Oh this makes Manson seem like such genius.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…was the first thing that came into my head also.

If I was a 13 year old heavy metal fan who hated his teachers and his parents, I’d probably be impressed with that photo.[/reply]

I don’t mean to be mean… but if one of the bullet points to your item is the fact that “tax and service fees included” you may be digging to justify something that isn’t there.

That’s not real.
Is it?
Oh, please tell me you’re joking.

48

Do you at least get to meet the guy? Get an autograph? A picture? Even if they roll out a red carpet, I highly doubt it’s worth that price.

49

I think Al is going to be one disappointed kid at Christmas time. no one’s gonna get him 3,000 dollars for “special seating” and some 5 dollar signed merch.

I hope they rope off the “Titanium” section so we can all see the one (come on, someone might pay up) sorry sack standing alone with his/her signed Wicked Lake postcards.

There you have it. $500 . . . . does NOT mean you will meet Al . . .

A Meet & Greet with Al Jourgensen or any members of Ministry is not guaranteed with any of the below packages.

I’m sure those are some kick ass stickers, though.

That’s crazy money…I’ll stick to 25 dollar tix.

I’ll stick to waiting to see a set list before I even entertain an idea of going.

I’d only be traveling to LA if Paul was back.

56

Really curious to see this positive response of which they speak.

57

Jesus christ, it really is like that scene from Spinal Tap when Paul Schaffer organizes the record store meet…

It’s creepy

58

I just knew I’ve seen that makeup artist’s work before!

Count me among those creeped out by the banner and related “Titanium package” email.

If I were one of you who’s going to go to one of these Ministry shows I’d use a bit of common sense and just get a regular ticket and if you’re still desparate to meet Al & co. you can still do that, just be smart about it. When it gets to the end of the show or whatever things can get lax as regards letting people into VIP areas and such. The difference between $25 and $200+ or $500 (arrogance) is far too big to take the risk on and end up disappointed.

Also I think selling VIP packages (especially at that price) is a bit elitist. Does Al only prefer Ministry fans who are rich? Where’s his social conscience? Or maybe he’s being very cynical and wants to take all this money from unwitting, wealthy Ministry fans and then not show them much love at the shows.

Probably more of an Angie thing…
