To see anybody in concert?

Right now I'm seriously debating over Erykah Badu. She will be playing The Fillmore next month, and I've never seen her live. When I saw the price, minus ticketbastard charges etc, I couldn't go through with it, but it's still on my mind. If it was $15 less, then no hesitation on my part.

Who would you pay to see for that amount or higher?

$60?? That's cheap compared to a lot of them!

Sounds like a big problem for you.
Maybe you can go see Spider-Man #3 instead?

Not to see her.

$60 ain't that expensive for a concert in 2007.
With Badu I'm assuming you get to see a tight at least 6 piece band?
That's pretty good value!

There's singers charging more than $60 performing with damn backup tracks!!

If you dig her and you haven't seen her, I say go for it.

Peace.

Holy shit!! Hell yea I'd pay that for Badu

:::looking for tix:::

WHY didn't I hear about this gig?? Those bitches are supposed to send me venue notices

no to see Erykah " ive fucked every rapper in tha game" Badu no...

I've paid 70 to see the Stones

I think she betta calllll tyrooooone....

i paid about that much for my bjork ticket and it was worth every cent. sadly, for most big names, that's about how much you can expect to pay (if not more).

that's what i was about to say.

I've payed twice this much to see most of the big name Acts... 60.00 is really cheap

when i went to see Badu when "Mama's Gun" came out, she was only like $40 bucks...with an opening act. Would I pay more than that to see her now, most likely no since she really hasn't put out anything better than "Baduizm" in my opinion. "Mama's gun" had a few tight cuts on it, but I can still pop in "Baduizm" and listen to it straight through to this day.

I've paid a lot more to see Madonna...

Thankfully those times are gone...

$60 bucks is nothing for a show and I'd drop it to see Badu but if you've never seen her I'd think hard about it. Her shows can be different and while I've never been disappointed and am dying for her to come back to my area I know some people just don't get her. So if you think $60 is a lot you might not want to spend it on a show that's not what you expect. She might even be trying out new material from her (hopefully) forthcoming album.

i'd pay $60 bucks to see D'Angelo.

I've paid $1000 for a concert before.

Tix just went onsale yesterday. Ticketbastard don't give the faithful no love
Actually I was looking up Robin Thicke, not knowing that the show is tonight and of course sold out. I knew she was coming to the Bay Area for some other even so I checked on that.

Depends who Im paying to see, I am not an Erykah Badu fan so I would not pay to see her.

Don't get me wrong, I have paid more than $60 to see a concert, way more. That amount to the best of my knowledge was paid for maybe 2 or 3 of solo acts that I've seen, mostly Prince; but when it comes to groups, the sky is the limit. Now I figure she will at least show up and do something. I was just wondering if it will be worth it. After missing her more than five times, I knew I wanted to see her, but still debating.

Are you familiar with her music?

Yes, I'd pay $60 to see someone that I really liked. It's actually quite cheap. I've paid over $150 for one ticket before.
