That's how much tickets in the Shit Seats were going for at the One Direction's Concert at Madison Square Garden . I could spend a couple of hours=plus of Quality Time with Evon Rose for what those tickets were going for .

Please tell me you have a 14yo daughter that wants to go to that and the tickets aren't for you.

I agree 100%. Anyone over the age of 16 should be a parent or guardian. please

you're past puberty and into them ?
I took my little 10 and 13 year old nieces to the Katie Perry movie this summer. They were crazy in love with it and it was actually pretty entertaining.
But going there as an adult on my own would be a bit creepy.

Seattle is on their schedule too, over $400 for the worst seats - just crazy.

OK I am an old fart - I recall going to concerts (at least once a month) in high school (1970's). I could buy Led Zep tickets in the front section (like row G) for I think less than $40. I was working as a dishwasher on minimum wage and I would be paying for my pot, my girlfriend, and pairs of tickets from that.

If you have a child, offer to buy them the DVD and do a fun activity with them and their friends. You cannot deprive yourself from several hours of your favorite Tgirl

One Direction, like Piers Morgan, are a British export to the US we'd be very happy for you to keep...

The clue is in the title -there is only one direction in which your money is going, and it is far away from your pocket...I think VIP tickets for Madonna in London's 02 arena a year or so ago were around the £1,500 mark for which you got champagne access to an exclusive disco, and so on, even though a ticket for Madonna should not be worth more than $5, if that. One Direction indeed!

Tickets for the Stones recent gig were £850. Maybe it's the cost of keeping them all in incontinence pants......

Mind you, reviews were pretty good, but I'd never pay that kind of money for a gig. And for my kind of music, you don't have to.

Most I've ever paid was £42 to see Elvis Costello in Birmingham last spring. And it was worth every penny. No frills, just three solid hours of great music from a master songwriter.

You'd have to pay me $800+ to sit through that bloody gig...

(that and a pair of ear plugs just for good measure)

I once went to an REM Concert where the tickets were $5.00 each . You got all the Draft Beer you could drink at that price . A year later i saw U-2 for $15.00 included entry into the amusement park . Well it was $15.00 if you brought 2 empty Coke cans .

Thanks. My own gigs tend to be in the £10 - £20 range, which isn't bad, but then I am a miserable fucker.... :wiggle:

1) A Boy Band is a Boy Band which is a Flash in the Pan . Evon Rose is Having Your Cake & Eating It Too .

2) As a child my parents would say no if i asked to go to something like this & if i persisted i would get my ass spanked . Then again, i would never ask for such a B/S thing .
