Arab Stars Want to Take Your Money

Few years ago when the economy was doing well, a ticket for a concert for an Arab singer on a new year party cost upward of a 1000 dollar. Most Arab tourists hit Lebanon for their awesome new year parties. This year the economy is not doing so great, the prices are not a 1000 dollar a pop, but they are still not exactly cheap. the 2010 prices range was $150 to $700 US dollars per ticket. Of course you get dinner with that, but unless they are feeding you white truffles, then this is not worth it. Here is some prices as reported by Elaph.

1. George Wassouf and Amal Hijazi New Year concert in Casino Lebanon, $300-$1000 a pop
2. Elissa and Fadel Shaker concert in L'oreal Hotel $ 300-$800 a ticket.
3. Elissa and Wael Kfoury and creepy comedian Basim Fagaly $ 300-$850 a ticket.

5. Haifa Wahbe and Raghib Alama, "the party of the year" costs $350-$700.
6. Yara and Majid Al Mohandis concert $250 a pop.
7. Faris Karam and Ayman Zabeeb, for those who want Debke $400-$800
