I paid $101.25 for my Spamalot ticket in August. It was worth that and the nearly three hours spent in the cancellation line - Orchestra Row F Seat 8!
What's the most you've ever paid and for what show?
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Posted: 1/23/06 at 8:56am$119 for "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" through Ticketmaster (second row orchestra). Worth every penny.

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:27am$101 for Nine (revival), and it was a limited view seat (the last seat on the mezz all the way on the right). It was worth every penny though.

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:37amI think I just did a few minutes ago -- $113.10 for The Odd Couple through Ticketmaster for a first row seat.

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:42amI think the only time I've ever paid full price for an orchestra seat was for the closing performance of Long Day's Journey into Night. I got in line at 5am for SRO, and waited until noon for the box office to open, and ended up being the 2nd person not to get SRO (apparently some people farther ahead in line must have bought 2 tix when they said they'd only buy 1, or someone jumped the line or something, because I should have had one of the last SRO spots)...Anyway, after waiting all that time, I wasn't going to leave empty handed. They had a few scattered singles and I managed to get a great orchestra seat on a side aisle. After going to opening night, it was worth the $100-whatever to go to closing night as well!

Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:50amAnd I will be reimbursed for what I paid. Then my record payment will be for the numerous tickets I've bought for $100 and on line charges. That's enough to pay right there!

#12re: What's the most you've paid for a ticket?
Posted: 1/23/06 at 11:00amI paid $240 a ticket to the very last show of the Producers that Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were doing. Great seats,and it was amazing to be there that day, but that was a LOT of money!

Oh! I lied! I paid over $100 for a Yankees-Red Sox ticket for the ALCS playoffs game 6 two years ago. I was just thinking broadway.
And I paid $95 for Wicked in Chicago, but then won the lotto and sold my other ticket, so I didn't really end up paying that much.

$240.00 for Wicked Premium seats, two years ago.
It looks like their Premium seats are now going for 300.00.
I come from out of town once or twice a year. I guess I do whatever I have to to get tickets to the new shows. However, my last trip not only did I not have to buy Premium tickets, I got many shows at discounts!

Posted: 1/23/06 at 11:42am$95 each for two tickets for Spelling Bee. I splurged for my best friend's early birthday present, so it was worth it.

$250.00 But it is a present. Then also premium for Christmas at Radio City Music Hall. Couldn't help myself Oh also I can't even mention how much I spent for a Bruce Sprinsteen outdoor concert back in 1985 or 86 as part of the Born in The USA tour. Very young, very stupid, very obsessed

Posted: 1/23/06 at 12:15pm$1500 each for two great seats to the Academy Awards in 2003. Other than that, I have occasionally done the $250 or $300 for a premium seat if I don't have a reservation.
#21re: What's the most you've paid for a ticket?
Posted: 1/23/06 at 12:17pmI paid $236 per seat (2) to see what turned out to be Idina's last Saturday night performance in Wicked. Luckily, it was a birthday gift so I didn't actually pay it myself, but it was quite a bit of money.
