I wanted to leave before it even really got started. Kept waiting for it to get better and it never did. After the obvious plant of a costumed 'fan' bearing a banner printed on a sheet it went downhill FAST and never recovered. To think I paid $85 for a ticket makes me sick. It's the last time I will ever let someone else choose the show I see.

You can find all the details at his indispensable site. Just think: The only part of Echelon opening on schedule is a McDonald's.<BR/><BR/>David McKeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-65993390822463647482008-11-25T10:34:00.000-08:002008-11-25T10:34:00.000-08:00ChrisR: I'm going to respectfully disagree.

If Angel and others are going to proclaim their success without offerng the sort of data that Broadway, the touring concert sector or the the movie business provides, then we're left to examine these sorts of things. And it appears to be relatively objective. You've got to be in great demand for there to be a secondary market for your tickets, it would seem to me.THE STRIP PODCASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593322167326380577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-39824932228730378992008-11-25T01:38:00.000-08:002008-11-25T01:38:00.000-08:00ChrisR- It is comparing apples to apples with the ...ChrisR- It is comparing apples to apples with the apples being tickets. Not saying who is better or who is more popular, Bette or Chriss or Raw Talent or Scarlett. It is saying who sold more tickets.<BR/>Sure, it is a bit scewed. Scarlett plays to a much smaller theater than Love so obviously Scarlett will never be on that list. the point is to give an indication of how ticket sales are doing. If a show was consistantly on the list and now suddenly is not, something is wrong.Troy in Las Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17884019061738598038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-1495413737066463512008-11-25T01:32:00.000-08:002008-11-25T01:32:00.000-08:00It indeed is about the new McDonalds sort of acros...It indeed is about the new McDonalds sort of across the street from Riviera.<BR/>The place looks pretty awesome.Troy in Las Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17884019061738598038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-32901851995845153582008-11-24T22:44:00.000-08:002008-11-24T22:44:00.000-08:00I got that invite as well, and am also clueless as...I got that invite as well, and am also clueless as to what it is.

If there's not much on sale, then I can't see the market getting a high ranking. It's hard to work out if that's a good indication of Believe's audience.<BR/><BR/>Though I can realise there's few other sources to get solid facts for you to report on.<BR/><BR/>I'm no Criss Angel fanboy... or even Cirque fanboy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936358163391574831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-64123030558986175332008-11-24T20:04:00.000-08:002008-11-24T20:04:00.000-08:00I'm not positive, but I think it has something to ...I'm not positive, but I think it has something to do with that new super space-age looking McDonalds by what could have one day been Echelon.
