Should I spend the money??

[tuppaware]

Hmmm.... Should I spend $1500 to go to LA for a concert ? 3 days travel , three days there...

If you have to ask then the answer is probably NO :!:

If it was for Led Zeppelin, or somehow the Beatles magically re-grouped for one concert, then yes, absolutely!

Furthest I've ever traveled was SYD-MEL for Rolling Stones (after seeing them in Sydney already ), but I was willing to travel to London for the Led Zep concert @ 02 Arena, if I'd won the chance to buy tickets.

Cheers,

I was going to do this for Coachella...Until I realised the dates coincided with previously booked work travel. I'd do it if I could though :mrgreen:

Yes... I ask because I know I shouldn't spend the money.

Went to Vegas for a weekend ex Sydney, sometimes you just have to do it!

Go for it.
I'm going to Japan twice this year for nothing more than having a piss up and a good time. Two days each visit, really, that's all my liver can take

 

[docjames]

Depends on who's playing.

 

[haydensydney]

Do it.
It's only $1500 and if its a once in a lifetime thing, then be spontaneous and treat yourself...

I once interrupted a TYO trip to fly back to NYC for an opening night at the Met, then flew back to Japan the next morning.

I say GO FOR IT. To paraphrase an old saying, it's the things we DON'T do that we regret on our death-beds.

I'm going to eurovision in Oslo in May.... So hell yeah...why not! (that said, I am using my krisflyer points and not spending 1500 dollars)...although given Norway is expensive I will probably spend that in just getting around, eating and drinking anyway.

 

[simongr]

Purely out of interest - who is playing? I personally would fly for particular people - though I am not sure I am a big enough fan of anyone to fly to the US in whY

 

[tuapekastar]

Agree with NYCguy's sentiments...you may regret not doing it. And on a similar note, an oft-quoted saying is "life is not a dress rehearsal"!

I'm also curious as to who is playing...not that it affects my opinion on whether you should go or not.

 

[Keith009]

Why not?

However I too would actually be more worried about the flying whY bit than actually spending the money....

 

[trooper]

If that expenditure is at all discretionary... I mean if you are not taking the funds from something important.. then DO IT!

I took advantage of the airfares on NZ October last.. spent 6 days in the US catching up with friends and doing some "UP running"....:mrgreen:

Upgrade cleared going over but not coming back... Such is Life.

No regrets about the trip at all!

Your all bad influences !

I'm a big fan of Peter Gabriel and he is playing his soon to be newly released album at the Hollywood music bowl in May.

 

[Febs]

Just make sure he's not planning a tour here any time soon...a mate of mine went to see Leonard Cohen in Europe, soon before he announced his Australian tour.

Of course, he turned it into a ~6 week Europe trip, so it wasn't all bad.

 

[NYCguy]

What did you expect?

Any excuse to get on a plane for this lot. In first, business or economy class (well, maybe not economy in every instance).

Now that would be something.. I can understand wanting to fly somewhere to see that

Last time he was in Aus was 1994.. And I did see him then . I was only 14!

How much are tickets?

I dont know yet. The pre-release has sold out (in 2 days )

I might be shot down by my partner... :-(
