who would you pay £100 to go and see?

[mrtourette]

I wouldn't without a great deal of internal wrangling, but that's financial rather than on principal. If I had the money it would still have to be something special at a decent venue; I'd probably pay £100 to ensure I got a ticket for the Soundgarden gig coming up at Shepherds Bush. I doubt I'd spend that much for something at Wembley Arena or the O2.

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

For £100 I'd want it to be intimate, maybe someone like Pulp in an old Steel works in Sheffield.

[Vanderlyle]

that new york trip will be fabulous.

I wish I'd made a holiday around seeing leonard playing in Paris this tour..he played the l'olympia which has a capacity of 2000 or so, I saw footage from the gig and it looked incredible. Quite rare to see him in such intimate surroundings these days. I believe ticket prices were an eye watering 199EUR though!

judging by the way leonard skips on and off stage, I think the wheelchair is a long way off yet

G n R reunion is the only one I can think of.

[russycarps]

Yeah - I thought about going to Paris but went to Gent instead. Tickets were half the price and venue a similar size (outdoors - in a quaint old square - very Belgian....)

[Becoming a veteran]

Had the reunion not have happened, I probably would have paid a fair bit to watch The Stone Roses. It did happen though and luckily not quite that much, although it was a massively expensive weekend for me but a great one.

[sjseabass]

If we're talking resurrections, Joy Division and maybe Nirvana. Can't think of any gigs that could actually happen that I'd pay £100 for - I've never paid more than £35 for one, and I've seen all of my top 10 favourite bands (mostly more than once) except Radiohead. Fingers crossed that one will be ticked off at Glasto 2013 .

[Wooderson]

ZZ Top.

[pjadnoo]

For me (assuming we're talking live musicians!) it could only really be something like a Pink Floyd or Led Zep reunion. For current bands the only I can immediately think of would be something really special e.g. Mars Volta in a tiny venue playing Deloused in its entirety, or Radiohead with OK Computer... If resurrections are allowed then the list gets considerably longer...

I've never paid anywhere near that for a single gig, but the one that immediately springs to mind that would have been worth that was a Super Furries gig at Royal Festival Hall, which included several sets (3?), additional bands, and lots of random non-musical fun stuff.

[Chinaski_]

No one, far too much money to spend on a gig.

[cortezuk]

What a great question! I am lucky enough to have seen most of the acts you are mentioning so there is little tempting me. Think that a reformed Pink Floyd or Genesis may tempt me but one that definitely would would be Joni Mitchell - oh to hear her sing live again!

[Dougie Douglas]

The one and only Mr Johnny Cash. Would need a time machine thrown in with the ticket price though.

[AcademicPistol]

I'd spend £90 feeding the poor and with the £10 I buy their album

Alternatively I'd pay £100 for Jessie J to go away........ forever!

[cammie81]

Smashing Pumpkins if they let me write the set list.

[austrian_zeppelin]

i paid £ 825 for my Zeppelin reunion ticket (best money ever spent), but that was to fullfil a lifelong ambition and a unique chance to see the best band ever in action (well 3/4 of it plus the only possible substitute drummer).

Other than that it would have to be original line ups (as far as possible) of Floyd, Sabbath, Cream, Mountain etc to warrant anything in the 100+ region. Stuff like the Stones now makes me vomit. Greedy fuckers

[iamstreety]

I've only paid £100 to see Eric Clapton at the RAH and also The Arctic Monkeys at the RAH (tout).

I would pay over £100 if Led Zep or Cream were to reunite and tour.

[milly16]

Kate bush. Been wishing since I was a tiny tot to see her,I hope and pray one day she will get back on stage.

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

How on earth did you come up with your username?

[rachbon]

I wouldn't pay £100 for anyone. It would put me off an act if they were charging their fans such a high amount of money.

[Mardy]

I think, but I can't remember exactly, that I paid 160 euros or so for tickets to Leonard Cohen in a smallish venue in Vienna. That's the thing, isn't it? lot of money, but a few years later you remember the gig, not how much the tickets were. Mind, that's different for 400 notes for the stones at the o2, that's just taking the piss.

[monkey1989]

to be honest i would pay a 100 to see the rolling stones if it was standing , i have never and do not wish to be seated at any gig

[neilloggie]

There is nobody I would pay £100+ to see.

[russycarps]

I feel pretty much like that at the moment.
