Hans Zimmer Sun, 18 Jun 2023

Just looking at tickets for Hans Zimmer,

I see he has played at the 3 Arena a few times now, yet I cant understand his pricing,

€116 for Block H

€257 for Block B

€309 for Block F

I like his music but how is he warranting those prices?

Have his previous shows been similar prices and have they been full most importantly, are they worth that sum of money?

Those higher prices are VIP packages where you probably get a "exclusive gift" and VIP laminate for the extra €190. Sure, they're better seats, but not worth paying that much.

Edit: I looked it up - Special VIP Entrance, programme, VIP pass, lanyard, cotton bag.

The only thing is, you need VIP if you want to sit in the Red or yellow areas, the only thing that comes up for standard is the top Green Tier.

The prices over €116 you are posting are for the VIP packages.

if people don’t pay the vip prices they will just lower the prices of those tickets to the regular price.

bringing a 40 or 50 piece orchestra around europe ain’t cheap between travel, accommodation etc

The only reason they're coming up solely as VIP now is because all the regular price tickets in those areas have been sold.

As Fanirish says, if those VIP seats don't sell, they will eventually be sold (sans laminate and tote bag) at normal price.
