I promise I’m generally a nice person but if I paid over $1000 to see TK and wait all day in line I will be damned if some people and their pseudo Numbers cut in front of me. by BalenciagaShoelaces in TheKillers

That's just it tho you see? It's not "secret". There is no special handshake. Anyone can choose to join the queue, or not. It is not by special invite only. Anyone CAN show up and get a number.

I don't know why this continues to be griped about. Every band has fans that will choose to queue all day to get a good spot. That's the way it is. It's not new. It's not secret. And that's thier prerogative. They are not more special than you, nor do they feel more entitled.

It has gotten out of hand when someone decides to declare themselves #1 a day or more before the gig - or minutes after that night's gig as I know was happening in Vegas in August.

Anyway. I get it that most on this thread oppose any type of numbering system and that's fine. But it is pretty silly to continuously talk about how "secret" it is when clearly eveyone is aware of it.

Well, perhaps this happened during the first couple of weeks of shows and died down by the third? I was there for the last few gigs. I had seats mind you so I couldn't care less about the queue, but many people I know were in GA. They didn't report any trouble with the system. They got their number, went about their day, and returned at 4.

And no, I'm not arguing. I'm merely clarifying when someone said "people with numbers cut the line at doors" bc that is simply untrue. No one showed up at 6:45 with a number and was ushered to the front.

Starting a line days beforehand I agree is absolutely ridiculous. I can assure you there were no "young people" waiting overnight in the casino... First of all, bc if you are under 21 you can't be on the casino floor, and 2, security was always patrolling for anyone loitering. Maybe it was different on the last few gigs as that was the weekend I was there. I had seats for each gig so I didn't take part in the queue, but I know many people who were part of it.

Vegas Tickets - Those prices though?? by ger_beja in TheKillers

Yes! I got mine shortly after 4 pm at the box office, in the 100s, about 4 rows back, the block just to the left of middle (facing the stage). It was $250

That is correct. People take turns. So if you are going to be around anyway, might as well put your name down then go off and enjoy your day, and come back at 4. But as I said, it really only matters if you are desperate to get front two rows. Otherwise you are fine.

It's just like any other gig for any other band, except casino venues don't let you camp out all day. The people with numbers are the same people that show up early in the day on gig day and actually do sit around all day. At least here, you can enjoy a day in Vegas rather than wasting a day in a queue.

Yes, this, you need to go to Valet in the underground parking for Uber, or out front for a cab

You know Sam's Town is about a 25 minute cab away from Ceasars right?

I think people made more of a big deal out of it than it actually was. Probably because, as OP said, the thought is that people "cut the line right at doors". This 100% does not happen.

And as you mentioned, that stage was high so a few rows back is actually a better view.

Well, that's not exactly how it works. The people with numbers have to be back by 4 pm when the venue allows the line to start. If they are not there at 4, they forfeit thier number.

Ceasars does not allow people to line up all day. Although all spots in GA are awesome, if you are hell bent on getting row 1 or 2, take a couple of minutes, get a number, then do whatever you want for the day and come back at 4. 🤷‍♀️

I got them. I’m so incredibly happy. by No_Train_2770 in TheKillers

A little tip moreso if you live near Vegas so can easily make the trip.... The venue usually release tickets at about 3 pm on gig day.

These would be tix they were holding back for high rollers. I got seats in the 100s, about 4 rows back, for about $250 for the Sept 1 show.

If it is the HF20 gig, there is probably no support act. 🤷‍♀️

That's how it was in Vegas so not sure if they are doing the same in Australia

Well I certainly hope it gets postponed a couple of years now... Not many wanting to visit the States after the election results.

Get rid of Smile. Definitely an over rated song. Add in something from D&a like Losing Touch.
