Certainly not cheap tickets.

I was reading that the first six rows will be able to meet Brian after the show, they also get an autographed book and a glass of wine. They will no doubt be the $350 tickets.

At that price the wine had better be from Professor Brian Schmidt's vineyard.

Hi Jen, yes I got two tickets as I will be going with Ron.
Hubby backed out saying there's no way he's paying more than $50 to see Brian . Would not budge the measly $25 more either for the $75 tickets, nope, I tried hard!

I've got to admit that along with others I too am surprised at the cost of the tickets. I tried to get the $75 ones on pre-sale but they were all sold out so I had to end up getting the $115 tickets. And that's nothing compared to the A Res. tickets of $155 and premium tickets of $195. The $350 price tag to meet him package is just down right insulting in my opinion.

I like Brian but on grounds that he's commanding such high ticket prices for a science talk (!), it put me off and I was spitting chips that I had to pay more than $75. If he wasn't commanding so much money with the rest of the tickets, I wouldn't had a problem paying the $115. But I definitely wouldn't have been paying more than $130. If I wasn't able to get the $115 tickets & had to pay more I wouldn't be going and I'd have no regrets.

I only pay $150 for Springsteen concerts for goodness sake, which is a full on no break 3 hour concert.
Brian better talk for more than an hour, educate me well, and look ridiculously good, is all I have to say.
Tanty over .

Am I narrow minded regarding the cost of the tickets? I'm seriously open to being educated here if anyone's got any input into why they may be so expensive.

Lucky girls .... and boys.

I would love to see him, but he wont be in Townsville, and the cost of going to Brissy would be too much with the tickets added on.

Tickets to see anyone these days have skyrocketed. I saw Leonard Cohen a few years ago, and cost a fortune (? about $200) and our seats werent great.

Brian is an entertainer as well, a bit of a package for sure, and I would pay quite a few $$ to see him in person. Probably not to meet him though, as I would be unable to utter anything legible out of my mouth.
