Ticket Bought, Paycheck Lost: Overseas Concerts from Yekaterinburg
At 49, Shakira looks stunning!
If you haven«t had your vacation yet and still haven»t decided where to go this summer, here are a few great ideas. Let«s note right away: these trips will cost a pretty penny, but you»ll certainly have plenty of memories.
The record holder for ticket prices is the sports event — UFC Fight Night. It will take place in Serbia for the first time on August 1. The main bout under MMA rules will feature Serbian Uros Medic and American Daniel Rodriguez. Just to get into this fight, you«ll have to shell out 146,970 rubles (about $1,633 at current rates) — and that»s with a discount! The full ticket price is 163,300 rubles (about $1,814), not including accommodation and travel to Belgrade. A one-way flight from Yekaterinburg in early August costs about 40,000 rubles (about $444).
Turkish pop superstar Tarkan is asking from 41,953 rubles (about $466 at current rates) for a concert on November 27 in the UAE (without discount — 46,615 rubles, about $518). Much cheaper than the fights, but for some, that«s half a paycheck! By the way, a plane ticket from Yekaterinburg for that date costs about 30,000 rubles (about $333).
Listening to Shakira«s fiery songs in Egypt will cost 28,620 rubles (about $318 at current rates) if you just want to have fun on the dance floor. Seats near the stage are sold for 60,840 rubles (about $676). The Colombian diva will perform on November 28. One-way plane tickets from Yekaterinburg are sold for an average of 30,000 rubles (about $333).
Take a look at what other events you can spend all your savings on (or maybe even take out a loan). Save the picture — it might come in handy!
Of course, you can also spend your vacation in the south of Russia. The fuel crisis, by the way, doesn«t scare everyone. Take a look, for example, at how a family from Yekaterinburg drove to Gelendzhik (a resort city on the Black Sea coast).
A summer vacation in the Ural capital is much more budget-friendly. Fortunately, the weather has improved here. A big event is ahead — City Day. Stars will also come for it — see for yourself!
