I agree. Surely tales rhymes better with tails? Or is that some American pronunciation that fixes it??

So far for me buying tickets is major cluster F! TM is giving me the same sec 202 row u as the travel zoo link did. WOW! Maybe they're not selling mezz seats? Hmmmmm?

[Butcher King]

I'll wait a bit. I don't want to be locked out of TM for looking for tix too many times.

[AndyK]

Ticketmaster really don't make the buying process easy do they! Good luck!!!

I guess the producers think it will work .. and to be fair I think a lot of people enjoy those kind of "evenings with" which are a mix of humour, interaction, and songs/music. Certainly I loved Storytellers, and I think this should be even better .. remember he's not simply talking about the songs in this show, but telling stories and answering questions on his whole career

But perhaps I am forgetting something in my argument above; the tellZ is probably a large part of the entertainment in a sense if done effectively .....

Having seen Meat in Storytellers, he'll do this effectively imo

[LucyK!]

Absolutely he will...just with an S not a Z!

[Butcher King]

No luck. They are not selling mezzanine. I even called TM and they can pull up tix in mezz. I guess they want to sell the higher priced tickets first. I can't figure it out. Bummed for now.

Its beyond irritating as the alliteration is just obvious ! It can only be because there is a similar name / trade name / legal reason why it can't be Rocktales & Cocktails ?

If so you'd think they'd just come up with a different naming concept rather than what now appears to be an awkward compromise

I guess we will just have to file it under "you can't please the entire peanut gallery"

I for one am incredibly excited that I am going to get to attend 3 shows with good friends. No Meat and Greets (see what I did there) but am super excited just to be in the building.

I'm trying not to me picky but I'm going with my best friend who has scoliosis and can't stand for more than 20 minutes at a time. That's why I'm looking for 1st row mezz. I've been to concerts in the past with him and he puts on a good face but I know he's in pain. Makes me feel bad.

I know this is a different experience and not a concert format. Do you think people will be standing during this show? Maybe I should just buy the tickets and hope no one stands all night in front of us.

That's a shame about your friend I get the impression that since it is a different type of show (i.e. not your typical ML concert), people will be in their seats. I honestly don't know if they'll sell out or not, so if I were you I'd go ahead and get your tickets now.

Thanks Vicki. I think you're right. I can't imagine people standing during the Q&A section of the show.

I don't think people will stand. In Storytellers Meat sat for some of the time, the audience sat most of the time, standing to applaud or some for a few key songs. Casino audiences in the US aren't known for having legs Meat will go from answering questions to song and back again .. nothing like a concert.

I'd go for the best you can find in the orchestra ... a little more but worth it. I wouldn't go for mezzanine for anything but cost reasons, and the orchestra would be worth the extra imo

Who knows what we get untill your there

Got them! I actually went back to the Travel Zoo site and bought them there because they are the same exact seats TM is selling. Usually you have to compromise when going through discount ticket sites {nose bleeds or far side seats.} Not this time! I saved about 20% off the tickets. Because of that I bought better orchestra seats. Woo hoo! Very exciting!

Looks like Travel Zoo has extended their discount until Aug 7th.

Excellent Congratulations !!!

[duke knooby]

this clip has absolutely nothing to do with meat

it's a little interview with garth brooks, about when he came out of retirement to do a series of vegas shows

I found it quite interesting

Lol, ok, but I'll have to hold on to them for a good many years before you can win them
