You've heard that Garth is going to be doing Weekend shows in Vegas at the Encore Theater and if you're excited tickets go on sale this Saturday.
And Garth is being his old cool self. Even thou Steve Wynn (chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts) wanted to charge for seats using a tier system, Garth said no. He wanted seats to all be priced the same, so they are first come first serve. So front row seats and balcony seats cost the same. How much? $125. (well, a $5 service charge and $13 tax = $143/ticket)
You might recall that this is the same way he handled tickets for his concerts back in his touring days (and Steve Wynn says they have taken measures so scalpers won't be able to rip you off!) Garth says, “We've always been a one-ticket-price person. If your'e in the rafters, if you're down in the front seat, and it's all about just the draw. And I feel lucky for people to show up.”
Garth will be doing four shows a week - 15 weekends a year - one concert Friday, two Saturday, and one Sunday. The first five weekends have been booked - one weekend in December, two in January, and two in February.
The first show is December 12th - and tickets go on sale this Saturday.
