    i've spent just about $300, on iron maiden and heavy mtl
  • fucketh_thine_selffucketh_thine_self Posts: 3,363 just the tip
    and probably close to another 1000 for motel rooms, gas and beer at the shows

    i've done pretty good as far as spending as little as possible at concerts, eat at home before i go. i did buy $6 fries at mayhemfest
  • fucketh_thine_selffucketh_thine_self Posts: 3,363 just the tip
    yeah well iron maiden was a 4 and a half hour drive (one way)
    and heavy mtl was 8 and a half (one way) so the gas and motel rooms add up quick, especially considering i stayed in a motel for 3 nights when in montreal
  • laurjohn2laurjohn2 Posts: 6,951 balls deep
    thats why i didnt go to maiden. i would have had a 5 to 6 hour drive to new york. I dont have the money to spend this year, so i have to be more selctive. Closer venues with free parking is what i am going for this year.

    Stone Temple Pilots/Alice In Chains/Three Days Grace/Fuel/Skillet/Dive/Automatic Fire-$50
    Soilwork-$22

    yeah im looking at the 4 to 4 and a half hour drive no matter what cuz i live in the asshole of the world (or the bush as we like to call it) so i dont really have too many options... i have to travel no matter what, so i might as well go to the shows i really want to see

    Just on tickets I've spent about $340 but merch costs a lot too. I spent about $100 in mercy at the maiden show.

    I realized if I didn't go to any shows, I could have $300 on a car. And then other money
  • GazorpazorpfieldGazorpazorpfield Posts: 22,293 master of ceremonies
    Shows varied between who I went with and who bought the tickets.

    WASP -$50..Dad bought
    Kreator - I think $40..Dad bought
    JFAC/Whitechapel - $26..I bought
    Black Dahlia Murder - $26..I bought
    Obituary - $30..I bought
    She & Him - $50..I bought
    Woe of Tyrants - $10..I bought, went by myself
    Iron Maiden - $400 4 pit tix, dad bought
    Ted Nugent - Free
    Mushroomhead - $20..I bought, went by myelf.

    Those are the face value without fees, add them in and its another $100 at least. Most of them are 2 tickets except the couple I went solo.

    Probably a couple hundred bucks. Most of my shows are small time, so like somewhere between 10-15.

    I didn't have the extra money to do a whole lot this year, not even enough for a handful of shows, so just the $60 something I spent on pit tix for Mayhem, this year.
