I've already had that magic moment. Nigel Havers Playing Max De Winter in Rebecca! About £20 as I remember.

Led zeppelin or the Who or Deep Purple or these days Foo Fighters

I'd love to see Robbie Williams again. Can't remember what I paid before, but it was a crowd of 65000 and I never actually saw him - had to make do with the video screens at the back. I thought I was over him, but when he was on the Graham Norton Show recently, I came all over all funny again - despite the cardigan!

I really want to see ELO but cant persuade DH that its worth £150 upwards (each) for tickets would have to include hotel expenses as well.

I would give a lot of money to see the Three Tenors on stage, or just Luciano Pavarotti. Not gonna happen is it? sad

I saw all the 60 s group Stones, Freddy and the dreamers, little Richard, searches, Gerry and the pacemakers Herman, manfred, Marianne faithful etc etc at a local seaside hotel when they were all starting out early 60 s it was not expensive we bopped the night away each weekend They were great times later years status quo, Brooke Benton, slade ( not my cuppa tea really)
I would have loved to see Elvis and Queen but can’t imagine paying the kind of money others are quoting I did see Nelson Mandela after his release that was magical
Who would I like to see in a panto .....do you know I m struggling here well he’s dead so it would be a bit impossible ? but the actor who first made my heart skip a beat Yul Brynner

We saw Neil Sedaka a couple of years ago at the Royal Albert Hall, I think the tickets were about £90 each. Although he looked like everyone's favourite grandparent (don't we all!!!) his voice was still the same, strong and sweet. Money very well spent.

Garth Brooks or Blake Shelton. I'd pay up to £100.

If I could choose a group, then that would be easy. I would love to see Pentatonix. If they come to the UK again, I will pay the ticket price, hopefully it won't be extortionate. We just saw Queen with Adam Lambert and our tickets were £75. Never paid that much before.

This is quite hard isn't it? I would like to see Elvis, but before he started wearing jumpsuits. Neil Sedaka too. Matt Monroe or Val Doonican. All of them when they were at their best. Can't think of any actors yet.

Struggling to think of people who are alive!

I would love to see Willie Nelson , doubt I would for a tenner !

We did see Andre Rieu live in Glasgow a few years ago and it was not that expensive. Best of all we booked into a hotel next to the Venue, came down to breakfast and there was most of the orchestra tucking in. We spoke to some of them and thanked them for a wonderful performance.

Sister and I saw our all time favourites the Everly Brothers on their Reunion/Farewell tour and it was wonderful. We sang along, word perfect, to every song. Again not particularly expensive.

I would have liked to have seen queen.. I'm notoriously miserly, but I think I would pay 500 if it were possible.

Would love to see Andre Rieu live but I know tickets are very expensive.

In the 70s we paid a huge amount of money for tickets from a tout to see the Rolling Stones and my dad said the amount we paid was more than his mortgage. The Stones were not very good and Dad's comment has stayed with me so I wouldn't pay any more than the going to see anyone.

I've seen just about everyone I would like to see over the years including Rod several times and Victoria Wood twice . If I could go back in time and be a few years older then Jimi Hendrix would top my list . I'd pay £1000 to be in the front stalls of the Royal Albert Hall in today's money .

BlueBelle Fri 22-Dec-17 19:38:55

Nobody really would entice that kind of money out of me

Anniebach Fri 22-Dec-17 19:35:17

Struggling, everyone i think of is dead ☹️

petra Fri 22-Dec-17 19:06:56

I've seen most of the greats, but it would be Barbara Streisand. I'm really thinking now how much I would pay.
It would be upwards of £500 but would I go to £1,000?

Alima Fri 22-Dec-17 18:36:08

Possible: Rod Stewart (would have to be right at the front). Be worth £500..
Impossible: Victoria Wood, priceless.

Having read the Panto thread, I'm just wondering who you would really like to see perform on stage and how much you'd pay for it?
