Well I for one think the live concerts are what the music is all about. Not about album sales, or music videos, or interviews, or photo shoots. IT'S THE MUSIC that counts and I think if they want more respect then they should lower prices to get more people to go to concerts...which will showcase their real talent leading them to more fans. It's absolutely out rageous and rediculous that the thing that counts the most to fans costs the most. I'll be dammened if I fork out a 150 dollars for ONE bloody ticket. Like many other's have said....their main fan base is probably between 10-20 and most people between that age don't have the money to pay for that.....let alone a FOURTY TWO dollar t-shirt. It seems almost wron and coniving that the record companies (or whoever deals with the costs) allows this crap. I mean I love my boys to death but do the REALLY need 150-200 dollars per person. I mean especially when they're selling to arena's that hold 10,000 and up people. I'd be satisfied with 10 bucks a person...that's 100,000 dollars. I know the money is split up including cost of all the stage "spectacular" that they put on....but really who needs all that flashy...showy stuff. Don't you just want the music...to hear them sing? That IS what it's all about isn't it?! Or wait....maybe I'm wrong and the world needs the special effects because we get too bored too easily and think that every person HAS to one up the next. Sorry I'm tired...and I had to rant. I'll probably wake up in the morning and think "what the hell was I thinking?" anyway....goodnite. ~Melissa Submitted by Mindy from Portland Oregon USA Date: Wed Feb 6 20:03:56 2002 I paid $150 for one ticket at the Portland Oregon show..and it was in the second highest section..but it was sooooooooo worth it because I was at the front of the section and since it's higher then the first section, the BSB could really see me well...and Brian and Nick both blew me kissez...it was the night of my life...I got kissez blown to me by Brian and Nick..waves from Howie and Kevin..A major booty shake right in front of my face from Nick ...and when I threw my teddy bear on the stage to A.J. he gave it a big hug! lol then he looked at me all cute with his big beautiful eyes!!! it was the best night of my life! and for only $150 (plus all the souvineers I bought-$100) but hey...no true BSB fan would put a price on seeing there boys in concert!! Submitted by Karine from Quebec City Quebec Canada Date: Tue Feb 5 21:52:02 2002 Hi :) So..I think that the tickets was kinda high... The show was on September 17th 2001 in Montreal And I paid My tickets 115$ .. for the first row they was almost 160$ .. so..Kinda high yeah...

I got 2 tickets on the floor for the September concert in Buffalo NY, and they were $100 in US dollars(believe me, with a 45% exchange rate it's brutal). For most fans, it's expensive, especially for a family that has two kids that want to go! I still love them though!!! Submitted by anna from vancouver bc Canada Date: Sat Jan 19 17:30:49 2002 Ok yea the tickets are expensive but it totaly is worth it, they put on the best performances. I went twice in 2001 but the seats werent too good cause i got them a few days b4 the concert and they were about 130 $. i totaly think i paid too much 4 those kind of seats. I never know were to go when they sell them on the first day and are they cheaper on the first day....i really got get better tickets next time...someone email me please bsb_baby88@hotmail. peace love and backstreet boys !! xoxo~ anna ~ xoxo Submitted by Nicci Carter from NJ USA Date: Fri Jan 18 21:00:56 2002 OK! I got 2 16th row Aaron Carter tickets and they were cheaper than 1 42363425608930 row BSB ticket! They are so expensive! I was so surprised my mom got me tickets! Just cuase they are so sexy and so talented doesn't mean they have to rob their fans for thier money so we can see them! GEEZE!

Submitted by Tina from Peace River Alberta Canada Date: Tue Jan 8 21:34:06 2002 I luv the Backstreet Boys, and I would do anyhting to see them....although I already have on September 28,2001 in Edmonton because my friend won tickets to see them, and she invited me to go with her.Anyways even though the tickets were free, I still think the BSB ticket prices are way to high...it's like highway robbery.Just because the BSB's are really popular doesn't mean the ticket prices have to be so high.I have been trying to get tickets to see them when they come to Alberta...but prices seem to be too high...so i end up not going just because i can't afford to.yes prices are to high.130 dollars for a good seat is too much. Submitted by Zelly from MTL Canada Date: Sun Dec 30 14:07:34 2001 HELL YEAHHHHHH it pisses me off! man what are they thinking we're as rich as BSB! duh!!!!! aaarrg lol I spent all I had of money to go to a concert man its way to high... lol but we're backstreet fans we love them...hehe is there something we wouldnt do?? lol I don't think so...and second...THE CONCERT ROCKED...MAN I could never have imagine it'd be sooooo damn great of a show! Submitted by Amanda from Peoria IL USA Date: Sun Dec 30 00:19:39 2001 Well, of course they're too high! But it's totally worth it- I really don't care if I'm in debt because I buy too much stuff as a result of going to a lot of concerts- what a way to go, huh? *lol* KTBSPA! Submitted by Kodi from Brush P. WA USA Date: Sat Dec 29 03:12:51 2001 I think the prices are just purrfect even though i've paid for two of them and the total came up to almost 200 dollars, but it didnt bug me one bit and i totally thought the concert was worth it!! I think each of those guys are worth a million bucks and i think the fans are to:)Well peace and love to all of you! Bye! Bye! Submitted by Michelle from USA Date: Sun Dec 2 15:04:39 2001 Yes, it's true the ticket prices for a BSB are pretty high, but it's definitely worth it!! BSB put on the best shows ever, and no amount of money can EVER compare to their amazing talents!! KTBPA!! })i({~ Michelle Submitted by ~*~*~K!~*~*~ from USA Date: Thu Nov 22 19:16:01 2001 I Don't Really Think They're Too High...Prolly Cause My Parents Buy Them For Me Like, No Matter What, But Some People Might Not Be Able To Afford Them If They're Too High Or Whatever And Then They're Missing Out...So I Dunno... -Love Always And Then Some- -xoxo- ~*~*~K!~*~*~ Submitted by elixir from Canada Date: Sat Nov 17 20:09:03 2001 I, personally would pay alot for tickets to a bsb concert cuz i love em. But the person i go to concerts wit can't afford pay alot of money for a concert. and i wouldn't go alone. alot of fans can't afford to pay a high price for concert tickets. that should b taken into consideration Submitted by Megan Gonzalez from Centralia Wa USA Date: Sun Oct 28 02:06:29 2001 I went to the concert in Dallas, Texas. And I got two tickets, for over $100 each. But the concert was great, so it was definately worth it! KTBSPA! And I love Drowning! Megan Submitted by kristina from B.C Canada Date: Wed Oct 24 23:17:30 2001 i payed 200 dollars for two tickets and the seats were in like the nose bleed section lol Submitted by Erica from Dayton Ohio USA Date: Wed Oct 17 13:52:56 2001 Shoot, I paid 160.00 for ONE ticket for 6th row...so did my cuzin, but I thought that it was worth it...i'd pay ne thing for em.... Submitted by April Evans from New Jersey USA Date: Thu Sep 20 00:12:27 2001 I, at first, thought that ticket prices were absolutely nuts. And then...I remembered something...I have gotten tickets through Ticket Brokers for a lot more than what I paid, so it is not that big of a deal. And think about this: The Boys originally signed a contract with all the venues, promising a stadium tour, and then downsized to an arena tour. Don't you think they had to compensate in some way for that? Anyway, I mean, I don't pay usual face value for my seats anymore, thanks to my friend who gets me FRONT ROW SEATS for $80 each, but ya know... The show is totally worth it no matter what price you pay. For the Into the Millennium Tour, I paid $95 each ticket (and bought two) and had nosebleed seats. The point is that I don't miss a BSB concert ever.... First Page - Previous - Next - Last - Add Entry - Other Topics - Message Boards - Exit Page 2 of 14
