Beyonce's highly anticipated Vector Arena show in October is shaping as the priciest concert of the year.
Top price for tickets to her Auckland show will be $249.90 for the platinum section with gold general admission on the floor starting at $189.90 and cheap seats going for $99.
That's more expensive than the prices commanded by rock veterans Fleetwood Mac. Their November concerts at the same venue cost between $99 and $199 (with tickets-with-album bundles as high as $223.50) and the band is also offering various VIP packages which will have super-fans forking out as much as $950.
Spring is shaping as a mammoth run for visiting international pop acts in Auckland with One Direction ($99-$129), Rihanna ($99-$139), Justin Bieber ($102-$152) and Taylor Swift ($111-152) all playing multiple nights at Vector Arena. Some of those acts also have top-tier VIP packages, with Rihanna's the most expensive at $550.
Tickets for Beyonce's October 18 show in Auckland go on sale tomorrow via her website before becoming available through livenation.co.nz and ticketmaster from Monday.
