I hate to report this but I WAS there and sadly enough we wish we HAD NOT wasted the time. Don't get me wrong, the show was okay (and I love his music) but the evening was terrible- let me explain-
The ticket category prices were as follows: $65 standing only-(orange colored wrist bands) Tickets sold at $85.00 (red wrist bands- that was what we purchased) were standing "room" only (event center was outside actually) and this $20 upgrade was to give us a reserved "spot" (still standing BUT in a special limited number of people capacity section that was to be located IN FRONT of the stage. Well- we got the upgraded $85 tickets but there was not a upgrade at ALL!! We were stuck in a human stew of orange banded general admission ticketholders and red banded up-graders all pushing and pulling was so to win a spot closest to the stage intense that we finally opted to sit basically behind the stage! There were also $125 ticketholders who had chairs and a special seating area that the LV Metro Police Dept did regulate but they were positioned on the side of the stage. THOSE tickets were like I said were designated and policed for crowd control but that was because they were Cabo transfers that had already paid the price to see Sammy in Cabo San Lucas before the hurricane changed that. Here is the cherry on that birthday cake- everyone (the $65, the $85 and even the $125 ticketholders) were forced for almost 2 hours to stand in line to purchase a beer (warm) or a drink. This made EVERYONE pissed; I mean people all over the place were angry which a pleasant experience it was NOT. Just think about it- a few thousand or so people - all of them irritated for enjoying the show in a drink line barely able to see the stage while the person they went with (me) was trying to make her way through a thick agressive human stew of people trying to reach an area that did not exist and was already occupied with orange banded ticket holders as well as confused & angry red banded people (like me) trying to push through to front of the stage to locate the $85 section that did not exist! The VIP section (Cabo transfers) very also very hostile and angry atmosphere because of the 2 hour wait in line beverage SNAFU! (BTW: a insane 2 hour wait in line for as drink ended costing us $22 for 2 very small weak watered down drinks. . . and the fun of enjoying the concert in the drink line where you couldn't really see the stage at all! Also- the song list that Hagar described in his media announcements was not what we heard. The concert was good but they ended playing 6 (yes SIX) old Van Halen tunes and 4 Led Zeppelin tunes and only 2 Chickenfoot songs. Hagar had said in his press releases that $125.00 VIP Cabo transfers would get an opportunity to get a signed autograph after the show. They didn't get anything. We witnessed this: the show ended and he did not do an encore (something that most every concert goer expects) and then Hagar disappeared into a black limo & sped off down the road! The ticket upgrade SNAFU- I am not saying was his fault. However, all the factors I described above were treated to having a bad experience in one way or another. Maybe they should have said for an extra $20 you can give Sammy a little something extra for his birthday. Those of us who paid the extra $20 bucks for that non-existent special were ripped off-regardless of whose fault it was. The kicker here was that he saluted us (like a soldier) after abruptly ending the show and said " I salute you Las V for having us and making the Cabo Bash still happen. I couldn't help but think at this point, "no need to thank us... we already got screwed". I am not placing blame entirely on Hagar but his press releases did not deliver what he said would happen on stage, the event center didn't accommodate what was promised and everybody (Cabo transfers too) were slighted. We are intending to determine what the hell went wrong here. I will update when matter is addressed with Las Vegas Event Center. Stay tuned. Oh! And as for all of you that couldn't attend - please do not feel so bad… the event was basically a disaster all around.

Can't wait till Saturday, it should be great.

Thanks for all the music Sammy, your voice is amazing.
