CRISS ANGEL PEOPLE SAY TICKET PRICES WERE NOT HIKED UP
07.2.2008 
The Criss Angel machine has come forward to set the record straight after some fans complained of being charged extra for reissued Criss Angel tickets. John McCroy, senior publicists for Angel, said, "The pricing structure remains the same for CRISS ANGEL Believe." McCoy said Preview pricing, which is 25 percent off the ticket price, now applies to preview performances between September 12 and October 8. Customers that bought their full-priced ticket during this revised preview period will be refunded their 25 percent.. Customers who purchased tickets to performances between September 1 and 11 that can not attend another performance will be refunded. Performances scheduled from October 10 onwards will remain as full priced tickets as originally scheduled, he said.

If ALL TRUTHS are posted on Criss’ website, how come it takes them SO LONG to update same? It took almost a MONTH to post the actual date of Season 4 (when Leach already announced it about a month ago) AND there is NOTHING about Believe being DELAYED on Criss’ website either!! What are we Loyals now? Last on the totem pole to hear the real news?
And WE LOYALS are getting SCREWED - IF those first 2 wks. tickets are getting REFUNDED - we stood by you Criss - we WANTED to PAY MONEY to see the ‘rehearsals’, with all the foibles included, and what do we get SCREWED!! But OH NO - the Gala Event (with INVITED guests (i.e. those who GET IN FREE ‘CAUSE YOU’RE EITHER FAMILY OR A CELEBRITY) THEIR SHOW IS STILL ON!!! Those who purchased tickets for Sept. 1 thru Sept. 11 - now have to SCRAMBLE to get good seats if we want to attend from Sept 12 on - because THOSE seats were already previously booked by others!!
I don’t care what the REASON IS - WE STILL GOT SCREWED CRISS!! And YES, it IS YOUR FAULT - you’re the Professional!
Here’s what I don’t get - how is cancelling 2 wks. of rehearsals going to make ANY difference? If you are a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!! (especially since those 2 wks. that you are CANCELLING are “rehearsal shows” anyway!!! I'd RATHER see mistakes, it shows you are HUMAN!! (or are you anymore??) I SAY LET THEM STAND!
Criss,
We all of us loyals, will still remain LOYAL, you have to admit we got SCREWED!! Why can't you come out and issue a statement, and just say you are sorry for the huge inconvience? WHERE ARE YOU??? Why are you remaining silent on this? Statements coming from you PR guy don't count... YOU have always been there for the loyal, WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
WE adore you, we care, and we just want to know that you do too.
Two weeks can make the world of difference, especially in issues of safety. I doubt this was intentional. This is a new show and concept. From another article, it was stated they were 7 weeks late getting into the theater because of the engineering and re-design delays and what they were doing in the rehearsal hall was completely different once inside the theater. Jenny, I can understand your concern. Sometimes circumstances are out of ones control. They are trying to remedy the problem and the solution in my eyes is fair. For those of us going between Sept 12th to October 8th are now receiving 25% of the regular show ticketed prices. I have no complaints. We are also looking forward to the show.
Hey Criss you can make it up to the Loyal by giving us all backstage passes to the show, since we were loyal enough to buy tickets in the first place.... That would surely make up for the delays!!
