Are PPV's worth the ticket price?

[CyberTwix]

I'm thinking of buying tickets for No Way Out this Saturday, but I would like your opinions on whether or not the current product is worth 200 a ticket. The last PPV I was at was Vengeance in Vegas, which was pretty awesome, and I don't remember paying near as much for the tickets, but we were in the mid range seating on that occassion. Also, is there any extra benefits that come with the price tag anymore? I remember things like keeping your chair and fan packages in the past, but have no idea if they still do that anymore. Thanks for any feedback you could provide.

If the Elimination Chamber is there, I would think its worth the price... I'm gonna get front row seats to Summerslam...so I hope its worth the price too...

It costs $200 to see a PPV live? How do they ever get so many people?! I know I don't have that kind of money to spend on entertainment. Then again, I don't think $50 for a PPV is reasonable either. I hope, at least, for that price you're sitting ringside and get to keep your chair or something.

you think thats bad, we here in england gotta pay £65 for raw front row, which at the current exchange rate equals $130, so you guys are pretty lucky.

I like cheap seats. Thats worth it.

For a PPV, it's definitely worth it, even if you get nosebleed seats.

Then again, I'm in NYC so maybe MSG has spoiled me a bit as far as the crowd goes.

I don't know what the prices for MSG are gonna be, but its gonna be off the hook! The Rumble!

My nosebleed tickets to the 2003 Royal Rumble ran me about $55-$60.

Sitting near the ring is wayyy overhyped.

Not only is it more expensive, but it's not worth it - especially if you're sat on flat ground.

I sit further back, where I can watch the show without everyone standing every time something exciting happens and I can also get some pretty good pictures. Those tickets are so much cheaper, but I think they're better.

I'm an idiot who paid $400 for my Summerslam ticket, 3 rows from ringside. Was it worth it? No, but at least I got a cool chair out of it!

I've never sat anywhere other then ringside, so I couldnt' tell you how the higher seats are, but 9 out of 10 times, ringside is the way to go.

Raw's are the best, since it's only $60-$80 for ringside, depending on the arena.

And with no doubt your nose was not the only thing bleeding after the PPV was done...

A friend of mine paid about 150 each for tickets to wrestlemania, he was on the floor, only a little ways back and couldn't see shit. He stayed till about the 2nd or 3rd match and left.

I paid 40 dollars a seat, and due my friend having Lions season tickets (yes, there are people that retarded) the presale was before any thing eles. So we were still able to get lower bowl tickets, we were right next to the huge stage, and the view was great. So really it can work either way.
