Garth Brooks at Encore

Does anyone know much about the details regarding Garth Brooks' stint at the Wynn/Encore? It seems like a very exclusive ticket not readily available to your average Vegas visitor. Secondary ticket sites like Stub Hub and Ebay don't have many of tickets available. Ebay does have a few, but in the thousands of dollars and with sound pretty wierd instructions (like bring your id's and the ticket vendor will escort you into the theater). What's up with that!? My wife and I are going to Vegas in late December and thought Brooks would be cool to check out, but looks like I'll hit up Terry Fator again (who might actually be worth a few thousand, but only asks for about $80).

I wonder if he will do "Friends in Low Places" at the Wynn. It seems you need a friend in a high place to get in.

Steve Wynn is instituting a lot of things to get rid of scalpers. This is probably why the vendor will have to escort you in etc.
