The presale/premium tickets should not be a hedge against not getting a ticket in the general sale any more than a general sale ticket being a hedge for getting a low-income ticket.
Totally Agree.
I missed last year and was surprised to see such a significant price increase. I thought vehicle passes were $40, 2 years ago? I may be wrong, but that's still over $500 just to get past Gate. That is getting to a point where many people will find it hard to justify the expense.

From the BM Ticket page: "A 9% Nevada Live Entertainment Tax will be added to the price of all tickets and $8 of the $12 per ticket service fee. Will Call delivery is the only delivery method subject to this tax. The $12 Will Call delivery charge will be inclusive, meaning additional tax will not be added for choosing this delivery method ($1.08 of the $12 fee is built-in tax)."

The first and second sentences seem to contradict each other. Does this mean that tickets that are shipped aren't subject to the 9% tax?

I haven't had an easy time of it for the last couple. You'll find me here begging my ass off. (A big 'thank you' to the generous eplayans that saved me in the past.) So, if you and you're wife and you're mother and your insurance agent all manage to get tickets, (for you), keep me in mind. I'll be the one talking sweet and complimenting every poster. That's Ratty..........R-A-T-T-Y Thanks in advance.
Same same. Swinging away to see if I can get 4 misses in a row, since I'm not going to bother actually starting my planning until I know I can get in the gate. :lol:
