Let's rock LV.

Evil One · 31 Jul 2013, 10:31

~~~~ing expensive. I seem to remember Meat saying the show was quite short as well.

tonyloaf · 31 Jul 2013, 10:47

Still wait to see what Meat has to tell us first tho

GDW · 31 Jul 2013, 11:28

I wonder if Phil, Stu,Alan & Doug are going.

This is the Showroom plan:

Same difference. VIP seating is still at the front. The catwalks will most likely not be there for Meat.

Well yeah but then again if I was paying that kind of money I'd be expecting to get the best seats in front of the stage.

Yes, although I don't see how they're the same difference. The showroom layout makes it look as though (as Julie says) the venue is smaller, and it isn't the same at all .. a quite different layout, with seats in every section being listed on TM, so to say "High rollers front and centre" is a bit of a stretch imo, and the one I posted gives a more accurate picture of where the seats are.

That would be good to see :)

Butcher King · 31 Jul 2013, 15:46

High rollers getting the best seats are a standard practice in all casinos. Doesn't matter if it's LV or Indian casinos. Yes, some tickets are sold to the general public but the casinos reward their regular players generously.

RoknRollJesus · 31 Jul 2013, 15:57

Pity...I really wanted to see him but those prices combined with a $400+ flight and a hotel stay...I just can't afford it.
Its a neat venture...I'm certain that everyone that gets to go will have an amazing time. I just wish we'd had the same "Last at Bat" tour option over here...sigh

Meat did say there's a possibility that he'll be bringing the "Last at Bat" to tour to NY next year ... so fingers crossed we may finally get our chance to see it

This really does sound like a great show, and I wish Meat all the luck in the world with it :

This show has just been confirmed on Meat's official Facebook page - there's a poster up there, etc.

Yep .. and I love the poster

Cherry.Loaf · 31 Jul 2013, 18:38

Hope whoever from the UK that can make it has a wonderful time; there's no way I could justify flying to the US cost wise for at least another year sadly but I cannot wait to hear the setlist!

Butcher King · 31 Jul 2013, 19:03

Someone posted on fb a link to Travel Zoo Pre sale on sale right now. Excluding TZoo it looks like TM's prices are correct.

Wow that is insane prices even for Vegas. I saw Elton John there in 2006 and paid $100 but I was in the 5th row for that show

CarylB · 31 Jul 2013, 20:19

"Row" seems a big misleading actually as the VIP are a choice of table, banquette or row seating .. and even when you book a table seat you get a row number

I think it'll be the casino.
Meat has been booked to play Vegas by the casino. That pretty much makes him an employee of the casino and hotel.
The casino pays the bills and the wages, so the casino can do pretty much what they like, and it wouldn't be good business to offer their own VIP package but allow their employee to offer an alternative (and probably better) package at a cheaper price.

The casino is only interested in the best interests of the casino, and with looking after the people who are going to spend a lot of money with them.
I think a lot of the tickets will be comped to high rollers, but even those who don't get comped, the prices will ensure that the best tickets will be available for the people who gone to Vegas with a suitcase full of money.

That might suck from a fans point of view, but Meat isn't in Vegas to perform for his fans, he's there as an attraction.

If it's a Storytellers type show, then the questions will naturally come from near the front (because A. it's more convenient and natural to talk to the people near you, and B. Because i'd be pretty pissed if I paid £500 for a ticket up front and Meat spent all night chatting to the folks at the back of the room. Casino no like pissed off high rollers) where folk are there because they spend a lot of money at the casino rather than have a intimate knowledge of Meat's work.
That being the case, I can't see the set list veering too far away from the classics.
Most of the high rollers (aka the very rich general public) will only likely have a working knowledge of the greatest hits rather than the more obscure album tracks and B sides.

A very good point

I'm going to win it tonight anyway so I will buy you all a ticket :)
