We paid face value when they went on sale.
me too. we miraculously got in on the presale.
Airfare and hotel we used points so it was fairly cheap.
airfare from SEA to LAS was (and still is) ridiculously cheap*. i was originally only going for one show, so i got a flight for something like $140. someone on the team managed to get tickets to a second night, so i got myself a one-way back a day later... for around $100, IIRC. hotel wasn't cheap because we stayed at a decent joint on the strip. glad that we did.
*TAN: at my previous gig, a certain group of my workmates would go to vegas for the weekend quite regularly - like once a month. lunch-room chat was all about hotel deals, what shows they saw, their favorite casino, etc. they talked about vegas like going to the lake house - just a normal thing to do. i thought it really strange at the time - who goes to vegas every few weeks?? turns out that for seattleites, keeping your eye out for resort deals + cheap airfare = rather affordable weekend getaway. personally i'm fine going there once a year or less, but different strokes...
Although food and drink in Vegas is really expensive.
can confirm. there are deals to be had, but you need to hunt them down, wander off the strips, etc... ain't nobody got time for dat.
