Random question about concert tickets

Angelick Witch · #1 05-21-2006, 04:29 PM

In an interesting deviation from sanity, our Maths teacher is getting us to do a project costing absolutely anything, so, for the laugh, I'm doing Going To A Fleetwood Mac Concert. So, could someone tell me how much really good, like, front row, tickets were to, say, the Say You Will tour or that? In my theoretical situation, Fleetwood Mac are touring the US again and myself and a friend (hi, Sahara!

) are going to a concert in Boston, if it makes any difference.

Thank you!!

Hmm...well the ticket price, as set by ticketmaster, was around $132.50 (from what I recall) but I actually paid $350 for it.

So would you say $350 is more probable?

Thanks very much anyway!

My husband and I bought tickets the day of the show and ended up front row, paying $125. There were people there who had paid upwards of $500. So, I'd go with the $350 price.

Alright, cool. Thanks very much!! Now I just hope I get to go to one someday...!

So, the total cost would be €1624, for the two of us to go, from Ireland, with flights and accomodation and all. That does include €200 Fleetwood Macy spending money!

Oh heck yeah...you have like next to no probability of getting front rows from Ticket Master...you'll have to get them from a broker of some kind. You'll spend between $500-$800 for front row pair of Mac tickets I would say.

that depends on your scenario: are you buying tickets at face value through the ticket outlet (or the box office) or buying them jacked up well above face value from a broker?

I've been lucky. I've never had to go through a broker.
