fanMAIL: Is Janet Jackson serious with these ticket prices?
Pop Diva Janet Jackson, 44, announced her intimate concert tour on Monday (Jan. 3). Janet will play smaller venues and allow her rabid fans the opportunity to choose the songs she performs.
But all of that intimacy and privilege comes at a steep price that most fans simply can’t afford.
Miss Jackson’s “Up Close and Personal Tour” kicks off in Houston, Texas, on March 4. She will play 20 dates in 14 states. The ticket prices range from $122 for the nosebleed section to $600 for prime orchestra seats.

Hey Sandra,
This is NEVESNANNA. Hope all is well with you. (Happy New Year). Question…and answer…because your opinion is important
….Is Janet Jackson SERIOUS WITH THESE TICKET PRICES? I went on line to look at purchasing tickets for her show when she comes to DC … IS SHE SERIOUS WITH THIS SHYT? The least expensive ticket is $122.00 and its damn near on the ROOF of Constitution Hall!

Oh wow.
I was happy when I heard she was coming to Phoenix, but I won’t be paying those prices.
I guess Janet has to make her money that way since she’s not performing at stadiums and arenas.
aww hell nah, ill just watch the low quality video when someone youtubes it..
If Beyonce and Rihanna can ask and obtain it…why wouldn’t Janet? I saw Janet wow…10 years ago and paid $125 and I was in the 4th row!
Maxwell tried that same ish…Janet puhleeze aint nobody checkin for you like that. Try again bew!
Excuse me but these ticket prices are way too high for a stiff performance. I love BEY and wouldn’t pay that much to see here and I know she would put on a better show
those prices need to be adjusted ASAP. Only crazed stans would pay that much.
Wow, those are MSG prices, no not even. Well I wont be going anyway
Love you Janet but that’s too much money to part with for a concert.
yuck! that crotch shot is NOT the business!
I hadn’t planned on going….hell I didn’t know she was going on tour. Didn’t she just have a failed tour recently?
Anywho….u either pay or u don’t
Hmm I didn’t see prices that high in Chicago..however, her last tour she did..I attended and she was AWESOME! She still has it. So yes I will be attending this one as well.
lol. the funny part is that she’s performing at the frigging rodeo here… right after the bull wrangling competition.
i wont pay to see her. maybe if i got em free i’d go but.. no.
For A Diva that can’t sing
Ms Jackson if you nasty
I heard that
Some things you NEVER forget…and I will always remember my baby daddy making me stand out in the RAIN to see Janet in 1994…WHY? Cause she was at the amphitheatre(ie outside) here and HIS words “I paid $125 for us to be here…we STANDING out here…”
So if LAWN seats were approx $60 apiece in 1994…how much are seats supposed to BE in 2011? Just asking…
I wouldn’t pay $122 now either but still…
And Constitution Hall! is small
Where did this “fan” find these prices? Ticketmaster has them much cheaper!
US $68.00 – US $149.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $14.25 Fees =
US $82.25
US $149.00 Ticket + US $20.35 Fees =
US $169.35

Janet is catering to a certain audience. Obvious the people that are broke and jobless are not her audience.
She is Janet the last talented of the 2nd generation Jacksons, I wouldn’t pay that … f no..but she’s Janet ish!
Really wanted to see Janet. Saw her once in concert a while back and she was amazing but with just getting past the holiday season, can’t justify those ticket prices, especially since I would have to convince my sis to do the same, not feeling going to a concert solo.
I have never pd that much to see Maxwell and I always have great seats cause I am a stan!!
If you want to see Janet….go to ticket master…That “fan” must have went to a scalper for those prices..! Don’t believe the hype they are not that expensive!
US $68.00 – US $149.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $14.25 Fees =
US $82.25
US $149.00 Ticket + US $20.35 Fees
US $169.35
I always pay around $150 to see Bey, i’m going no higher than that for Janet but I will be there!

Thank you. You all have to remember what site we are on. You have to do your own research. Did anyone else try looking up the prices for themselves rather than going off of what Sandra, I mean this “fan” is telling us?

Well her tickets are $75.00 her in Houston because she will be playing for the Houston Live stock and Rodeo. They go up to $465
@ LILRED
Those are probably brokered seats the “fan” is talking about. I was thinking Janet had to be smoking some of that good stuff to try and make people pay $600/ticket. The prices you listed seem more accurate.
Plus, I just read Kingstonn’s comment and if she’s performing here in Houston at the rodeo they typically never ask more than $40 for those tickets. I reallly think they only want $20. So, this “fan” must be trying to go through a broker.
Thats not true, the ticket prices for the Borgatta the highest is 135.00 so I know that those ticket prices are a broker site, Janet has never been outrages with her ticket prices.
that just Houston b/c NYC dates got tix for 59.50
The tickets prices are high enough. No need to stretch the truth. If the venue is small I doubt there are nose bleed seats. In any event, I’d pay it for Jan if I had it. The $120 that is. Mike could have gotten the $600, but she ain’t Mike.
Hey everyone!!!
I missed you all!!
WOW!!! Janet going hard with those prices!!!!
Child please those prices are not the real deal.. No way no how..
SHE’S A BAD ISH, SHE CAN DO WHAT THE “F” SHE LIKES
Pulled these prices off google.com *Janet Jackson tickets* ctfu lol
Janet’s been around her billionaire boyfried so much that she thinks that’s just a little bit of money.

If you log onto the LINK that Sandra posted…it’s the DAR Constitution Hall website, and click on her show and ticket link, the ticket prices are THERE. That’s where I found them. So maybe Constitution Hall is scalping tickets….
…and who said I was a “FAN”….?
Apparently Janet had a spiritual session with Wendy Williams and SHE decided regarding these tickets prices to…
GO HARD or Just Stay at HOME !!!

I hate when people put out false info just to get attention, If your not a fan why do you care. You cannot buy tickets via the constitution center they direct you to ticket master which has the highest ticket at 145 the cheapest at 95.00 http://www.dar.org/conthall/tickets.cfm
Awwww Janet was my very first concert. Black Cat.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Janet again. She’s a consistently good performer. But I will say, her costumes have been really awful lately. Who’s designing her outfits these days??
@nevesnanna: I believe you……
Those ticket prices could be from some third party vendor who always up the prices so they can get a nice cut. There’s always a big difference here when you look up prices directly at the box office where the event is going to be at vs you looking them up online, where everybody and their moma is selling them at a much higher rate.
all hail The Queen!!! I love Janet!
@NESIA…thanks….
All someone had to do was click on the LINK…
http://hallboxoffice.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?stype=0&kwds=Janet%20Jackson the link is to HALL TICKET BROKERS not the Hall itself
Saw Janet at the Velvet Rope tour in 1996 (I think- I still wear my concert t-shirt all the time as a bed shirt), and my mama paid about $90 for my ticket then and we were in the middle mezzaine.
JANET….WORKED!! She EARNED every bit of the money she got in that arena that night, honey! If her tickets are REALLY going up to $600, I don’t blame her! I’d pay up to about $400 to see her. After all…I did spend $300+ to sit on a the floor (8 rows back) at Bey’s B’Day concert so Janet….can definitely get my money!

Yeah. What she said.
(adjusts MJ & JJ stan hat)
These are not the official ticket prices these are scalper prices. Pre-sale starts 1/14 and general public starts 1/15….. These are not face value prices.
I’ll be there–actually, I’ll be seeing it in Vegas. Luvs me some J.
Yea, I’ve noticed Auntie Sandra is getting a bit lazy in her research over the last several articles. Misinformation, retractions, updates for wrong info, etc. Whassup with that Ms Rose? Sometimes it’s worth it to wait and get all the facts before rushing blog entries just to be first. Imma just sayin..
that’s nothing her tic prices in the atl start at $152.00 for the nosebleeds and the floor goes up to $942.00.

Well for DAR Constitution Hall here in DC, the ticket prices on livenation start at $68 and the highest is $148 and that doesn’t include tax and fees. I don’t see anything above $180 so IDK where people are getting these prices from. Perhaps if they go to a legitimate ticketing website, the prices wouldn’t be so high. *sips tea*
