- Well last season, I paid $120 for tix to see the Broncos play the Rams. They were good seats though. - Jim Feb 4, 10:43 3

- I think I spent $80 a ticket to see Barcelona - Znufrii Feb 4, 10:34
- If I'm paying more than $50 per ticket, they better be good tickets. Not spending $100 for nose bleed seats to a football game. -- nm - The Death Sceire Feb 4, 10:33
- I don't really do professional sporting events except for the occasional hockey game. - sycor Feb 4, 10:31 3

pixie, much of the cast is definitely young with limited or no Broadway credit but they are all phenomenal. - ty97 Feb 4, 10:21 4
- i don't doubt you but if i go it will be for the show itself more than any given cast members - mr. plow Feb 4, 10:25 3
  - I said this the other day. Having seen the original cast, I can't imagine it with other. Yes, the show stands, but the songs will be different. -- nm - MDH Feb 4, 10:35 1
    - This is true of any show though. I'm pumped to go back and see it (when prices drop a bit maybe?) in the future with whatever cast -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 10:40
  - oh definitely, the show stands on its own -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 10:33
Rubio takes exception to Obama implying the us discriminates against Muslims by pointing out that we discriminate against *everyone*. Lol. -- nm* - Znufrii Feb 4, 10:21 1

- Oscars? Maybe $150-$200. Grammys? $100. MTV Music Awards? $75. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 10:28 2
  - I'm pretty sure MTV would have to pay me to show up. -- nm - MDH Feb 4, 10:28 1
    - I'd go for the spectacle. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 10:55
- Meh - Znufrii Feb 4, 10:23 6

  - this -- nm - decline Feb 4, 10:23
  - Yeah, same. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 10:22
  - you would pay nothing to go to, say, the Grammys? like, you wouldn't pay .. $50? -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 10:21 1
    - I don't think so. - groiny Feb 4, 10:21
- Oscars? ALL MY MONEY. - Andie Feb 4, 10:20 16
  - I might pay a grand for the globes. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 4, 10:47 2
    - If I was at one of the tables in the lower section only -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 10:48 1
      - oh word. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 4, 10:52
  - Maybe 10% of that for me, but I could see paying more for SAG or GG because of the food/seating/drunken nature of it. -- nm - Max Feb 4, 10:35 1
    - if i get nominated, you could force andie into a bidding war -- nm - mr. plow Feb 4, 10:35

    - if you need security detail, I am available. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 10:58
    - *bookmarks this* - Andie Feb 4, 10:27
  - That much for crappy seats? No way. Good seats in the middle of the action, maybe. - sycor Feb 4, 10:25 2
    - I would have to be handing out the awards to even consider it. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 10:26 1
      - I would need to be able to rub my crotch against Leo if I'm paying that much. -- nm - sycor Feb 4, 10:28

  - they cast it perfect except the ex-husband. But the lead actor/actress/kid are great -- nm - Beaker Feb 4, 10:35
I think I would pay that for Augusta but not Pebble mainly becuase Augusta isn't something you just 'do'. Pebble, you could get a spot there - Will Hunting Feb 4, 10:18 9
- I just had the epiphany that the real answer is a Super Bowl. Everyone here would go see one for that price. - David Feb 4, 10:20 8
  - see, if i got free Superbowl tickets, i'd sell 'em. - Andie Feb 4, 10:26 1

  - No way. - Strongbad Feb 4, 10:25 2
    - What did you do in the pre-game? Also, that's arguably the greatest Super Bowl ever. -- nm - David Feb 4, 10:28 1
      - Marching Band, we participated in Pre Game - Strongbad Feb 4, 10:37
  - Meh. -- nm - Znufrii Feb 4, 10:25
  - I wouldn't. I don't care about the NFL enough to give them money. - Will Hunting Feb 4, 10:22
  - not me. - groiny Feb 4, 10:21
