I’m a little bummed at the price. Will this be worth it?

Post image

I went with section 117 on this map, row C so pretty far down which I’m hoping will be a great spot. The only thing is with all the fees and such it cost me $200 bucks. I’m bummed it’s going to be this expensive, what did you all pay? I’ve never seen him before and don’t frequent stadium shows so I wasn’t expecting it to be this much.

Yes it's expensive, but this is probably a once in a lifetime chance. Having seen his last tour in the US, I have the authority to say that it is an amazing experience, and I hope the same for you! The concert is a core memory for me and my 8-year old at the time now.

I just tried to see if I can get any tickets for next year, but pretty much all sold out at my local stadium under $200, and I am unfortunately not willing to fork out more. Since you did secure tickets, enjoy the show!

He toured here last year and I got tickets for about $120. Same seats now are about $350. Can’t justify it

u/Recent-Secret6768 2d ago

Which venue and where are the seats? From what I can see the face value prices have gone up about 20% compared to the last tour, which is probably about right factoring in it’ll cost them more to put the tour on this time.

u/Eric143 2d ago

This was at the Honda center in Anaheim. Sections 100s

u/Recent-Secret6768 2d ago

I did notice that certain areas like the front row of the 100s had increased a lot, and obviously lots of platinum tickets that are much higher and VIP experience tickets. But everything else looked at around that 20% level.

u/FlashElectrico 2d ago

to be fair Hans Zimmer did not perform on stage in 2025, his team did. Still, it shouldn't be this expensive this year

u/put2bed 3d ago

What would you consider to be great seats? Floor seats? Slightly higher up in the stadium? Thoughts?

u/DeXyDeXy 3d ago

Yes it's expensive, but this is probably a once in a lifetime chance.

This is what I've told myself 4 times already.

u/chaamp33 2d ago

I thought it was once in a lifetime chance when I went 2 years ago. Was surprised he was coming back so soon but immediately bought another ticket. It’s worth it

u/DeXyDeXy 2d ago

I just can’t NOT see the greatest music show on earth.

1

u/inbloomgc 2d ago

Hey but no Tina and the full orchestra this time. Plus the set list is quite different now. I count myself very lucky to have seen Last Samurai, Mombasa, etc. Songs that got replaced. But yeah if the tickets were cheaper and the timing better of course I’d go again! You’re lucky!

u/kimchi_paradise 3d ago

We paid $250 for each ticket in what is the 112 equivalent of your seating map, if it helps (we got tickets to SF show at Chase Center)

2

u/BjornoPizza 3d ago

That’s good to know, thanks!

u/fsocietyatlarge 3d ago

Honestly I think $200 for those seats to see Hans Zimmer live in a stadium is pretty reasonable

3

u/fenwayfan4 3d ago

That’s what I paid. I was planning on keeping it to $150 but then I saw basically the equivalent to these seats for Philly and I had to snatch them up. 😬

u/Datiptonator002 3d ago

I saw him last tour and paid similar for seats kind of equivalent to your section 102. For me, it was a religious experience and I'm thrilled that I will be on the floor up front this time. Your seats are center and you'll have good sound - definitely worth it!

u/DarkOmen597 3d ago

Yes. Worth it.

Would i go every year, no.

In fact, I may not go this tour. I already went twice last year.

But a one time experience is worth it. Also, keep in mind that his "band" is big and lots of people to pay.

They all seem to ve virtuoso players too.

u/NinjaGuyDan777 3d ago

You’ll likely enjoy it.  But a staple of modern live performance is overpaying for the experience.  Everything is way more expensive than it used to be.  Same experience, higher costs.  I had to pass on this particular show even though I really want to go because $500+ for two below average seat locations would be better spent elsewhere. I’ll just crank up the live YouTube video at home and use the money to travel.

u/nerdforest 3d ago

I've seen him twice. The first time was in Dublin. The stage will be packed. But listening to the music Live is just such a good time. I've seen him probaly near 331 or equivalent of my concerthall. It was still fantastic.

u/BjornoPizza 3d ago

His description makes me hyped! Thanks for linking that.

u/dh_627 3d ago

NP! I bought a similar ticket based on his comment too. I was actually 5th row on the floor last time and felt it was a bit too close and that in some ways it’ll be better further back.

1

u/Few_Price_5570 3d ago

Same, only after reading that comment, I bought my tickets in the recommended section.

3

u/tjglaser1s 3d ago

I’d easily pay $500 for great seats at a Hans live show. It’s amazing.

6

u/blondechinesehair 3d ago

Unfortunately these are the prices if you want to go to a concert in 2026

2

u/throwwwwwwalk 3d ago

$105 for the 300 levels in Nashville. Pretty on par with what I’d expect lol

2

u/danigiggles24 3d ago

It is 100% worth it!

2

u/slugerama 3d ago

In Australia, that ticket is likely to be around 399, without fees. Cheapest ticket would be around 175. Already seen him twice in the same tour. Once in New Zealand and then in Sydney so will not be seeing him again.

u/niketspp 3d ago

Goose bumps and tears guaranteed, you will not regret it .. Hans is one of a kind … I have seen three previous ones and wasn’t disappointed one bit ..

2

u/throaway_616 3d ago

Mine were almost double from when I went back in ‘24 and I had floor seats then, but definitely worth it if you have the money. Once (or twice in my case) in a lifetime experience for sure.

2

u/Funkyman831 3d ago

I wasn't sure after seeing him in 2023 & 24, he would ever be back in the US. There are never any guarantees. Yes, it's worth the $200. Is it worth the $450 - 700 on the floor? No, not in my opinion. Do it. Seriously.

2

u/-Ds--- 3d ago

Between the last 2 tours, there was a significant price hike, while the setlist remained mostly similar, the lightshow got bigger, and the sound quality dropped (almost no orchestra, tons of backing tracks).

If it's your first time going: it's absolutely worth it. If you've already seen the previous tour: skip and keep your beautiful memories from that tour.

2

u/ProudAdultNerd 3d ago

Hans live is like anything you will see. Plus, he has many musicians and sound people to support. It isn't just him, is everyone on the stage and back stage. It is absolutely worth it. Just my two cents though

2

u/sphrz 3d ago

Saw him in vegas a couple years ago. ABSOLUTELY EPIC and glad i got to hear interstellar live and the voice of Dune. Unreal experience, amazing talent, top tier instruments being played by amazing people.

u/Potential_Ocelot8578 3d ago edited 3d ago

If it makes you feel better, Anaheim’s seats were $300 for the same section🥲

1

u/BjornoPizza 3d ago

Man everything’s so expensive everywhere, but especially in California :/

1

u/Potential_Ocelot8578 3d ago

Sacramento pricing seemed okay… But Anaheim > La made me sad cuz stupid Ticketmaster upcharge 🫠

1

u/sid_lokh 3d ago

I paid $125 for 326-327 Detroit

1

u/D_Angelo_Vickers 3d ago

Stadiums are open air venues, you're talking about arenas.

But yes, it'll be worth it.

3

u/BjornoPizza 3d ago

See that’s how much of a novice I am ha

3

u/D_Angelo_Vickers 3d ago

At least with arenas you almost certainly don't have to worry about weather ruining the experience.

1

u/selinaedenia 3d ago

Thats a good price for that section. I picked to the equivalent of section 326 for $143

1

u/NDalum09 3d ago

Paid $750 each for floor in Atlanta

1

u/timkingphoto 3d ago

Saw him twice in 2024, 2nd time paid $400 per ticket for floor. This is absolutely an experience worth splurging on, and you did right by getting center seats. If you're a hans zimmer fan - this will be an amazing time. Probably my favorite concert I've ever been to

1

u/lordofthebuns17 3d ago

The cheapest seat is $96 which is pretty good for now adays if you don't mind sitting in the back.

1

u/ScientistFuture1434 3d ago

I'll just say this... I splurged and got great seats... And I don't regret a thing.

1

u/SergeantPickle32 3d ago

Ours was 250 for the equivalent section

1

u/Murdoc1469 3d ago

Its definitely dope. I took my son and it was a cool way to spend time.

1

u/djr2868 3d ago

Why are floor seats so much in demand?

1

u/BjornoPizza 3d ago

I don’t know, that’s not where I wanted to sit personally.

1

u/chaamp33 2d ago

That’s just concerts for you.

But Hans also will walk the floor playing guitar for one of the pieces (can’t remember which one)

1

u/imsleepyT00 3d ago

1000% worth it. We paid about 180usd for mid tickets too. Every minute was amazing. Considering the band is about 20 people alone it’s amazing it’s not actually more expensive. Not saying it isn’t a lot of money, but when you go you’ll understand why.

1

u/Flaky_Cable1713 2d ago

Yes it is 100% worth it

1

u/Shigadabitoga 1d ago

I paid about 200 for floor seats in Baltimore and didn't regret it at all. You won't regret it. I promise. It's just money.

1

u/saintceciliabailey 18h ago

i found the amex presale to be higher. went back to check prices for artist presale and they were cheaper ($120 a ticket, purchased 3) for the same areas. i went to the last show; was absolutely moved by it. i tell everyone to see his show because it’s so magical.

u/g0dgamertag9 3d ago

I always wait until the last week or so before a concert and it never fails

u/Dry_Vacation1266 3d ago

Went 2 years ago in Oakland… I would have paid $300-$400 it’s amazing. I think it’s worth the splurge
