Bite me, bitch! 
Actually, it was somebody else's money, so I didn't feel all that bad spending it.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 6:26pm187.50 for first row mezz for LION KING. Totally worth every penny. It was an amazing seat and I bought it last minute from the hotel I was staying at.

Hmmmm..
I've had $90-100 tickets bought for me, but not lately.
The most I've paid personally for a Broadway show is $55 for Rent. I tend to rush, or hold out for advance ticket discounts (Nothing could beat the $20 for Glass Menagerie last summer!).
Although when I lived in London, I'd frequently pay 40 pounds plus fees for West End tickets. I just convinced myself not to do the exchange rates in my head. :)

Posted: 1/24/06 at 9:47pm$110 for Shoshana Bean's last show of Wicked. I think it was worth it. Seeing as I was in the same row as her parents and sat next to her trainer.

My uncle got me a pair of tix to RENT with the original cast for Christmas 1996. He paid $700 for the pair. Imagine that 10 years ago!
(I only found out because I had to pick them up from the ticket broker he bought them from, but I thought they were for a client, so I thought nothing of looking at the CC receipt!)

Posted: 1/25/06 at 1:56pm$450 for a special benefit at the Met - Pavarotti sang "Nessun Dorma"! At least most of it was tax deductible.

the most i've paid for a show was something like $120.45 for Jersey Boys like a month after it opened. i got a GREAT seat, though. and no slips of paper in the book.
that'd be fun to hear! what's the most you ever paid for a show that the actual actors you paid to see weren't in?! hahaha

Whatever I paid for Movin' Out was too much.
Seriously, though, I think I topped out at about $100 and some-odd dollars for Spamalot. Bah.

Posted: 7/7/06 at 8:36pmLast time I was in Las Vegas, about $140 for Cirque du Solei O, and before that about $125 for one of Sigfried and Roy's final shows. And both times were very rear orch.

Ticket broker's price for a Second Row-Center seat for the closing show of The Boy from Oz( regular price was $ 350 pp for orchestra ) - very memorable and unforgettable theatre experience! Also, I had to fly from Asia to see the show
Now I am doing it again - I'm flying to Sydney to see TBFO in Australia, for the arena spectacular version. Premium seats are even higher than Broadway.
I have also chased my favourite musical, Les Miserables, in three cities ( London, New York, and Paris) - that really adds up to the cost of the ticket.
Crazy, huh --
but as I have just heard Angela Lansbury say in a re-run of Murder She Wrote -- there are only three things that one cannot get enough of :
*Chocolates
*Friends, and
*The theatre
