has anyone got the link for the Tix4tonite board photos people post up ??? i cannot remember if Blue Man Group now appears there. if it does i would be surprised if it was a 50% discount.

personally i would wait and see if they are for sale at tix4tonite . if they are not you should have no trouble buying full price tickets from the box office .

I saw the show in Toronto and it is certainly different and very entertaining

This was the last one I saw though was quite some time ago...BMG was available this day, at least - but about 20% off...then the service charge on top of that.

If it was a must do - I would probably book it if it were me - but I've occasionally seen deals on travelzoo, etc...so they are out there sometimes.

We saw BMG in London and loved it - but we got £20 tickets from lastminute.com - even got to be part of the show. The Vegas ticket prices put me off a bit given how little we paid to see it here - I do know the shows differ from city to city, but seems quite a lot to me compared to £20.

Just a quick heads up for anyone looking to go to Vegas over Xmas and New Year. Went past my local Thomas Cook travel agent today and they were advertising 14 nights, leaving on 24th Dec for £599, room only (from Man).

Now I know the prices in the window never seem to be true so I've been on the Thomas Cook site and you can get a fortnight for just over £600, although the included accommodation is Mardi Gras (presume it's not up to much). A bit more digging and you can get Flydrives for under £500 with Thomas Cook, which didn't seem too bad over Xmas and New Year.

Anyway, maybe worth a look for anyone looking to get away at Xmas, hope it helps someone out.

Best Buy, Circuit City or Fry's for the camera (and possibly the iPod, though I know the Apple store at Fashion Show Mall has been suggested for iPod's too).

To get an idea of prices check https://www.bestbuy.com or https://www.circuitcity.com - you can view their weekly ads online (use zipcode 89109)...I know at least with Circuit City you can check stock levels at each store to see if what you want is in stock or not (we did this when we bought our last digital camera).

We bought our Zen mp3's from Walmart, they were cheaper than anywhere else. We took the 203 bus from beside the fashion show mall to Rainbow Blvd. ($1.25 each way) The Zen was about half price it was in the UK. I also got a new Sony memory stick for an extremely good price. (I assume the cameras will be good value too.)

I'm not sure what exactly these webbooks are - but in general electronics are much cheaper in the US.
