Should I buy show tickets in advance, or wait til I get to Vegas to do so?

The show is Olivia Newton John at the Flamingo, on May 6th. It's a rather limited engagement rather than a regular show.

Many thanks.

If I'm not worried about a sellout I usually wait for last minute deals. You can do the meet and greet for $249. I saw her just after Grease and she was terrific.

Perhaps be extra nice to a few people on the forum, I bet a few people can get them for free. Personally that is the kind of stuff I just toss out. I'm just not into shows here in Vegas anymore.

This is what I typically do. About 50 hours until this Tuesday's show and it looks about 75% sold via Ticketmaster. I would think you could wait until Vegas to buy them since WoVCon is late April, right? You'd at least be able to avoid those pesky Ticketmaster fees at the minimum. Whether they would end up being sold at places like Tix4Tonight, no idea.

About half the seats remain for Tuesday, May 6th via Ticketmaster.

I don't know how worried I should be.

I'd love to, but that's a bit out of my budget. Actually the regular $112-155 quoted on the Flamingo site is not exactly within my budget, but I figure it's my only chance ever to see her live.

Right. In fact I'd like an earlier show, but there are none til then.

I should think not, but you never know. I'd probably find out too late anyway.

If I buy my ticket earlier and see a better deal, can I return the original ticket for a refund?

You can buy tickets now if you are free or you can buy ticket afterwards and for that you can go through how to get last minute broadway show tickets .
