For the guys who have been to see KA, what are the seats like at the front?

I'm looking to book those steal tickets at Ticketmaster for Sept, but they tend to be row C but seats 3 and 4 so they're off to the side. Will this be a problem?

Thanks

We went to see Ka when we were there recently and it looks as though everyone of the seats is a great view. The front seats would be pretty awesome I expect, Id try yo get as close to the middle as possible though.

I am SO jealous...but so happy for you. Ka is the show we most want to see but haven't yet gotten around to...one day...please let us know how it is!

Of course I will let you know, was worried two Cirque shows in 3 days was a bit OTT but if I dont see them now I might not, so what the heck! Maybe they will extend the offer, when are you going next?


Alictait, I managed to get row E but it is on the side, I was happy with this though as I have a problem with being in the middle of a row, I cant cope with it and feel much more comfortable on the end/aisle seat so I will have to put up with being on the side. It is annoying with these ticket sites that you cant choose your seat location, just have to keep reselecting incase a more preferable one appears! Anyway, at $59 it was a steal so cant complain :j .

As you know I'm looking to take the wife to vegas when I come back from Afghanistan. Now I can't book a flight till I'm actually home, which at the minute looks like being saturday. So we were planning on travelling on the 13th or 14th for 7-10 days. However I've been following the flight prices of Virgin direct from Gatwick and suddenly today they shot up by £200pp!!! So, does anybody reckon they'll drop again or am I going to have to bite the bullet and shell out an extra £400?

restaurant.com are running a 3-day sale (50% off dining certificates). It's quite unusual for them to do so this early in the month so it may be that some certificates that are normally sold out by the time the sales start each month will be available now.

if anyone is interested the code is FUTURE which is entered at check-out.

Really good deals, some of these...things like a $25 certificate for $5...many of the restaurants are off-strip, but some are on-strip.

i assume you are talking about the 13th and 14th of July ???

i doubt they will now come down to be honest. once they have sold so many seats they ramp the price up for the last remaining seats.

try the miles and money method as described earlier in this thread and see what that saves you.

MY Travel have some late deals available at £320 per person for flight only ( meals removed ect) leaving Manchester for 7 or 14 nights on the 15th July.:T :T . if you cannot book till saturday and this price is difficult to get on the web site with your number of seats , give Airtours a phone call and explain the situation like wydw did

as has been said before anything around £300 direct is pretty good going ....especially mid summer. i,ve payed £290 with BMI going in Dec and i snapped it up quick at that price. where ever you live a few hours drive to save £100's is worth it IMO.why not stay at the airport the night before so you are nice and fresh for your flight. we have booked Bewleys hotel for about £70 ( ranks 2nd of 125 hotels in the whole of manchester!!) http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g187069-d189331-Reviews-Bewley_s_Hotel_Manchester_Airport-Manchester_Greater_Manchester_England.html

i don,t know what the weather is like in Afghanistan at the moment ..but i suspect HOT :cool: !!! so you should be well prepared for the Vegas summer sun . unlike us at home who have only rain and more rain to look forward too all summer :sad: :sad:


..have a great trip :beer: :beer: :beer: !!!

Have you read throught his thread the answers are all here.

I will add though that I am going back again in march next year and I booked my flights about 2 months ago( almost as they were released by Virgin) using miles plus money fare ...£280 from Gatwick.

Miles plus money fare explained in full around post 500

was that 280 including the miles purchase - if so, cracking price
