Well, I've already bought tickets to the Singapore show and thanks to Hibino, my friend agreed to tag along.
I think VGL tickets are pricier than the Play! game music concert that played in Singapore in 2007. But there are possible reasons why that's so, starting with the venue and assorted pre- and post-concert activities at VGL. Nonetheless, I'm hoping VGL will be able to offer a different experience and approach to Play!. For one, I'm hoping we'll get to hear a different treatment of the songs performed, and also tunes composed by Tommy and Jack (eg Myst III by Jack; that and I'm a Myst fanboy who even likes music from Riven). It's somehow more engaging watching and hearing a composer playing/conducting his own music. And it would be great to finally see Tommy and Jack in person (and hopefully meet them) after having read about them for the longest time. It would also be cool to hear Tristram from Diablo live and some of the Orc themes from WarCraft II, but I guess that's wishful thinking on my part. :P Jam it back in, in the dark.
I think therefore I am... I think.

I can't wait for 2010 already. Hopefully, whatever project you guys will be doing with the Singapore Government works out. I have some hunches on what it might be. :P But I do hope it'll offer new material or at least new takes on old material.
See you at the concert this Friday, Tommy, and hope it'll be a blast for you as well. Will definitely drop by at the meet-and-greet to say hi! Provided I make it through what I imagine to be very long queues. :P There's nowhere I can't reach.
I think therefore I am... I think.

Thanks for the awesome concert in Singapore, Tommy! The orchestra, choir and soloists were great. There were many nice touches that helped to up the experience and energy of the concert, from the quirky videos and the lighting effects to how you and Jack would rouse the crowd. Some of the cosplayers were quite amusing and I even saw a guy with with a green cap and a fairy. Way to go, Link!
I was surprised by how much I liked the Castlevania medley (and I'm not even a fan) but the rocking rendition really won me over. Other things that'll certainly stick in my head are the MGS cameos, Hibino's super spy sax, getting goosebumps from hearing strains of Tristram in the Diablo piece, the Chrono Cross tunes and Martin's incredible performance. Like Blah, I was hoping for some Myst music but nontheless, it meant a lot to me to finally meet Jack in person and getting my Myst III Exile manual signed. I really love his music from the Myst series and suffice to say, this is one happy Myst fanboy. :P Here's hoping you guys return for another concert! Most amazing jew boots

I think it doesn't necessarily mean increased ticket prices if a performance is at the Esplanade. There are so many other cost, sponsorship and logistics considerations to factor in which might or might not work in the Esplanade's favour from a purely cost perspective.
But I think it's still early days, though. We still don't know for sure if a concert in 2010 is definitely happening. :P I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
