Posted: 1/23/06 at 10:36pm$100 for TABOO seats in the mezzaine. brought the tickets before the show opened and thought it would be a big hit. at the performance i went to there was only 10 other people in the mezzaine with me.

Our (NJRae and me are sisters) dad loves us so much for hanukkah he got us premium seats to see a wednesday matinee of Wicked a few weeks ago... $250 each... ouch... but terrific seats... one seat away from direct center, row E which in my opinion is like perfect... first few rows suck you cant see everything and you can see all the make up and everything
ps: wicked premium seats are still 250- except I think its on Sunday matinees that it goes up to 300. Also, I think its funny how almost everyone who commented here mentioned that they didn't and never would pay for their own tickets... wow we are all so spoiled lol (and I am including myself in that category)

$50 for 3rd row balcony of The Producers, and $50 for the front row of Little Shop of Horrors. Both here in Louisville on tour and both gifts, so I didn't really pay them.
The most I've personally paid was $30 to see RENT in Bloomington in 2004. (The second time I saw it in Cincinatti, I paid $12.50)

Around $350 for a front mezz ticket to the final performance of The Boy from Oz. While it pained me greatly to pay it, it was the most amazing theater experience of my life and I'll never regret it. Likely, I'll never pay that amount again, but I had fun!

Posted: 1/24/06 at 12:25amthe most i've ever paid is $55 for front row partial view at wicked. i've sat in full price seats before but they were gifts. all of that is going to change though, i have a little over 1,000 set away for when tickets to the 10th anniv of rent go on sale.

#62re: What's the most you've paid for a ticket?
Posted: 1/24/06 at 9:13amI think it was probably for Rent on New Year's Eve '02. Although, my mother paid, not me.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 11:39am$122 for Lestat which I've yet to see.
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:22pmi didnt pay for it, but a "friend" of mine got us two premium seats for the original "Producers" and i think it was $600/each - needless to say i was sitting close enough to see nathan lane spit and my "friend" got a very nice "repayment" from me later that night.
