Blake at the Blue Chip Casino
Oh, I am SO mad!!!! This place is almost in my backyard and I had NO IDEA he was going to perform there. NOW, all the great seats are gone and I feel left out. What's up with that???? Are there going to be fan club seats available later? Any kind of meet and great? The show is the beginning of February. So sad!!
[quote=Linda2494] No Walker is about 100 or so miles north of Mille Lacs( what a great time that was, great meeting you ). We always stand on the side where possible. It is sad when they don't even clap for the entertainer. We even yell at home in our living room when Blake is on. Blake is the best ... Take care Linda & Dorothy [/quote]
Oh okay! Yeah Mille Lacs was a great time! Awesome meeting you gals as well, no wonder yall wanted to stand! LOL I wanna say that was my first real experience with "no standing" lol there was a lady near us alseep during that show. We just chuckled about it.
Good luck and have fun. I have tried the upgrading but have not been lucky. But of course, I won't give up and always check for upgrades. Casinos are bad for give best seats to VIPs that sometimes don't even know the artist.

NEXT BLAKE ENCOUNTER CANCELED

[quote=Linda2494]I remember we went to a Casino in Walker Mn. a lady was sleeping when Blake was performing. I looked at Dorothy and shook my head. And that is why front rows are always taken..... They have no clue .............. Dorothy and I can not sit still we are a little crazy at a Blake concert....... But have a great time ................Enjoy the show Linda & Dorothy [/quote]
Was that at Mille Lacs??? There were a few around us sleeping too! and the ones that were awake only complained when we even thought about standing, it was a real challenge to sit in your chair and squirm at best to Blake and Steve. It was very sad indeed, not to mention it was a non alcoholic casino. It was like adding insult to injury, but we made the best of it! ;)
Sad...

Like Jess said, the casinos are notorious for having their regulars getting the primo seats, and yeah they for the most part aren't even into the artist they are seeing.
Sabrina's tip will work for most venues! Definitely worth trying. : )
Hopefully the MG info will be out there soon!
Generally speaking the draw back to the casino shows are the crowds are older and they have a thing against standing. which sucks!
Have an aBSolutely great time!
When getting tickets to shows you need to make sure that you have the Radio presale code. That is what I did. I would have gotten 5th row tickets but the money in the bank was not available till the next day. LOL. Yes I am mad about that but. Life happens. So when I did get my tickets 7am the next morning I am back further than I wanted but they are still great seats since I was just at Blue Chip for Wynonna same seats just on Right side instead of Left. Hope everyone has a very Happy New Year. And Hope they post soon for the Meet and Greet.
I found out through the South Bend Tribune, then got email from Blue Chip. I had the the VIP code, but wasn't able to get on until 45 min after sale started and the seats sucked then. I have 4 people. You could get front row all day long for 1...I waited for general public sale and got a little better, but they still suck a big Hillbilly Bone!

Sabrina Thanks for the tip would have never thought of doing that but it's worth a try. If not I will be watching him from row Z but at least I will be there.
I don't know if it would work for you or not (but might be worth a try) - we went to the casino the day of the show (about 2 hours before showtime) and tried to "upgrade" our tickets. The lady was so nice, she swapped us even for 6th row. You could always go up at the last minute and see what they have left. A lot of times they don't fill those "VIP" seats and no one wants them empty!
Also, when we got to our 6th row seats, the security came to us and moved us up front because they wanted all of those sections filled in and looking full. Then they let us right up at the stage to fill in the standing area because that's what Blake wanted!
I sure hope something the same works out for you - it was a great time!!

That sucks... hate that all those casinos give the good seats to their "VIPs". Those people probably aren't that big of fans, either. (Not saying they can't be, but chances are... ?)
Good luck!

Hey Cindy! We got our tickets right away-decent- not front center but decent . As far as the meet & greet I've e-mailed twice to both the casino & BSers both with no responce! I guess we just pray! His shows are great no matter where your seat is !Good Luck -Hope to see ya there!
Cindy We got our tickets the minute they opened up and still got crappy seats. They had a presale for Blue Chip VIP's and it looks like that is where the good ones went. Oh well I'll still be there and really hoping to get a meet and greet.
If there is a M&G, usually it's posted at the beginning of the month before the show. So technically it should be open on the 1st of January. But, I know a lot of stuff is kind of up in the air with the forum right now, so good luck. If there isn't anything listed under "tour" within a few days into January, I would email Team BS and ask. Good luck - I hope you can get some good seats!!

Oh man that sucks! I hope you get some great seats, not sure about the fanclub tickets, keep checking back for the MG sign up it should be popping up soon!
