more than 75$ canadian. I saw the price of Chicago and it ran at 100 US or more. Thats insane. Oh well gotta pay the people.

I think I paid something like 400$ per show to see them.

And I didn't pay my ticket in Chicago.

So it's really up to you, I've been waiting 13 years to see them live again, so I was ready to do this commitment.

And I believe it was worth it..

Let's see. My ticket for Hammerstein was $47.50 usd, plus Ticketmonster fees. My flight was $150 RT. The A train from JFK to Manhattan was $14 RT. My shitty hotel room was $200 plus tax.
My cocktail bill approached $100.

That's over $500 usd combined.

But that 100 minutes of memory will outlive any material object I can think of.

I would pay hundreds of dollars to see them again, if I had to. I very well might in order to see them in Europe this summer.

Based on the experience I had at the NYC, I would have paid $400 easy to relive it.

"Too much" is when you can't afford to get any food having been stranded on the side of the road unable to hitch a lift. It varies from age to age, decade to decade. These days there is no limit provided you can still afford to get home!

but Jarvo...was it worth it???

I can't say for sure how much I would pay...I mean, the weekend in Oakland set me back around $500...but I could afford it...and it's worth it for me...

even if I didn't get to have breakfast with Barney...

What's the closing line in the Footie Factory after Tommy Johnson gets a right royal kicking for Chelski down at Millwall?!

"Was it worth it? ... Course it fcuking was!"

Hey Mr Jarvis - how come I haven't seen your "Vikings" flag on any of the many photos reproduced on here from the U.S. dates? I hope I'm not going to be the only "daft-cunt-with-a-flag" in Barcelona/London/Brittany...???!!

It's on one of Mike's shots, but that was in the pub in Chicago! Took it to Oakland, but was too wrapped up in the moment to unveil it. Would've been fairly pointless in Coachella - we were getting moaned at for being 'too tall' as it was, without unveiling a 6ft wide flag above our heads. Made a brief appearance during Temptation and the encores in Chicago, but didn't bother taking it to New York. More hassle than it's worth over there.

I ended up spending about 1K (I stayed in NYC til sunday) and it was worth every damn cent. I would have spent 1k on the ticket. I had waited forever to see them (15 years).
