I would like to edit mine, but I don’t want in any way shape or form for something to get screwed up for some reason, not that I’d ever know :), but just going to let it ride and see what happens tomorrow and I guess if I don’t get lucky, I’ll be in the TM verified presale pool??

Considering the same.
 
They need big names that can fill those seats up and pay off the amount of money spent on this thing. It’s going to be difficult to beat U2, though. :wink:

They should have also reduced the capacity for Postcards from Earth, unless they’re appealing to the folks who are in town and want to catch a show at the last minute because they don’t know what else to do.

They, uh, did reduce capacity
 
The issue with the Postcard show, and why I was kinda stunned they put that on sale before U2 - is that it's pretty difficult for people to see it as anything more than just a big IMAX.

You're only seeing even U2 fans now come around to the idea that this is a bit more than that... and apparently there was a media showing do the test facility recently that wowed folks.

But - yea - you're still going to struggle to get people to buy in until people see this place in action.

I think it'll do fine once that happens... but for now? Woof - awful.

And, y’know, $200 for a fuckin’ movie??
 
I found a nice Marriott nearby the sphere if I found right address. Google makes it seem sphere is by itself.

It's built on property behind The Venetian and Palazzo.

Only thing I'd say about off strip brand name hotels is that they're far less walkable than being on Strip, and often more expensive.

But if you get a good rate and don't mind cabbing it everywhere then go nuts.

Make sure it's a normal Marriott and not some timeshare property that will require you to sit and listen to a presentation for 8 hours.

side note... the ticket sales for Postcard From Earth right now appear to be spectacularly bad.

Yeah I've looked at some of them to get a gander at the TM seat map and woof.
Might be something that folks will be more inclined to do on a whim while there rather than buy in advance, but right now it's bad. Of course nobody knows anything about the show really yet so that's a factor.
If the first folks who see it start raving, things should pick up. But those prices seem awful high to me. Seems like something that should cost like 20 bucks or so.

Countdown to discount.
 
Fuckin’ clerks hob knobbing and knob polishing his way down the strip with abandon. Stretch limo, coke, Duals on repeat…
 
Just had terrible nightmare that Bono and edge try to play some Spider-Man songs and fall to their deaths doing some bad choreography. Like that joke song about fucking shoes.

I don’t like that dates got added. It makes it harder to get tickets in a way via the request system as I don’t know which shows may be getting less requests. I’d prefer it broken up. Give time to plan and react to what happens.

Odds are if there were only 5 shows being drawn tomorrow, lots of folks shut out. With 12, I think that gives the Ultra ana DeVaul priority access groups a great shot.

DeVaul priority about to go off
 
Most people aren’t as crazy as some of us. Most requests I bet will be for first 5 shows. And less for added 7 shows. But I don’t know if I want to change my picks or not.

Headache doesn’t care as he said he can’t go to 7 added dates. Irony is now we all have a headache.
