Since Neil Diamond last played in Wellington, he has doubled his ticket prices,but he's still a steal compared with the Rolling Stones.

In March 2005 Neil Diamond performed in front of 33000 the tickets of which only cost between $60 and $100.
Sherayl McNabb attended the 2005 concert, "I love Neil Diamond" she said, but she don't know the reason for this high price but may be because value of money increase.She expressed that no matter how expensive the tickets are but you wouldn't like atmosphere where people are drunk and fighting around you-that happened with us in 2005
"I would have expected the price to go up, but $200 is too expensive."
She said that she would consider paying $100, as it would going to be very difficult in tight economy to sell out 33000 tickets this time
Neil Diamond told The Dominion Post last month that he was looking forward to performing Down Under. "The audiences down there are spectacular and any performer wants to get in front of an audience like that. That's what it's all about."
