Tickets for U2’s 2005 tour were often priced above $150. Paul McCartney’s top ticket price for his 2005 tour was north of $200, and the Eagles often charge in the neighborhood of $150 or more for concert goers wanting suites at the Hotel California.

And who could ever forget Barbra Streisand’s $2,500 ticket for ringing in New Year 2000 in Vegas?

Now it’s your turn. What’s the most you’ve ever paid for concert tickets? Have you ever passed on your favorite group or band because tickets were just too expensive? Furthermore, what do you think is a reasonable price for arena-level acts, theatre shows and nightclub appearances?

So, go ahead. Sound off with your two cents about ticket prices. It won’t cost you anything to speak your mind.  That’s probably the best deal you’ll get all day!
