Atlantic City 6/30/05 $253.50 - Page 4

Would probably have to invest $10,000 to get the $250 tickets.

Maybe they'll change their minds when the show doesn't sell.

Apparently 3 is the magic number...yes?

I doubt it. The guarantees have already been set. It's not like the two of them are going to travel by bus.

Oh, I did, but I didn't expect $253.50. Just for the simple fact that they would not have one band, they'd have two. One for her, one for him. It's going to be the most costly dud in the past couple of years.

Plus, for most people, going to concerts isn't cheap in the first place. Parking, tour merchandise/useless crap, food and drink, travel expenses, etc. Add all of that to the ticket prices and no one is going to want to venture out for this cash grab that they're trying to call entertainment.

I want to think there's a method to her madness. Getting back in the studio with FM, ASAP?

Otherwise, there's such a thing as saying NO or ENOUGH!

I think she does want to get into the studio with FM asap. I still think she's feeling external pressure and the weight of a deal she made on her shoulders but I think her time with FM made her realize she can't wait to work from the ground up with them. IMO, this whole Vegas thing will be enough of a solo jaunt for her that she'll want to go back to working with them asap. Either FM or solo...we can't loose...just as long as the ticket prices are never this expensive again and her album isn't like, dipped in gold first.

My dog takes more entertaining ****s.

Back in 1998 at A Day In The Garden, i'm fairly certain Don used Stevie's band and backing vocalists (with the exception of Sharon--Mindy and Jana both sang backup for him as memory serves). I just think this is a quick cash grab as we've all been saying before we heard the ticket prices.

But look at the bright side. There will be plenty of tickets for the phone book people. Unless Henley's fans are all five percenters.

Hold on.

I just went to the Borgata site, and to the Event Centre. there is no sign of this show. June 30, '05 is Comedy Club. I searched, too, and came up with nothing.

Where did The Legacy get their info? I'm not registered there, so I can't access the info. There's nothing on Pollstar, either.

This and a few other things make me wonder if they'll use the same band.

I can't believe the band wasn't set at the end of last month. Is is yet?

Is Henely still touring? Are they waiting for his input?

For such an expensive ticket this sounds like a fiasco waiting to happen.
If I need a Stevie fix this year, Vegas is starting to look pretty good.

I'd venture a guess the Legacy info is mistaken.

She said it was confirmed to her via email.

I usually don't bitch about pricing...I live in NY and prices here are always ridiculous, so I'm kind of immune--but (if it's true) it's disgusting.
Truly, if I had known this, I would not have bought a freaking $175 ticket to see the Eagles this week and would have saved the money to see Stevie and Don.
And, the lovely part is, the really fabulous seats will be given as comps to high rollers.
Blech.

Let's hope so.

I wonder from whom. I hope it's not true. Honestly, if the top tix on this tour are going to be $250 US, I'm going to blow the wad and go to Vegas. At least I'll see Stevie solo. I just wish they'd get out some confirmed info about Don and Stevie soon... Oh. As I'm writing this, I'm realizing they likely won't confirm any Don and Stevie until AFTER Vegas, so as not to affect ticket sales (as in, oh, if she's touring later this summer, I'll skip Vegas...)

God, I hate the music/concert industry sometimes.

Jan at the Legacy said she knows someone in or close to the Henley/Eagles camp - and was notified.... I, in a way hope it's mistaken too... just because it doesn't start the tour off on a positive note with ANYone....

I had the same thought... Once May gets closer - or her Vegas shows near sell-out, we'll probably hear more.

If the end of June is the beginning of this joint tour... It should be short. The Eagles have dates booked through August in California beginning on Aug 13th. Don himself has a couple of April solo dates, but nothing beyond that... So basically, May and June are wide open... And July if they are planning on getting this thing under way shortly after Vegas.

But if dates were going to happen at the end of May, you'd think tickets would have been announced already. A month and a half isn't really that much time to sell these venues, no matter the size, if ticket prices are going to be steep.
