Elvis: The 30th Anniversary Concert

August 16, 2007
8:00 pm

FedExForum in downtown Memphis. A spectacular, historic concert event starring the real Elvis Presley, via video, accompanied live on stage by a large cast of singers and musicians who worked with him, an orchestra, and additional singers and musicians. A wonderful production along the lines of our anniversary shows in 1997 and 2002.

CAST: Joe Guercio (musical director & conductor); TCB Band members James Burton (lead guitar), Glen D. Hardin (piano), Jerry Scheff (bass guitar), and Ronnie Tutt (drums); Sweet Inspirations members Myrna Smith, Estelle Brown and Portia Griffin; Imperials members Sherman Andrus, Terry Blackwood Joe Moscheo and Gus Gaches; former Stamps Quartet members Bill Baize, Ed Hill, Richard Sterban, Larry Strickland and Donnie Sumner; Jordanaires members Gordon Stoker and Ray Walker; D.J. Fontana (drums) and Millie Kirkham (soprano). Also appearing: rockabilly band The Dempseys and members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

TICKETS:

Tickets are $90.00, $75.00 and $50.00. This event is sold out but for a limited number of $75.00 tickets that have been held back from regular sales to be part of a special multiple-event ticket package.

Some of the tickets that are presently held back for corporate and sponsor commitments could be released at some point in the final weeks/days leading up to the show. If so, they will be available via Ticketmaster online at ticketmaster.com or by Ticketmaster phone at (901) 525-1515. Tickets also can be purchased in person at all Ticketmaster Retail Ticket Center locations in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri and in person at the FedExForum box office. Typical ticketing service fees will be added. It is a matter of personal experience and preference which method you should choose.

VIP Tickets (SOLD OUT):

There was a number of $250.00 VIP ticket packages that were available when tickets went on sale September 12, 2006. These sold out in less that 20 minutes. Later, more VIP seats became available due to a change in production layout and were auctioned online in April/May 2007. The VIP package includes premium seating for the concert, access to a private VIP reception room before and after the concert and at intermission to enjoy beverage service and hors d’oeuvres, an appearance by the cast in the reception room, and a special gift bag of commemorative concert merchandise.

There was also a sold-out online auction of 12 front-row V-VIP ticket packages. These packages include all the regular VIP benefits plus access to the backstage hospitality room during intermission.
