I have spent alot of money on many many travels from here and there to see The Backstreet Boys. The most I have ever spent on BSB tickets is $500 for 2 tickets. Yes, crazy, but well worth it. I am blessed to have a wonderful mother, who is also a Backstreet fanatic. I am 16 and it becomes very expensive to be a Backstreet fan and get to see the boys. I have made many trips to see the Boys...I live in Greensboro,NC and have traveled to Tampa, Orlando, Atlanta,Chicago,and Charlotte(where I have lived my entire live up until now). I have travled to see them in concert and even had my dream come true to get to meet them and spend an hour with them! I will be traveling to Charlotte and Raliegh again to see the boys in Feb. I am also blessed to have gotten to go to one BSB concert for free. I have also even gone to Orlando to see Aaron Carter perform and have traveld to Charlotte and Raliegh to see Aaron also. This Jan. I will be traveling to Orlando again to see A.J. in his performance. All of this as you can imangine is very expensie..the traveling,gas, hotel rooms, tickets,eating out, etc. It is all worth it and I am blessed to be able to do so many things, but to get to see the Boys you put out a lot of money. It is well spent, but not cheap. I have only had to buy scalped tickets for two concerts, but it is crazy that the real and true BSB fans out there can't get tickets! I am so happy that I can do all of this and what even makes it better is that The Backstreet Boys do care and I know they are thankful for everything the fans have done for them.

We didn't get tickets to our hometown (Phoenix) concert so we bought tickets to the first show in Vegas for our whole family (5 PEOPLE!). They cost $425 plus since we had to travel we had our hotel expense etc...Plus we could not resist the concert merchandise and spent $200 on the cool stuff they had at the show!!! It was easily over $1,000 and well worth it!!! It was the best concert I've EVER been to-it was so much fun!!!

Although I have not paid thousands of dollars for tickets, I have paid what I believe is a lot of money. Actually, I myself did not pay for them, my parents and my grandparents did. The first was in Carlotte, North Carolina (the state in
which I live) September 17th, 7:30 p.m., no opening act, did the wAvE, Section 117, Row H. (just a little obsessed, I know!)
My mother paid the face value for 4 tickets, $172, at the ticketmaster near us at 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 14th, 1999, as an
early birthday present. My birthday being August 20th.
Although, I believe that you can't name a price for Backstreet Boys ticketst, thats what the face value was! This BSB
concert, my first concert ever, was the most wonderful experience of my life (I'm only 13, hello!). I was about 50 feet away from the men
I adored and I was screaming my head off like the rest of the girls in the Charlotte Coliseum. I'm guessing that the
screaming when the Boys appeared was higher than any decibel level ever recorded!
Anyways, the second concert I went to, while visiting an Aunt in California, was October 15th at Anaheim Pond. This
one I don't remember the section, but it was Row K and right next to where the boys came out. Side note: One of
the boys kept running out into the black walkway with a towel over his head, most likely Nick, just to make a lot of
commotion. THATS OUR BOY!!! :) Or maybe just a stage hand trying to be funny. > Anyways, we bought our tickets
for this show off of eBay for $257.50 plus S/H. My grandparents paid for these tickets (4). Again, another wonderful
experience. My grandmother attended the concert with us. Being a good sport, she didn't wear earplugs, she likes some of their music!
The first concert (being the opening show of the Into The Millennium tour) may have been more energized
since the guys were hyped up for it...because the Anaheim show looked as if the boys had been tired out just a little. But
they never fail to please me, I was happy anyway!! I'm glad they are getting this nice long break over the holidays, and
wish them all well.
I am going to the concert in Charlotte on February 17th...Section 126, Row B. If anyone knows where the Boys are staying,
how to get backstage passes, or how to take great concert pictures, or of course anyone else who's going to the Charlotte show
please feel free to email me!! I check it very often and will reply immediately.
I love getting email from fellow Backstreet Pride-Holders! :) So see ya later!!! And Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive, I know I am!

Not much of a story really I went to 7 BSB concerts and spent about 6000.00 on tickets,hotel rooms, food,gas,and airplane tickets. I had a blast and would do it again ( and working on getting tickets for the next tour) The most I spent for 2 tickets was 700.00. I had great seats to all of the concerts. Front row to one, 4th row floor to 2 ,and some lower level to others. The guys are amazing!!!! The show is Amazing !!! I love them !!

I paid almost $40 for one ticket for my show and had the worst seats possible (im just glad I went though!!!) I guess I'd pay about $100 at the most for tickets on the floor. Even though it's BSB I don't think I would pay more than that for tickets. Why pay a bundle for tickets when you can just wait till they come back and pay even less? But being the obsessed fan I am, if I had the money to pay $500 a ticket , I would. But I don't.

I've known a lot of obsessed fans in my life and believe me I don't fall far behind. But it is my friend Brenda in which she payed a ticket broker 745 dollars, that's right 7 benjamins, two 20's and a five from her sister. WE later saw them that month at the Tacoma Dome and had a great show! I mean WE as in me and her sister. It turns out Brenda got sick with the flu and had to miss the concert. She gave me the tickets and so there I went, guilty as ever with her sister to the concert. Front row, all access, it was the best birthday present of my life and the far most expensive! Thanks Brenda!

Sure the Backstreet Boys are pretty awesome but they're just a band. I'd say $ 300 dollars tops ( which is $297.56 more than I have right now!) I could go see a band like 98 degrees for 30 bucks and it would basically be the same experience. So $ 300 bucks for some awesome floor seats is my limit.
