What's the least you've ever paid for a concert?

[sheselectric]

I just got back from the Coldplay concert in San Francisco...I wasn't gonna go but at the last minute I decided to show up early and see if they had any extra tickets. They did....for only $15 each! And to think those effing ebay scalpers wanted over $100 for one ticket. The concert was awesome, btw.

Sooo....what's the least expensive concert you've gone to?

I've been to two $5 concerts. First was Hum, Sponge, Spin Doctors. Second was Oh Phil, Room Full of Walters and a few other Ska bands followed by Seven Mary Three, Gravity Kills, Big Wreck, Brother Kane, and a few other bands.

I've also seen Local-H twice and Days of the New once, each for $10.

Most expensive was going to Rush this summer for $65.

Living in Gainesville, many of our local bands ARE better-known ones. (i.e. Sister Hazel, Less than Jake, Tom Petty, etc...)

I saw The Black Crowes at the 3rd Annual Atlanta Pot Festival a few years ago...no charge

yea i know! hehe i was so happy... also amazed at how few people were there.

second favorite concert (was 15 bucks though) was rbf, goldfinger, and suburban legends. hot damn

oh yea, and i think rx bandits are getting popular or something... my spy went to the warped tour here and said they had a large crowd at their stage. and i could have sworn i heard one of their songs on the radio on one of those late night shows.

wow...you didn't even realize it but you helped me remember the name of a band. last night my friends and i were in the car and that old sister hazel song came on, and none of us could remember the name of the band who sang it. you just refreshed my memory.

I heard a few of their band members are from Los Alamitos, that's really close to my house, I think they're the most famous people I kinda know from my area. Besides No Doubt that is

I've seen Within Temptation 3 times for free so far. First time they were well known within the metal scene, but not much besides that, and they performed at a liberation festival for free (all bands did). They got very popular in a few countries here early this year, and shortly after they got popular I got to go for free 2 more times. Second time a (female) friend of mine who used to work at a popular club in Amsterdam got me on the guest list there, and the third time the same friend phoned the place they played at and asked for the singer (without knowing her ), and asked if she could put me on the guest list. Wasn't possible for that day anymore, but it was possible for another day

$0

 

[compuwiz1]

$0.00, but I spent 3 bux for gas and about $30 on beer. Does that count?

 

[Freejack2]

My roomate at the time had won free tickets to see 38 special.
Was a pretty nifty blast from the past.
