The tickets are too darn high. I am a college student, and I was planning to go see them in Atlanta until I realized the ticket prices. If I pay $130.00 for tickets, then I better go out on a date with each and every one of them. Those prices are ridiculous. I can go buy me a whole outfit or pay some bills or buy me a book for one of my classes with those ticket prices. I heard that the country is in a recession, so there will be some inflation. That makes since about the ticket prices being so high because of the recession. More power to you BSB fans that are willing to spend that much money on them. How much are Nsync tickets??? I am kidding. Don't send me any hatemail or anything. Have fun at the concert. I already went in January and I had very good seats for only $66.00.

I mean come on, grow up. Say what you want to me, but it makes no difference I don't care. I just wish everyone could get along. My view on the ticket prices is that yes they're kind of high and as a full time student who has toooons of bills to pay they're high. But still I made do and got some money together and bought a ticket. Really though it shouldn't matter everyone is a fan and no-one should be claiming that if you don't buy a ticket (that some people can't afford) that you're less of a fan than others, because that's just not true. We're all fans here. Well, thats about it. Submitted by Shantel Bias from Chicago Illinois USA Date: Thu Apr 26 00:11:43 2001 Ticket prices are definately high. I'm a student and I need every dollar that I can get my hands on. I'm a hardcore fan so I pulled out my charge card and purchased tickets, but it was a serious grip. I wonder if the guys know how high the ticket prices have gotten. I just can't imagine them approving of prices that many of their fans can't afford. What exactly are the prices covering anyway? How expensive are these venues? Well I know that the guys will put on an excellent show--that makes spending the money a little easier, but c'mon AJ Brian Kevin Howie and Nick, $100 per ticket is a little steep! Submitted by Kailie Asam from Rochester Hills Michigan USA Date: Wed Apr 25 22:28:46 2001 I think the ticket prices suck, cuz they are real expensive for all us teenagers out here! A bunch of my friends can't go to the concert this summer, because they don't have the money. Me, being the hardcore fan that I am, has no problem doing whatever I have to, to save up money to go to the concert. I wouldn't miss a concert for anything! This summer is my fourth concert, and I would pay ANYTHING for good seats! So personally, I don't like the prices, but they would never hold me back from seeing the beautiful Backstreet Boys! KTBSPA! Submitted by Shelley Burton from Goulds Newfoundland Canada Date: Wed Apr 25 18:03:40 2001 Man!!!!!!! i can't wait to see BSB and Shaggy in concert!!!!!!! I got two front row floor seats. I paid alot of money for the both of them. they were $148.15 each. altogether i paid $321.25 for two tickets.. well i guess it was worth it. BSB and Shaggy are very good singers.. i can't wait to go.. the concert is in toronto on july 29, 2001. I CAN'T WAIT...... MY DREAM IS COMMING TRUE.. I AM GONNA SEE THE #1 BAND IN THE WORLD... Submitted by Dana from CorpusChristy!! Texas USA Date: Wed Apr 25 17:07:37 2001 Hey Y'all!! Does anybody when they will release the tickets in Houston, TX?? Another thing(has nothing to do with tickets), but BSB themselves. Anyone watch TRL today?? Backstreet Boys are #2, yes I said TWO! They were beaten by O-Town. I usually would be a little off by this, but not as much as I am today. I love O-Town, but BSB's first for me, and I am sick of everyone thinking that Backstreet Boys are losing all their fans. Till now our only competition has been NSYNC( who are pretty good), but now O-Town too!! I can't vote on TRL because I don't get home early enough, but y'all PLEASE do! The Call is going to be retired this monday people!! I am also a little sick of Carson preffering NSYNC and everyone else to BSB. So, not only about voting for THE CALL, this monday (I'm going to be home), vote for Backstreet Boys Everybody (Backstreet's back.) I know it's weird to be doing so on their retirement day, but please? We need to thank them, Keep the Backstree Pride alive!! If you're willing to do this, leave a message here. Thanks.

We went through a broker and paid a lot of money. I guess I'll tell, we paid $425 a ticket. This concert is special because August 23 is my 25th birthday! I just had to have excellent seats for my b-day. We had been saving our money, anyway, because we were planning a trip to California, however this fell through. Everyone thinks we are nuts, but I have never been so excited about anything before! The way I see it is that it's my money. I earned it and I can spend it how I like. I'm just being a little tighter with my budget until I recover. Have a blast at the concert. Submitted by kim knight from vallejo cali USA Date: Wed Apr 25 12:50:15 2001 we paid 137.50 !!!!!!! that was for one floor seat tickeit in cali. granted we got them on the internet,and that price included a service charge...that is still al ot of money and i aint the richest gal you ever met...but only for bsb would i spend that much money. san jose was more money then florida and new york... i guess we just got some grade a fans out here... Submitted by Gabby from San Antonio Texas USA Date: Wed Apr 25 11:22:34 2001 Well I paid $84.50 for my ticket and is for the first level not even floor level, I am willing to pay even more if somebody has a ticket for the floor level close to the stage. I am happy with the tickets because I am going to see my two favorite groups Shaggy and BSB, I think that is just a good price. They are the best music groups right now and I can't wait to see them august 30, 2001. Submitted by Lisa from Littleton Colorado USA Date: Wed Apr 25 00:54:28 2001 Ahahaha....I just lost my job, and I paid 91.50 for my ticket! These are first level (not even floor!), and I was bummed out that they were so expensive....but it's definitley worth it!! Besides, it's not the fellas fault that they're sooo expensive! But, did any peeps in Denver get floor seats? I'd be curious to hear how/how much...let me know! Submitted by Ashley from Salem Oregon USA Date: Wed Apr 25 00:51:22 2001 Well, first of all I don't think that just because someone can't pay $125 for tickets, makes them any less of a fan! These concerts should be about the music, and seats for like $30! I know that's unrealistic but that would be nice! I am fortunate to be 18 and have a job to afford my own. I think the tickets are priced WAY too high, and I feel it's unfair that people can't go because of the prices. If I was 13 or 14 years old and had no means of getting my own money, I would not be going, because there is no way my parents would buy them for me! Although a portion of the money goes to charity, it's not much, which is sad. And BSB do get some of the money, but SFX has a lot to do with the prices and they are a HUGE promoter, so they get to choose. Bottom line: Tickets are WAY too expensive and I hope the prices go down so more people can enjoy the shows! Submitted by Anna from CA USA Date: Tue Apr 24 23:41:47 2001 I was shocked to see that the tickets were $124 regularly. I think it's a sick price. I hope it gets lower for the next tour. That didn't stop me from getting them because they can't come to my town without me going. It's just not right. I love them too much. Let's just say i am very greatfull to my parents. Submitted by Lacey from Texas USA Date: Tue Apr 24 21:13:40 2001 Ok as much as I love the boys i can't go to a concert because of the price on tickets. I mean come on some people can't pay $124 dollors. My parents excuse for me not going is the prices. It will probably be that I can't go because I am too obsessed with them but hey I can try if the prices on tickets go down. Submitted by Nicole from Houston Texas USA Date: Tue Apr 24 20:32:24 2001 A.J: I don't think I can say I understand how you feel, but I can imagine it. You're grandmother is with you because I truly believe Heaven is in your heart. I have a quote that I found in the Chicken soup for the soul book that reminded my of this. "Other things may change, but we start and end with our family." Cherish your memories, A.J. Good luck. Love always, a Backstreet fan forever. Submitted by Cara from Curwensville Pennsylvania USA Date: Tue Apr 24 19:50:39 2001 Yeah i love bsb as much as the next girl...but the closet that the tour came to my home was pittsburgh. I got up the morning they went on sale and was shocked when i saw the price. The tickets cost $125 at the post gazette pavilion in Pittsburgh. I was very upset. Where the hell was i supposed to get that kind of money?!?!? I became even more disturbed to find out that tickets were only $70 at the Hershey Stadium. My mom being the amazing women that she is bought me tickets for the hershey show which is 4 hours away. What gets me is why is one place selling them for so much more?? and Is it the arena that is selling tickets for more than $100 or is it the group?? Submitted by Melanie from Canada Date: Tue Apr 24 18:54:05 2001 Well first of all i'd like to say that BSB IS THE BEST!!!!! AND AJ IS HOT!!!!!! And yeah, the tickets might be a bit pricy, but WHO CARES??? ITs the freaking BSB for god sakes!!!! I would pay as much money as i had to, to see them! 200.00 is nothing to be able to have the privilage to see the hottest people on EARTH!!! Just want to say, a true BSB fan would pay ANYHING to see them! Submitted by not your ordanary bsb fan from USA Date: Tue Apr 24 17:58:06 2001 i have noticed that the face value of the tickets has went up. but when we get our tickets, we have specific rows (no further back than the 3rd on the floor) that we want (you know what to expect and what to get again, or try to get, once your really close). you all have no clue what i pay for tickets. i'm rather insane, lol, but the last time i went on 2/4 i was in the sencond row and i will be in the first row, so... it's worth it, that hour and thirty minutes. Submitted by Amanda from USA Date: Tue Apr 24 17:01:43 2001 FUCK ALL U dAMN POOR B*TCHES THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY A MEASLY $300 BUCKS FOR GOOD SEATS AND B*TCHING IT ON HERE!!! FUCKING BLAME THE MESSED UP ECONOMY AND THEIR DAMN FUCKED UP TAX AND PRICES!
