4) 3/8/14 - Moody Blues | Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ | Avg. Price: $382 | Get-in Price: $245

The Moody Blues will be playing two nights in a row, with the 8th more expensive than the 7th, but that’s still not enough to drop the highest get-in price of any event this week.

This star-studded duo will be playing two shows at Madison Square Garden this week, on Tuesday and Thursday. While Sting and Paul Simon tickets have sold enough for two MSG shows, the get-in price for Thursday night remains relatively inexpensive.
