Frankly speakly, I didnt expect the tickets in Singapore vary with other Asian cities so much, when they announced the sales across Asia. That makes Singapore the most expensive place to host any form of concert for international stars, outside Japan. Ridiculous?I really count myself lucky 'cos I realised that the tickets are ridiculous priced in Singapore, there are too many categories to choose, despite the pricing range is only 5. Just a single side view also have 5 different pricing. Can't believe it? Let's check out the price range for Kylie X2008 World Tour. Does that make Singapore competitive? I doubt so.
23/11 Bangkok - $250, $210, $140, $100, $50 (Fan Club Package @ $410 for 1st 5 rows)
25/11 Singapore - $ 550, $375, $250, $150, $100
27/11 Hong Kong - $360, $245, $190, $130, $70
29/11 Shanghai - $410, $300, $210, $150, $105, $80, $60, $40
04/12 Taipei - $270, $205, $135, $110, $70
* All prices above quoted based on Singapore Dollar.
So I choose to fly to Bangkok to watch at $140 per ticket, with 15% discount from my Thai friend, which worked out to $120 per ticket, with a Tiger Airway return ticket $0.01 promotion ($159 including all taxes), that totalled about $279 for a return airticket + kylie concert ticket which is equivalent to the price I pay $375-$550 Side View seating in Singapore (compare apple to apple where I am actually sitting in Bangkok vs Singapore).
By the way, my hotel is free for 3 nights in Bangkok because of a friend's hotel membership offer. : )
