If you are a provider and want to find a gentlemen to take you a concert, how do you go about it?   I want to be taken to the Rolling Stones on June 24...  

It sounds like fun, Andrea, who would not want to go if they could.  Better yet, ask me!

With any good seats to The Rolling Stones concert in the DC area going for up to $1,000 and some are even more. To ask a guy to lay out 2 grand to take you to a concert, your pushing it. Hey your not his wife or GF, remember that.

On Wednesday I heard seats were $500 per and today they are probably higher; I guess someone could take you but you'd better be willing to do an overnight

Ah Andrea -- I have tickets and would love to take you, but I am taking my daughter and her boyfriend.  And, yes, tickets are ridiculously expensive.

I would never ask for anyone to spend that kind of money on me.. not even someone that I was married too.... I was asking for maybe the $400 tickets.. not even the $600 tickets.

If I was a guy and I really liked the group (and I could afford the tickets) but didnt want to go alone, I would definitely go to TER to find myself a fun date

Need more info on what you had in mind...

either lame or obvious with the exception of Jessie's "just ask", which is good, simple and clear.

that the lady will not pay here own way.  I always offer to purchase my own ticket if I ask for companionship to a concert.  Yes, off the clock. Also the gent is also a big fan of the particular artist/band since it is only fun to go to a concert with someone who is a fan.  

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.  I can't imagine you won't have some fans who would love to make that offer.  I don't really understand why anyone would think any private time should be included though.  The off the clock time seems like more than a reasonable trade off.  I would think they could always pay for some private time later.

Yes. Simplicity and clarity is the best wisdom. I think both of you (Andrea and Jessie) know that.

I love the fact that you just tossed this out there!!
I see nothing wrong with your request ( of course, I don't!!) I wanted to go the the Mayweather fight
That just passed on April 4th in Las Vegas. I kept bringing it up in passing and especially to my regulars.
2 weeks before the fight I was given a ticket! And not a nose bleed seat!  
Some may not want to purchase a tic and that's fine... But there are plenty who would love
to help a girl in heels out!! Good luck!!

I'd like to invite both Andrea and Jessie - i will look for three good tix and will let you know if/when i get them.

I would love it if a provider asked me to attend a concert or sporting event with her.  Especially if we planned some playtime after.  How fun would it be at a concert with a beautiful woman anticipating all night what you'll be doing to each other later.  Mmmm......

"Wait, have a personal life too?" means that you have personal interest and a life outside of the hobby. Some of these guys are so use to paying for it that they don't see that. Yeah, its like that dealing with this crowd that always pay to play, LMAO.

The Stones really cut prices on the West Coast when they could not sell out. Maybe they'll do the same here. Glad I saw them in 1977 for $30.00! Most I ever paid for a ticket was $300.00 for the last concert Cream ever did.

Are you helpless, broke or both?

The upper deck ($150) is sold out, plenty of seats available down low ($600+).  The opening two nights of the tour did not sell out. The setlists have been awesome, they are really pulling some nuggets and great guests every night.

Andrea:  I just sent you a PM

But I'm afraid that I would  
be so excited I'd dial the wrong number! lol.

contrary to the negativity and paranoia of some of the responses here i have enjoyed events "out" with Andrea. she has been very fair about such things.  

Thank you for all your feedback on my question.

I hope this works for you  & that you enjoy the concert.

I Finially  got tickets for Cirque du Soleil  -  Quadam in july  took me a long time to get great tickets and no date  the world is cruel  any takers  drop me a line

We are customers last I checked. If you can find some lonely pushover guy to supply you with tix and all you have to do is be his arm candy, then GOOD LUCK.  

I just made plans for this a few days ago. Someone is taking me and it is going to be awesome!

I feel very friendly towards my few providers, but I try to stay very conscious of boundaries and remember (except when "in the moment") that this is a commercial transaction and her time outside our agreed-for space is hers and not mine.
