Let’s face it: money is the answer to relatively everything in the world… especially concert tickets for the hottest shows of the year. Websites such as StubHub.com, Cheap Tickets, and even Craig’s List sell and buy concert tickets to the masses at outrageously expensive prices. I don’t know about the average person, but the most that I have ever spent on a concert ticket was around 40 dollars; that 40 dollar ticket (to the Vans Warped Tour in 2007, by the way) gave me the passage to see more than one band, but almost 20. However, when it comes to the best shows and performers, money is in the eye of the beholder. People will pay whatever amount the selling price is asking if it means that they will be able to see their favorite performer live in concert.
If you thought that the Taylor Swift ticket prices were outrageous, j ust wait for this next one. I knew that the Jonas Brothers’ ticket prices would be high, but not as high as I found them on “Cheap” Tickets.com. For a summer performance in New York, someone is attempting to sell their seats for $999,999.00 and not a penny less. Now, I’m not sure if this person did this as a joke, but come on—be a little realistic.

Fall Out Boy gets the gold medal for the cheapest tickets out there. While their April 25th show at Merriweather has yet to sell out, individuals across Maryland have been anxiously awaiting buyers on Craig’s List and Stub Hub. On Craig’s List, the most expensive tickets for this weekend’s concert range from $100 to $300 a ticket. While I would never pay that much for a concert ticket, some people would find those prices to be a steal, especially for such a popular band as Fall Out Boy.
