Call it the "taking it to the limit" tour.
The Eagles have agreed to usher in the New Year at the Staples Center, with the top ticket price expected to hit $1,500.
The deal, which is still in the offer stages and has not yet been signed off by the band, will give the Eagles a guarantee and a split of the gate.
The band could have a payday of $10 million for the one-night stand at the 20,000-seat L.A. arena, which is still under construction but is set to open in October.
The Eagles show is expected to be announced sometime next month.
The show would cap the arena's three-month grand-opening period, which will have several concerts in addition to the Lakers and Clippers basketball and Kings hockey games.
Industry insiders suggest that even with a top tag of $1,500 and with the remaining seats of the new venue scaled back to considerably less, the show will be a sellout.
The band's roadshow in 1995 was the industry's best, with a $61 million take (more than $1.2 million per night) despite playing a little over a handful of shows with a top price of $125 on some stops.
But as a New Year's Eve extravaganza on the eve of the millennium, a $1,500 pricetag is quickly becoming the norm.
Several acts are raising their ticket prices to abnormal heights to cash in on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to party like it's 1999.
Insiders said Barbra Streisand's stop at the MGM Grand is expected to have a top price of more than $2,500, and Jimmy Buffett's New Year's Eve show at the Universal Amphitheater is expected to boast a $1,400 top price.
