* I have not used any of those services, honestly I did not
understand how they worked. Viola Bowers KY
* To see a show like Mamma Mia
or Mystere, I have paid top[ dollar because I wanted our group to have a
great experience.
* But for some shows I have gone and just purchased tickets
for a review show and had a great time , I just don't want to spend my
precious vacation time on long lines. In NYC I get the half-priced
Broadway show tickets frequently and have no problem. Art

* Yes, I have
purchased half price and discounted tickets. They were well worth the
wait on line and the trip to the hotel to exchange the voucher ticket
for a "real ticket". I would absolutely continue to purchase tickets in
this manner. bonnie perlmutter mount sinai, ny
* Yes, I have used half
price ticket broker. It was very simple, quick and got really good
seats. I would definitely use it again. I am coming to Vegas in December
and plan on using it again then. Cynthia Zelenack Drums,

* Last trip to Vegas I used one of
those brokers, the price was great, but taking taxi from my casino
to their location, then standing in line for 50 minutes was not
enjoyable. Probably will not use again, my precious time in Vegas
is not going to be spent standing in lines. Roger Shack

* The pricing is good and
the idea is great to buy left over seats, but I have used in other
cities and Vegas and the weather of standing in a line to buy a ticket
is a joke. The inconvenience was far more than the savings.

* Have not used this before
but plan to give it a try when visiting Vegas for the first time Dec. 15
- 19. Susan Puls Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
* Yes. John

* I have used half
price ticket brokers several times to save money on shows while in Vegas
as well as other cities. It helps to have a number of shows that you
would like to see and be flexible about what is available for that
night. Also, don't expect the most popular, limited engagement shows to
be available. Your best bet are the many "ongoing" shows such as George
Wallace, Clint Homes, Anthony Cools or even some of the big production
shows on a week-night. Be Flexible! Bill McDonough

* Half Price Ticket Brokers
are an excellent way to see some of the "lower end" shows in Vegas. Get
there early and enjoy a nice selection of shows from a variety of
casinos. Don't expect to find Cirque, Celine, or other high dollar
tickets at these brokers. (Or if you do they will be discounted
approximately 10% instead of 50%) Also take advantage of being a repeat
customer. Most Half Price Ticket Brokers offer VIP line passes and
discounts on the follow day after you buy tickets! David Wade

* Great idea.....& have
bought half price tickets.....didn't like the long line to purchase the
tickets. Mardelle Farrow Post Falls, ID
* I have not used a
half price ticket booth in Vegas. My husband and I plan to be there in
December and will look to see how it works and what shows are actually
available. Now that the shows have increased in price, we haven't been
going to any shows the last 3 times we visited Vegas. Hopefully, there
are 1/2 price tickets available for a show or 2 that we like this time
around. I am not afraid to purchase tickets at the 1/2 price booth.
Spoke to many about the tickets before. Nancy DeAngelis
Norristown/Pa
* Have visited Las Vegas
twice. Both times My wife and I stayed for seven days. Once at the
Jockey Club, once at the Polo towers. Each time we used 2 for 1 coupons
for meals, shows, and gambling. Stretching our money long enough to last
a week. We took in Crazy Girls, V, X, Folies, Jubliee. Ate at the
Hilton, Rivera, Sahara, Alladin, Green Valley Ranch. Ernest

* I wouldn't pay full or
half price to see 90% of the preformers out there today. sooner or later
they will have a tv appearence if there anybody. Ralph DiDomonic
* never pay full
price! I usually use a 2 for 1 coupon from tourist magazine. The half
price tickets work well too, especially when there are an uneven number
in your party. I used them on my last visit for 3 of us. Good selection
of shows and broker attendants are helpful. Sue Bovee
White Bear Lake, MN
* Yes, we always buy 1/2
price tkts in Las Vegas and New York. Why not? Same show, just pay less.
Its very pricey otherwise. Rosie Sherman Toronto Canada
* If a person is lucky
enough to find a reputable ticket broker, and can buy tickets for the
day of show performance for half ... why not? However, you have to be in
the right place at the right time, and take your chances that the ticket
is a good one. Would rather that the theater offer the same deal at
their box office - safer and easier! That's been my experience; have
never been disappointed because I can see exactly where seat I am
purchasing is located, and if bad, I can complain! Carmie Frey
