* Personally I would not pay $50 to see
her. I am sure she is a great entertainer, but someone has to put a cap
on these ridulous salaries paid these entertainers and the inflated ticket
prices. Gene WA.
* I think whatever the ticket price would
be fine with me, I am a true fan and would love to come to Vegas and see
her. Count me in. Donna S. CA.
* Has the entire City of Las Vegas
gone crazy. Expansions!!! High priced tickets will not pay for
Caesars huge project nor will it drive customers to the door. The only
thing I see is the price of the theater built must command these high prices.
She is good and maybe real good but compared to shows like 'O' no way. If I
were in a position of decision making for them I would feel the ground shaking
under my feet. Economy--Economy--Economy not the right timing to present this
act. Tom E Smith
* I would not pay more than $100 for any
show ticket. Celine would be one that I would pay the $100 to see and I'm sure
that tickets in that price range will be available once the show has settled
in. If not so be it. You have to draw a line in the sand at some point and
$100 is my line. John Durkee
* We would like to see the show, but
those ticket prices are way tooooo much. We have seen shows in Vegas for
many years but the prices, on most shows, have gone out of sight and
something has to be done to curb the outrageous ticket
prices. Ted & Patricia
* I already have my tickets for
May. I am paying $125 per ticket to see her. Caught her show live
on CBS last night and I thought it was great. M. E. C.
* I have been a Celine Dion fan since I
can remember! Everyone else makes fun of her, but I believe she is one
of the very few singers who actually have a true talent. ( It's not all fixed
by computers.) I decided I was going to Vegas in June and check out her show;
I figured about $50.00 a ticket, but what I found to be true was an OUTRAGEOUS
ticket price. I wonder if anyone would pay that kind of money to see
her. I am a college student and I don't have that kind of money to throw
around, even if it is on Celine Dion! Ashley Woods
* In reference to your poll I am
referencing back to the price of the Celine Dion tickets.... For the average
person the tickets are too high to spend on 1 show ticket.... It's one thing
to splurge around $100.00 per ticket per person but over that the average
person cannot afford to attend the show or if they do you can only go to one
show while you are in Las Vegas.. I would Love to see the Celine show but
cannot afford to spend that kind of money for tickets.... Deborah Moody
* Not only wouldn't I pay a scalper for
tickets to see Celine Dion, I wouldn't pay $50 to a legitimate outlet for
tickets to her show. Don't like her-never will. I
realize that someone has to pay for that theatre and her ridiculous salary,
but it ain't gonna be me! Jill, Concord, NH
* Hello from Canada. I am a big Celine
Dion fan but I would only pay under $100. I work hard for my money and
it is hard to come by. I would never pay over this amount for
anyone. Jackie.
* The range I would pay would be between
$50.00 to $65.00. Tom Project
Mgr./Estimator
* Would not pay the 141.85 to see the
show much less any other higher price. too many "good" shows to see
at a good value price to pay that kind of money to see anyone. Jerry Evans
* Ah, yeah, I have just a few comments on
the show on TV last night, so here goes- in no particular order: She says
early on in the show that while there is a lot going on in the world Iraq and
blah blah blah, lets try to set it aside and have fun tonight. Ok sounds good,
but then later she goes into this long 'ol talk about what the world needs now
is peace and love. Well Celine what Las Vegas needs is shows that offer
DIVERSION from what's happening in the world. People go to Vegas and pay
big bucks to have a GOOD TIME. I thought there were a lot of
really interesting elements on the creation of the show. But I did think
it needed more color, after all this is Vegas, baby!!! Too much with the
blues, grays, mauves and blacks. Ok, and what is with her haircut
yuck!!! I know she's straight but the whole evening had this sort of
feminist we know what's good for men quality. And the outfit she started
the show in was WEIRD. Lets see she ended a couple of songs laying on
the edge of the stage with her legs spread out-EXTREMELY TACKY. I
was shocked to read the prices for this show on this site this am. I
agree with the other writer I wouldn't pay $50 for the show. I go to a
Vegas show- I expect some very serious entertainment. As I told my wife
after the show last night- while the guy who created O had a lot of great
ideas, whoever thought Celine Dion could handle a 3 month gig in Las Vegas is
out to lunch. Three weeks- maybe- $300 for this show-NO WAY. Now, when
is Leanne Rhymes, or Brittany Spears coming back to town. I want to see
Leanne do Unchained Melody again!! res08wr9
* Don't waste your money on a
ticket to see her live. You will only be disappointed. Buy the CD if you
are a fan of hers, that way you will remain a fan of hers! Sorry, but
it's only my opinion. Elaine Duba
* I wouldn't pay 2 cents to see her, as
she's not one of my favorites. However, I wouldn't pay $141 to see
anybody, that's outrageous. We did pay $100 to see David Copperfield (it was a
birthday treat) and he was great. We don't regret that. I would even pay to
see him again, but not $100 ... I'll give you $50 for an encore, David, but
not a penny more! Chris from Ohio
* I saw most of it free on TV!!!! She did
not make an elephant disappear nor have a discount to the buffett!!!!!!! In
other words been there done that, lets get in line at the
Rio!!!!!!! C.M.
* HI,
Well I say it would a door prize of $1,000,000.00 given away at each of
her shows for me to even think of going to her show ! You know there is
an awful lot of things to do in VEGAS for $142.00 X 2 . But it might be worth
a chance for a COOL Million . After all that's one of the reason we all
come to VEGAS to take a chance . Then only difference in going
to her show and the other games of chance in VEGAS . Is that in one
you might loose your bankroll in the other you might just loose your
hearing! Texasreddog
* I would pay $50 if I
just hit a jackpot, she has a good voice and better backing
apparently!!!!!!!!!!!!! Howard Kendal
* I
was never a great fan of Celine Dion. Cher, yes. Celine, no.
However I watched part of the opening, carried live on television
Tuesday night and I must confess, it was quite impressive. I thought she
gave a remarkable performance. She has learned to move around and
dance. And the scenery was beautiful. I am sure that the entire
show is just as good. I would not pay more than $75.00. I am not
rich. I would go see the Blue Man Group again though!! I loved
Mystere. I loved Splash. Follies was good. Siegfried and Roy
costs too much! Have also seen a number of entertainers, appearing for a
limited time, who just happened to be there when we visited Las
Vegas. Some of the Lounge shows are really good too. Sun Spots for
one. Let's face it everyone, some of the show prices are really out of
the average person's price range. R. Mezzapeso Poland, OH
* I think $140.00 is a lot of money
I know you go to Vegas to gamble and most people have money. There those of us
you go to Vegas on a fixed Budget and like to visit and do things and not
everyone can afford that kind of money and would love to see her. when I
return to Vegas again this summer I hope they can lower the prices a little
for the people who love her so we can see her. Antoinette Schmit
* I couldn't believe when I heard how
much she was charging. I wouldn't pay more than about 60.00 for her show. It
will be interesting to see how much business she gets long term. Gail
Lashock
* Tell you the truth, I'd have a
scalper pay me money to go see that @@@@@. I caught a few minutes
the other night , the night of her opening and what's up with those oh so
phony hand movements. I never ever have seen a entertainer with gestures like
that. Spaz to say the least. No thank you on tickets to see her. Watcherboy
* $0.00, I saw if free on TV. pancake six
* We would not pay anything to see her. She is way over
hyped. Tom & Mary Walker from Wisconsin
* I would not pay to go see her, I really like her but I saw the
show from Vegas & was not too impressed. I would not pay more than $50.00
for her show. I liked Debbie Reynolds & the Everley Brothers more.
