Notes From Myron plus Pre Sale Tips From Jana
Here is a ticket code for the concert that will get great seats. Note the Password.
And
Hi everyone,
Please pass this word around to any one planning on coming to Las Vegas for the March Il Volo concert.
I just got word from my person at the Palms that the Palms hotel is sold out for March 24 and 25 – Il Volo weekend.
Those of you that got your rooms already make sure that you have our group discount figured in. If you don’t then please let me know so that I make sure that is taken into account on your bill.
Hotels to try:
Right across the street from the Palms is the
Gold Coast Hotel Casino 702-367-7111
and the Rio Hotel Casino 866-746-7671
others fairly close are: Flamingo; Bellagio, Bally’s; Caesar’s Palace; Mirage; Venetian; Paris; MGM; etc.
Let’s face it ! Once Il Volo Management opened the starting gates ” THE HORSES WERE OFF ” Things have been moving very fast on our end but the management of Il Volo and Management of the Palms have moved at their own speed.

WHAT’S IN A PRESALE TICKET? 10 WAYS YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE
Ah, the age-old mystery of the presale ticket. Before an event goes on sale, ticket wizards pull Houdini-like stunts and grab tickets out of thin air before anyone else can blink—right? Well, not exactly. There’s more to a presale than that and it doesn’t require any magic to take advantage—you only need to know where to look…
Ticket Presales Defined
The presale ticket period is when certain event tickets go on sale to a specified group of fans, usually as a reward for their membership or customer loyalty. In advance or during the presale timeframe*, these select fans are given a code which allows them to search for tickets to buy. Fans aren’t guaranteed a ticket during the presale, but they’re given the opportunity to browse ahead of other fans who don’t have the code.
How to get a Presale Code
The trick to getting presale codes is knowing where to find them. To make your presale hunt a little easier, we’ve put together the following list so you can determine the best ways to get tickets to the artist, team or event you can’t wait to see.**
10 Ticketmaster Presale’s to Help you get Tickets ASAP
- Ticketmaster Presale
Are you signed up to receive special offers from Ticketmaster via email? If not, don’t worry, we’ll tell you how. Log into My Account and select:My Account > Select Alerts or Offers. It’s that easy! After you sign up, make sure to “favorite” all the artists, performers, teams and venues that you love so we can deliver information about upcoming onsales to you in the future.
- Ticketmaster Social Presale
If you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Google+, then keep your eyes peeled for the unique presales we share with our social communities. Followers will get the most recent presale codes the day they go live.
- VIP Presale
Buying the best seats in the house has its perks! When you’re searching for tickets, be sure to look for any VIP packages that may be available for the event. These exclusive packages may go on sale prior to the general ticket inventory and will provide you with secure tickets and the chance to experience the event like a star.
- Venue Presale
The venues in your hood also host presales so sign up for their email list to find out when, where and how. You’ll also want to visit any and all of your favorite venues’ websites to subscribe to their newsletters.
- Credit Card Presale
Credit card companies—like Amex and Citibank —may offer their cardholders special presale access as a perk for being a loyal customer. Check with your credit card company to find out if they offer any benefits or assistance when purchasing live entertainment events.
- Fan Club Presale
Are you an avid follower of {insert-your-favorite-band-here}? If the answer’s yes, then you should look into becoming a member of their official fan club or community. Typically, fan club members are rewarded for their loyalty and given presale access to their fav artists’ shows as a perk. FYI—there may be a cost associated with joining an artists’ fan club or community so read all the details before signing up!
- Album Pre-order Presale
Sometimes tours offer a presale code to the fans who pre-order the artist’s new album. This is a great way to get early access to tickets and the music you love from your favorite artist. You can find out about these types of opportunities by signing up to receive email notifications from your favorite artist and/or Ticketmaster.
- Fan Club Bundle
Still not a member of your favorite artist’s official fan club? Not to worry, some artists give non-fan club members early access to tickets when they purchase a special “Fan Club Bundle.” Purchasing this bundle allows you to buy tickets during the specified presale period along with the purchase of an official fan club membership. You kill two birds with one stone here—you’re given the chance to buy tickets early and you become an official fan club member with even more insider info from your favorite band. Keep in mind that in most cases, there’s an additional cost associated with purchasing the fan club membership.
- Team Presale
Sports teams traditionally try to give their loyal following early access to tickets. Simply visit your desired sports team’s website for more information on how to join their email list.
- Radio presale
Stations partner with different tours, events and sports teams to offer their loyal listeners early access to buy tickets. Listen closely on air or visit the station’s website for details on signing up and securing passwords.
There you have it, the presale mystery has been solved. And they say a real magician never gives away their tricks.
Personally Speaking ~ Jane & Mary
“YOU REMEMBER WHERE I’VE BEEN, RESPECT WHO I’VE BECOME AND ENCOURAGE ME WHERE I’M GOING…”
Brothers and sisters…best friends…a confidant…someone always there for you…someone you look up to…trust…respect…devoted to…supports you, and loves you like no one else can. Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, you are blessed in so many ways. The love you have for your siblings and they in return, is a gift beyond compare.

PRINCE GIANLUCA!
Does he not look like the Prince of Abruzzo?
As the word prince is defined in the dictionary:
A person of high standing.
YES, he fits the bill here.
The love, respect, admiration and highest regard he is held in…
Gianluca – in our eyes you are one mighty fine Prince!

THEIR HAIR
Did you see the picture of Piero in the barbers’ chair with Ignazio holding a pair of scissors next to his forehead? I’m still chuckling over that one. Piero is holding his hands in a praying position, and probably saying something like, “Please God, don’t let Ignazio cut my hair.”
It got me to thinking about Il Volo hair. Let me say right at the start that whatever I say about the boys’ hair is said in love, not criticism. We’ve all had our “bad hair” days and come out of the salon thinking, “what has he/she done to me?” So we know how it goes. And their hair is not what we love—doesn’t really matter what it looks like. It’s the guy underneath that we care about. Now, having said that, let’s take a look at some of the hair-dos of the past.

And their hair is not what we love—doesn’t really matter what it looks like. It’s the guy underneath that we care about. Now, having said that, let’s take a look at some of the hair-dos of the past.Remember Piero in the pre-ear tuck stage?
He was so adorable with his crazy hair sticking out all over his head like a bramble bush. I fell in love with him when I first saw that hair and the cute guy underneath it . When the ears were unveiled, Soonie got a little wild with the clippers and the sides were waaay short with a thatch on top. Then there was the “leaning tower of Pisa look with the pointy top leaning over to the right like it was saying, “go this way.”
That soon gave way to what I call the “Arizona Mesa” look—straight up and high with lots of gel.
It seems that lately it has been tamed to a shorter style, thank goodness. Actually, my favorite look is when he has been swimming, and the sun has dried his hair into a soft natural frame for his beautiful face
….and that’s what I love, regardless of the hair style.
Now for Gianluca….oooh, his gorgeous curls.
Too bad they only get let out occasionally.
Remember when he won the contest how sweet he looked with the curly tendrils caressing his neck? Of course he has always had an angelic face and the curls just accentuate that look. I know they make him look younger, and he is trying to have a more mature look, but please, Gianluca, give us the curls. His more recent styles have been more conventional than the other guys, and let’s face it….those “bedroom eyes” and the million dollar smile are enough to set anyone swooning over him like the women did over his idol, Frank Sinatra.
Remember how the term”swooning” got started with him? Anyway, Gianluca, we love you and your hair, whatever.
Now Ignazio probably has the most challenging hair. I really think it has a mind of its own. Like it’s saying, “I’m crazy, and I’ll do whatever I want, so just stand back and let it happen.”
Sometimes Ignazio tries to tame it with a ponytail (not my favorite look) but usually it is leaping down with a swirl around his cheek or standing up in a cloud of swirling busyness. This guy has a lot of hair, and we never know what it is going to do next. That makes it interesting, and we always know that his sweet face will be there underneath it.
Thinking about the guys and their hair styles makes me think of the Joe Cocker/Ray Charles song….It says it all:
“You are so beautiful to me,
Can’t you see?
You’re everything I hoped for,
You’re everything I need.
You are so beautiful to me.”

Kitty’s Kibbles ~ Little Bits of love
Il Volo shares their love in many different ways, not the least of which is sharing smiles..
Kibbles, is meant to be a different, lighter way to share those smiles here, with each other. Honoring their homelands a bit, and also tapping into a bit of “funny” seems like a perfect Il Volo way to bring us closer together, while still “SHARING THE LOVE”.
GIAN’S ITALY: is a Southern European country, a peninsula bordered on three sides, and shares borders with 4 other countries: France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. It’s longest border is with Switzerland. It is home to 2 micro states, San Marino (25 sq miles), and Vatican City 108.7 acres. Vatican is the only nation in the world that can lock it’s own gates at night. It has it’s own phone company, radio and TV stations, money, and stamps: also it’s own Army, the historic Swiss Guard.
DIDYOU KNOW? When McDonald’s opened in 1986 in Rome, food purists outside the restaurant gave away free spaghetti, to remind people of their cultural heritage!

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL. (we won’t go any further,okay? Shhhh!)
Today, I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walks over to me and asks, “what brings you in today?”
I just looked at her, and I said, “I’m interested in buying a refrigerator.” She didn’t quite know how to respond. Am I getting to be that age?

JUST FOR A SMILE: COMPUTER LADIES BEWARE:
“COMPUTER SWALLOWED GRANDMA”
The computer swallowed Grandma. Yes, honestly it’s true.
She pressed “control” and “enter”, and disappeared from view.
It devoured her completely, the thought just makes me squirm,
She must have caught a virus, or been eaten by a worm.
I’ve searched through the recycle bin, and files of every kind.
I’ve even used the Internet, but nothing did I find.
In desperation, I asked “Jeeves”, my searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative, not a thing was found “online”,
So, if inside your “inbox”, my Grandma you should see,
Please, “copy, “scan” and “paste” her, and send her back to me.
