I recently purchased 2 REM tickets from their website, for 55 pounds each (the one time in my life when I need that symbol and it's nowhere to be found ). This has ended up costing me $305 aussie once you include currency conversion and I don't know how many extra processing fees. They don't even send the tickets out until late february. I could have got them cheaper through fucking ticketmaster ! This from REM for christ's sake. I'd hate to be a Rolling Stones or Eagles fan or something.
What ridiculous prices have you paid/heard about?

well, I payed $50 US dollars a piece to see REM this year. the total cost was $139 for 2 people... Which is way to expensive for my wallet.
But that's not the most expensive I've seen around. Sting probably isn't rich enough or need to buy another castle, his concerts cost $250 a piece.. that's outrageous!

After viewing the VFC final I was excited because i have never seen REM live before and i talked myself into saying i need to check them out. I knew they were playing in my area soon so I went to ticketbastard to get tickets. 55 dollars before the ticketbastard fees
Thats insane. I don't understand why they need to be so high. I did not go to the show because of the ticket price.
