Because Crystal (if that's your real name) anytime you try and post
something other than what is the "Official" doctrine, your posts get
pulled. It's the Barry/Garry can do no wrong crowd (like you) that go
running to TPTB complaining, or you get jumped on for not being a GOOD
FAN by the rest of the nut jobs there.

Don't pay any attention to Crystal. She likes to drop in now and then to
throw rocks at us, which is why (wait for it, Crystal) I have her in my
killfile and only see her posts when others quote her blatherings. :-P
As for trying to express on MMM or the BNet board any displeasure over
prices or pretty much anything remotely related to Barry, it's futile.

An excellent option not available with the Vegas Platinums.
It should be a wonderful show.
I understand. I just wish for fans these days it didn't cost you a house
payment.
I'll say a prayer for you. :-)

They love to float over here from the Bnet and throw a few punches
don't they?

I think Garry Kief would be way to busy to even be remotely concerned
about a fan group or their postings on this board. And I'm not hiding
a thing. So what else do you have to say? I'd love to hear it,
please keep rambling.

I think we've all tried that before, it makes no difference to them,
they don't want to hear it.
There are some who are already saying it and getting slammed for being
"too negative". I guess if you aren't wealthy enough to afford the
new pricing structure, you don't belong on the MMN either. At least

I have no "insider" information -- but I'm going to suspect that since
the Platinum has gone down in price, that instead of the platinums
being one-on-one, they maybe a 'group', like the PBS "platinums" of
before.
My friends and I talked about the Gift of Love charity events as I
thought about the "1/2 price" platinum -- and figured that there are

Here's why I did the Platinum for a Gift of Love:
A. I could designate, out of 25 charities, where I wanted the money
to go. I chose the FIND Food Bank, as all of the food banks and soup
kitchens have been hit hard this year.
B. It was cheaper than the $1500.00 they were charging for the Hilton
Platinums.

I see the convention packages are also very economical (she said
sarcastically). Sheesh. Guess the recession is over at The Paris.

I'm sure they just forgot to include that detail in their info.
It's probably the same $35 fee they charged for each of the Nashville
taping tickets bacl om 2000, which from all indications were supposed to
be free.
That's what some of my friends have also decided. But I'm sure all the
Platinums will sell out. There will always be those who'll pay for a

So, um, how much of that $1,000.00 is actually going to charity?
Convenience Fee? Really? Is that a guarantee that (a) the door will
actually open, (b) Barry will really be there (attitude and behavior
optional) or (c) it's an extra fee for the pleasure of taking your
$1,000.00 to begin with.
And where (sorry but I have to ask) is the guarantee of a refund
