what does these sentence mean?

[Conchita]

You say that you would give your right arm for something when you want it a lot. In the test sentence, the person wants to go to the concert so badly, they say they would do anything to obtain tickets.

Of course, it's only a figure of speech, which is, after all, what idioms are.
