Ministry Boot Camp in Vegas

So [url https://www.adventuresinwonderland.com/t/ministry]here’s the announcement for the Ministry Boot Camp in Vegas.

Packages starting at $2,000.00!!! Breakfast with Al only $250!!!

Let’s pool the money together and buy a package for Paul Barker to go have breakfast with Al at Blueberry Hill so they can sort out their differences and maybe go play Marco Polo in the wave pool over at Mandalay Bay or go see Blue Man Group and sign them up for the next album.

Is there room for Chris Connelly?

Sure, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. You know the rules.

The $2,000+ packages include a meet and greet where you can get one item signed, except for With Sympathy.

If a fan is willing to fork out that much money, he should do it anyways.

I paid for a meet and greet with Nine Inch Nails in 2009, which included a ticket to the show, access to a sound check (where they played several exclusive songs), two signed items and a brief meet/greet with the band. I even got a hug from Trent, for about $1,700 less than what Al is charging.

Yeah, but Al is a cultural icon whereas Trent is just some nobody has been.

Ummm… Wait…

I did that too. 3 beans was well worth it.

My first thought was a get together where people swapped Ministry bootlegs. I was definitely in until I read the actual description.

Hahahahaha!

I was looking for the “Karaoke night with Al and Friends” add on…now, that’s something I’d pay for…singing a couple of early Ministry tunes with Al.

I bet Al still knows the two chords to “Work For Love” too.

So what exactly do you get for $2000-$4000? Aside from being a Sargent, Major, or Colonel in Al’s money grab?

Probably a bumper sticker that says “The Last Sucker”

From the Sergeant package: “Bed in double bedroom (will be placed randomly with roommate)”

Sissy little sergeants have to share their room with strangers. You have to be a major or colonel to get your own room and it costs an extra $1000-$2000 but they give you access to all the sergeant rooms for hazing purposes.

I also really enjoyed the “use a payment plan” option at the bottom. The picture of someone going into debt for this is really strange.

Sorry y’all. I’d really love to spend $3000 to share a shitty room with a rapey stranger and maybe see Al practice playing “señor Peligro” with a couple dipshit tambourine players, but I’m a little low on funds.

Yeah, turns out I spent the exact amount paying to develop a new strain of Ebola and then having a hobo shove it up my ass with a broken mop handle.

I still think I made the better purchase, though.

I’ve selected a few highlights from the FAQ’s below . . .
https://www.adventuresinwonderland.com/pages/faq

Here’s what I get out of it, though:

  • Once you buy this, you’re f***ed. If you get sick or something, you can NOT assign your pass to someone else. You’re just shit outta luck for your $2K-$4K.
  • You still need to buy a ticket to the concert in addition to this stupid VIP Boot Camp jibber jabber.
  • When the price of these packages inevitably drops to $500 or less in a final scurry to fill rooms, you will NOT get any rebate or concession for the massive overpayment you made.
  • They are claiming (depending on which version you believe) that there are 200 or 300 of these packages available, so even if you really do want to join it, you would be a massive FOOL to not wait until the last minute.

Enjoy . . .

FAQ’s

When purchasing from the Adventures In Wonderland website you can include a Will Call name for VIP pick up. Name edits cannot be made after an order has been placed.

Can I exchange my tickets for another show date?
Adventures In Wonderland packages are non-exchangeable, non-refundable and non-transferable.

Can I cancel or refund my ticket purchase?
Adventures In Wonderland packages are non-refundable.

Can I attend the VIP program without having a concert ticket?
You MUST have a concert ticket to attend an Adventures In Wonderland VIP program. All VIP packages state whether a concert ticket is or is not included prior to purchase. If your VIP package does not include a concert ticket you must purchase one separately from an official ticketing vendor.

Why has my package price changed?
Based on demand, pricing of some packages may change without notice.

(sigh)

Don’t even know where to start with this.

Filter just announced a show here on May 21, and I’m going to The Cure on May 22, so I just realized this is a conflict with this potential show.

Do I see 2 shows here in LA? Or do I go to Vegas to watch fans play in a Ministry show? Hmmm. . .

^Vegas, Dude! It’ll be an historic clusterf**k you don’t want to miss. And we’ll have some great stories. No one wants to hear about The Cure.
