I looked on VH1's site -- They have various ticket packages. The cheapest is $250 for a ticket to the show and the after-party. They also have more expensive packages that pays for your ticket to the show, after-party ticket, 1 night at a hotel, and round-trip airline ticket.
I may be planning me a quick trip to Vegas in May. I'm not sure I can pass up an event with my 2 favorite bands together!!!!
