Submitted by sara from california USA Date: Mon Apr 23 13:10:40 2001 let me just say bull crap! bsb are getting money off their tour! they make over a million bucks in one show! y'all trying to tell me they don't get none of that? folks i hate to say it and before i do let me say i love bsb!they're awesome.but guys it don't take a rocket scientist to say that who the hell do they think they are!!!! 120$ for tickets...crappy seats! My fellow fans, we're getting ripped off.BsB has "brain washed" us. They jacked prices up cause they knew their fans would pay for them. c'mon, i begged my parents to let me go.if y'all think i'm crazy and not a true bsb fan, that's your opinion, but let me say this: If we keep buying their tickets it'll go higher and higher!little by little. soon i hope ALL bsb fans see my point, even if they can pay 150$ for a ticket. thank you. ps:if you would like to help me make a petition or something it'd be great! Submitted by Stephanie from GTA Ontario Canada Date: Mon Apr 23 11:25:24 2001 Don't get me wrong, I love the guys as much if not more than the next, but these prices are crazy! For their TO show, my sister and I spent $181 for two tickets. Here's the best part-they're for NOSEBLEED SEATS! What the hell is wrong? Sure, Shaggy will be there as well, but there has to be a line drawn. Someone is making a fortune robbing us of all our money, knowing that we will pay it just to see the Boys one more time! I am not prepared to boycott their shows (did I mention how much I love them???) but we can't just put up with this. Submitted by Kacie from Evans City Pennsylvania USA Date: Sun Apr 22 23:37:57 2001 I should probably be one of the first people to complain about the ticket prices, seeing as I'm going to 7 concerts this summer, but. . .I do believe that these prices do have something to do with Shaggy going on tour with them. Shaggy is a very well known artist as Backstreet is too. So, two for the price of one seemed a little too far fetched for me. I owe my mom over 1400 dollars for this summer and thats not including travel costs. Thank god we're getting free hotel rooms!!! Regardless, I would go to any length to see the guys, even paying 142 dollars per ticket. Submitted by Mary from CA USA Date: Sun Apr 22 22:05:59 2001 I love the Boys to death, but I absolutely think that the ticket prices have gotten way out of hand. I got first level seats for the March 2nd Oakland Arena show for $58.50 + fees. I wanted to see the Boys in their August 13th San Jose show, but the first level tickets now cost $124.75 + fees. Could you believe that? What makes the two venues so different that the prices had to jump close to $70.00? The second level seats are 68.50 + fees. Pretty expensive for seeing a show through binoculars. It's really way too much money even for a nineteen year old like me who work part time. Most BSB fans are young teens. Some are even too young to work yet. Is it really fair to have them ask their parents for $124.75 to go to a concert? This is why I noticed that BSB has sold out only four shows, the first four in Boston. Many people who would love to go can't because they can't afford it.

Submitted by Eileen from Suffield CT USA Date: Sun Apr 22 15:45:03 2001 HI! I wanted to go to at least one of BSB's concert's in Hartford, CT but the prices were raised from $77 to $105! And the lawn seats, the worst ones, were about $50. I know it's not the guys faults, but still! Submitted by Crystal from NC USA Date: Fri Apr 20 18:13:06 2001 Aww, it's so sad to see all of ya talking abouthow you can't afford to go! Tell ya what, why don't you all email me and I'll wire you some cash. Nah, i wish i could help, but hey *maybe* keep trying the radio stations! and online contests, and well don't give up! VOTE FOR MORE THAN THAT ON YOUR RADIOS!!!! Submitted by Vicki from billings mt USA Date: Fri Apr 20 14:29:01 2001 I went to a bsb concert in las vegas and i got 3rd row because my dad had "connections" the tickets were only 150 dollars but we got them for free, bsb r numbur 1 and if i had to pay that i would. but it was really cool getting them 4 free!!! plus even if ya love them about 20 dollars isn't bad even if you get bad seats, at least u can say u were there!!! plus it was my first concert ever!! Submitted by Krissy from Massachusetts USA Date: Fri Apr 20 10:43:37 2001 I lucked out and got floor seats for 2 of the Boston shows. Little tip for y'all: If you decide to stay home and get tix over the 'net, choose "standard mail" as your shipping choice. It's a lot cheaper than the other choices. Plus you get your tickets within a week most times. I paid about $70 each, but was well worth it. I can't believe they added a FIFTH show to Boston. I am convinced someone wants to see me beg my parents for money lol Submitted by Angel from USA Date: Thu Apr 19 23:47:27 2001 You are soooooooo lucky Rachel!!! I can't even go to 1 because of how expensive they are! :*( Submitted by A.J. loves me and will neva love u! from mArS Zimbabwe Date: Thu Apr 19 23:42:34 2001 HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (((((((ME AND NOT U!))))))

Submitted by Rachell from MA USA Date: Thu Apr 19 22:08:52 2001 I think the prices are high. they are doing 5 shows in Boston (yeah they just added the 5th) and I can only go to 1 because of how high the prices are. I would love to go to all 5 but I just can't afford that. Submitted by Crystal from NC USA Date: Thu Apr 19 21:31:14 2001 AMY: Let me clear "THIS SH*T UP"! Yes I know that Napster paid for Limp Bizkit's tour but what i was trying to say (for all the brighter fans out there) was that the FANS didn't have to pay a cent. AND I said BSB was NOT profitting from their tour. Why don't you read the whole thing and get you facts straight?! On a lighter note: I understand that some of you think that it's too expensive to go, but you can't just give up! I'm getting a job to pay for these tickets! Yes! I will be buttering rolls at Golden Corral! If you're that big of a fan, work it off, even if you can only get nosebleeds. ANd if it's jsut you going then it's a better chance that you'll get a good seat! Good luck! From *us* MIDDLE class fans. Submitted by Erin from USA Date: Thu Apr 19 19:59:07 2001 The first time I saw BSB in concert, I was 10th row FROM THE BACK, so it was kinda like 'Is that AJ or Howie?' But it was still awesome! This past time on the Black&Blue tour, I was 3rd row balcony nearest the stage. This time, I bought 2 tickets, it was 93$ each, and so I'm totally broke now, but it was worth it! I got 22 row on the floor. Any fan should save up the money to be able to see them! Its sad that they aren't selling out like the last concert. I mean, the concert I'm going to this time is only like half full! People, you can get the 49$ seats in the back if its a money problem! And if you haven't seen them: the concert is totally awesome! And they make sure to try to visit Everyone they possibly can! So go buy seats so BSB'll sell out! Submitted by Amy from Fla USA Date: Thu Apr 19 19:38:42 2001 Crystal: Actually, NAPSTER paid for Limp bizkets' tour( just wanted to clear sh*t up!), so really it doesn't matter! I mean, really have you guys heard the guys won't even be making a cent on the road? i mean, as sincere guys they are they decided to put forth ALL the money into a great for all ya'll fans to never foget! and remember $$$ isn't everything, except for *us* rich folks lol :) *whooo, Miss Modesty here* Submitted by christina from ON Canada Date: Thu Apr 19 19:23:15 2001 Willow- i agree with ya. when i first saw bsb it was $27. now holy crap, my tix were $120. eek, but i paid it because i love bsb more than anything. some people will go just to be there, andi am one of them, i will have the worst seat in the stadium, i don't care, as long as i can hear their beautiful voices. Submitted by Willow B. from Monroe Mi USA Date: Thu Apr 19 17:02:47 2001 It is sad that some fans have to miss out because ticket prices are so high. I don't understand this. They (the BSB team) know they can do it though, so they're going to. That's another great reason for being a MAJOR fan-- Those of us who's been there from the BEGINNING got to see them for only 18 or 20 bucks!! This will be my ninth concert for them & I've paid anywhere from 250.00 for 5th row to being snuck in for free!! You just gotta 'roll with it'! I'm proud to say that I have "nose bleed" seats this time though!! Because at least I'll BE there. I do agree that ticket prices for the 2nd time around for this tour shocked me at first, but if you wanna go, either start picking up parking lot change or get a couple jobs!! Remember-- there's usually cheaper seats available & YOU'LL take them too "just to be there"!!! ENJOY. Submitted by Shauna from seattle wa USA Date: Thu Apr 19 01:59:48 2001 Yes I love bsb more than anything but they do charge waaayyy to much to get good seats. I had to pay $100 each last year and $350 a ticket this year and I think that is outrageous. My mom only pays it because she knows I love them so much. I mean i have more than 3,000 pics and everything else imaginable. I have done some crazy stuff it goes to prove my love for them. But all in all the tickets are way to much! KATBSPA Miss BSB FaNaTiC... spreading the backstreet pride worldwide! Submitted by Lin Shwang from China Date: Wed Apr 18 22:57:43 2001 Hi evrybody, I think the tiket price is to much. I can not aford to pay that price for a tiket. They shold jost stand on stage and sing. They do not need all the fancy stuf. I jost want to see them performe.
