Hell yeah!!!!! If I was to go to their concert I would at least pay around $55-$60 for at least 3rd row seats. I know that I may sound cheap but hey what else can I say ? Submitted by Kristy from over the rainbow USA Date: Thu Sep 6 21:28:37 2001 The prices are high compared to other shows but it is totally worth it. We payed 80 and got the worst seats i swear, but then we got some guy to upgrade our tickets so we were happy! ;) Submitted by BsBLuVaH from i love bsb i love bsb Canada Date: Sun Sep 2 18:03:48 2001 yeah i guess it's pretty high but it doesnt bother me at all! and plus, half the ticket money goes to their charity! kevin said that at the 2nd leg B&B tour in Dallas! i was watching it on the internet! and kevin said that "half ur tickets tonight goes to charity" :) which i think is sucha nice thing to do! :) im glad they do that....and since they give half to the charities....then it wouldnt matter if the ticket prizes r kinda high right?!?! and come on its the backstreet boys!! :) KTBSPA!!! nsync SUCKS -BsBLuVaH- Submitted by Andrea from Wittlich Rheinland-Pfalz Germany Date: Sat Sep 1 15:46:41 2001 I think the ticket prices ARE too high....but I`d pay every price to see those boys...I love them!! andrea Submitted by Julie from Louisville KY USA Date: Thu Aug 23 18:16:55 2001 FLOOR SEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got 2 floor seats for this SAT. (8/25) in cincy! I am selling them $180 Total- they are worth $217! This is no joke! But there is a catch- I need to sell them TONIGHT, preferebly within the next hour or so. And, I'd love for the buyer to be able to meet me somewhere in Louisville. My email address is Julzm1231@cs.com and my aim is Julzm1231 if you wanna talk about it. I've got pics of them. I AM SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Submitted by Lisa from PA USA Date: Fri Aug 10 14:49:11 2001 Hey everyone. BSB tickets are kinda expensive for this leg of the tour. I payed $70 for tics in Febuary and I had the best seats you could get without being front row. For the second part of the tour I got tics for the same area but they cost $125..But it is OK I would pay ne thing to see those hot men! Submitted by ME from Sactown CA USA Date: Sun Aug 5 00:53:58 2001 That's an easy one... Hell yeah are they overpriced. I spent $150 on a single tix for the first leg tour and now I can bearly remember them perform. They just had to push the price tag even higher this time. Submitted by kelli from USA Date: Thu Aug 2 21:27:36 2001 The tickets are higher priced because of having a special guest,Shaggy, otherwise the good seats would probably be about $60-$80 like before. Not that BSB aren't worth all the money,but that's why. Submitted by Becca from MI USA Date: Thu Aug 2 09:10:54 2001 I think some of them are but since u are seeingbsb every penny is worth it Submitted by Ally from Tampa Florida USA Date: Sat Jul 28 22:17:16 2001 I think tickets here are way to high there 130 dollars for good seats thats crazy this is the first concert that theve had in tampa that i missed because my mom said the tickets were priced to high. Submitted by Becky from Kent Washington USA Date: Thu Jul 19 22:35:47 2001 I don't think tickets are too expensive. At least here in Washington. For the concert in Feburary I payed $265 for 4 tix. Of coarse I was in Row 25 Section 1A. But still thats pretty good. Then in May when I bought tickets for the Aug. 9th show I payed $206 for 3 tix in the 29th row on the floor. But thats just what I think. Other peolpe may think differently. So yeah... I don't think ticket prices are too high.:-) Submitted by Katie Carter from Pittsburgh PA USA Date: Wed Jul 18 02:05:23 2001 My Mom spent $500.00 on 4 tickets. They were 125.00 a piece..around that I may not be exact. I was in the 7th row though! But everyone in seats payed that much. Now the seats for Philly's concert were only 80.00 a ticket. How can one place be so much and another be less? I spent 65.00 for tickets last time and I was a million miles away and up in the sky. Now the guys put on a GREAT show and I will go either way...But I think more people will go if tickets were not so much! Submitted by Tonya from Riverside California USA Date: Fri Jul 13 01:42:43 2001 yeah tickets are waaaaayyyyyy too much this time! i can't go becuz they are soo high:'( it's mucho pooey! soo yeah it's way too much.... for 2 tickets 2 the show i want 2 go 2 it's 300 bucks!!! i know it's a great show and all but that's a tad too much! Submitted by Miss H from Beverly Cali USA Date: Thu Jul 12 20:45:47 2001 They're only too high if you are a poor bitch. Nah they seem cheap to me, I only paid $500 for front row tix and I had the best night of my life. My parents spend more on stupid shit like Barbara Streisand and Classical. Plus $500 goes like in 3 days so might as well spend it on one day and have a damn good time. Submitted by Mimi from USA Date: Wed Jul 11 17:09:24 2001 WOW! i wrote a lot!!! Submitted by Mimi from West Seneca New York USA Date: Wed Jul 11 17:07:45 2001 Yes the prices are high, but when i found out that i would have to pay $100 to see bsb on july 14th 2001 (now sept 18th 2001) i didn't even flinch. i was determined to see the boys again and if that was the price i had to pay then i'd gladly pay it. Now i've had a few "friends" tell me that this is them being greedy.. but it is not. i am they have 2 openers so they gotta make some cash plus i recently found out that the ticket price includes donations to their foundations (YEAH! i;ve been wanting to donate... guess i already did and didn't even know it... don't worry i still have every intention of actually donating). also it is to cover the cost for the show --which is amazing from what i've heard and seen. so if you want to see the boys and have a great time then no it is not to high. i guess if you are only a somewhat fan you dont' want to pay $69.50 for semi okay seats and you wouldn't pay $38.50 to see them from 300 hundred level (or at my arena anywayz) level end zone either. to them it may be to high. i guess if you are a poor bsb fan dying to go to a concert it is unfair... but be on the lookout for breaks that can get you there for free! i got my friend a ticket to the show as a graduation present, and her seat is almost as good as ours. You do not know how happy i was to get that seat. we were so not near the front of the line. but we lucked out and got great seats. and if you are willing to pay $100 that is what you will get since $100 seats are only the 1st 3 rows of floor and the lst three sections NEXT TO THE STAGE in both 100 and 200. (translate that to whatever the sections are refered to at your own personal arena)$100 can get you an incredible experience you will never forget! now i share my ticket story.... *It was April 7, 2001. My aunt and I went to the nearby tops to get 2 tickets to the bsb show. now let me explain that since november 14th 2001 when i saw them in concert for the 1st time i've had this feeling that i'd end up REALLY close the next time. i am sitting there in my seat *level 200, row 2, seat 9 - i still remember* and watching them sing their hearts out down below and i all of a sudden get this eerie feeling that at the next concert i'd ," be really close! like second row or something!" no i didn't get 2nd row floor but i did do REALLY well. i was all pumped up for the tix as i remembered that moment (and i do have esp/ can be psychic so...). i was feeling confident that my hand bill or jsut a few before mine would be called. well we had 2 handbills. my aunt had 5. i had 20. 43 was called. ...okay i started to cry like i did last time when my number was faraway as well. it;s just the intial disapointment of your anticipation crushed (and i had both fingers and my legs crossed from well before they even called the hand bill). your mom (in my case aunt ... she's like my mom though... she takes care of me, and we are very close) calms you down. you wipe away your tears and are okay. You still get to see the backstreet boys. after i was calm i'd figure we'd probably to pretty well none the less. i just never figured THAT good! We FINALLY are approaching the ticket counter. the nice worker who was keeping everything in line with the tix informed us that they were out of 38.50 seats and all they had was 68.50 seats and single seats. so my aunt and i looked at each other and decided to split up so that we could get better seats. so we get up to the counter and ask for 2 seats... they can be separate. the lady is taking FOREVER! she asks us ," 100 on the floor". my eyes pop out of my head. she can't be serious! that;s only 3 rows! it HAS TO be sold out. she looks. it is. i feel much better. if it weren't somethinhg would have been seriously wrong. she goes through again and then she asks "106 and 105"? we say sure. now we have to go in the pay line. we have no idea where we are within those sections since we wont' get the physical tix til we pay, but i am pretty excited. and the lady the nice worker that i mentioned before says," wow those are really great seats." and my aunt says," yea, it';s her birthday." and she says "happy birthday". and i tell her that my b-day is 4 days before the show. (aka yesterday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! i figured my prez from the boyz was knowing how a.j. is and that he is getting help. sept 18th here i come!!!) we look on at a ladys seating map as we make our way into the other line. my eyes must have popped out of my head. 106 was RIGHT NEXT to the stage. 105 next to 106. so i told my aunt that i had 106 and she had 105. we still dont' know what row we are in! okay so finally we pay and get the envelope with the tix. as we walk out of the line we stop to look at them. somehow we haven't been separated because we are BOTH in 106! then i see where we are! ROW 5!!! seats 11 and 12. dude we are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close!!!!!!!* well it feels good to get to share the story of my great tix but i need to shut up cuz i could go on forever. 2 weeks ago i went online to get my friends ticket... section 105 row 4 seat 7!!!! um yea, so no... prices aren't to high. *chill~~~~* *~Mimi*~ Submitted by Katie M. from Louisville KY USA Date: Tue Jul 10 23:09:49 2001 If you want an awesome show, lots of energy, loads of fans, live and amazing songs, looks from the guys, personal messages, and lots more that I can't explain in words, it's worth the price, BELIEVE me! Submitted by Maggie from Franklin MA USA Date: Tue Jul 10 21:15:25 2001 I think prices could be lower, because my parents make me buy my own tickets, and everything, and I don't get an alowance or have a job. I mean, for the show, its worth it, but I think it could be cheaper Submitted by Edina from United Kingdom Date: Tue Jul 10 12:02:09 2001 Wow you guys pay a heck of alot for tickets man. The last time I went to see bsb i payed £20 for my ticket, I don't know the exchage rate but i'm sure it's no where near $100 I think it may be around $30-40 that's a huge difference. Submitted by Kelly from Mastic New York USA Date: Tue Jul 10 03:50:18 2001 Honestly, prices for concert tickets are way too high. $122 each for second level is outta control. Of course I would sell my organs to the black market for tickets so I would buy them anyway. I have spent outrageous prices on tickets and I know that once I'm in college there's no way I'll be able to afford them so I guess I'm gonna have to start with a kidney.... I only need one of those anyway. :o) First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 3 of 14
