So fans are in the wings and Meat's faced with people drinking, talking and ordering food in front of the stage...

:twisted: 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. :nuts:
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.

Very true. $95 for a Vegas show is pretty reasonable. FWIW, the venue looks tiny- even a "crap" seat is probably very good, unless one abslutely needs to be in the front row.

A very good point :up:
