FYI: email from Live Nation just came through and says parking lots will open @ 2:00.

MDown will you be coming from Holiday Inn as well? My hope is that everyone from there will caravan over at once and start it off....

As long as everyone agrees to show up and wait in line @ noon or so, there will be enough of a traffic impediment that they'll have to let us in early again!

Who wants to to stay @ Holiday Inn when the gates @ the venue will already be open by the time this party starts? They should consider starting much earlier

How bad of a sign is it that he closed his 1st show of this tour w/ Lovely Cruise? Am I overreacting or does this seem to hint @ things I'm not ready to accept yet?

LiveNation confirmed to me that the gates will open @ 3 for tailgating at the venue. Worth noting: they said that last time and then they opened gates @ 1230.

Hopefully it starts at breakfast time. I know we'll be rolling out of bed ready to have a day full of tailgating fun, whether or not we're alone out there at first is yet to be seen.

It's on Margaritaville.com's tour menu. Definitely happening.

We pre-partied @ the Odyssey SweetSpot Bar/driving range at the entrance to Tinley, expecting lot to open around 2-3p like they said. Then saw people filing in shortly after 12 so we jumped in as well. Plans for this year will allow true pre-tailgating @ Holiday Inn before making our way to TP (inst...

Friday will be the beach, Navy Pier, & Hubbard St w/ a little hotel pool party mixed in.

What time will Holiday Inn allow us tailgaters to start the day's fun on Saturday?

T-minus 9 minutes to ticket time!

Also... What's the review on premier parking @ Tinley? Worth it?

Looks like the Holiday Inn is already booked for Sat night. And I'm thinking the combination of pretailgating in the hotel parking lot and the hotel pool could make for a pretty decent precursor to when TP opens the gates around lunchtime for the real tailgate. Cannot wait.

Better book a room quick! We got our reservation in @ Holiday Inn today..... And we'll be staying downtown the night before as well. See ya there, folks!

I'm actually only in 8th grade, thanks though! Even if it is @ Tinley Park, I'll attend because the Jimmy Buffett experience means more to me than most things. I'll attend because I still know how to have a good time even though the venue isn't ideal. I'll attend in spite of the venue, not because o...

I'm there if Jimmy's there. Love Minneapolis and used to live blocks from this stadium. Great place.

The hate is completely justified in far fewer words: Tinley blows.

I will go wherever the show is, but that doesn't mean Tinley doesn't still blow.

This may be the first time I ever agree w/ nighthawk, but a Miller Park show would be great. Prime spot for some good tailgating for sure. I just don't see him ever doing Summerfest though.

There was no bad spot to watch @ Toyota. Tailgating was all day long and was amazing. Tinley is nowhere near as nice as Toyota. Plus, they cut the tailgating time in half. Plus it blows. Northerly, in theory, is a great venue for Jimmy - on an island. But the tailgate is divided into a bunch of sect...

Tinley Park blows.




That is all.

A return to Toyota would certainly be best, we need more than just a few hours of segregated tailgating. Let's do it right this year. And would it be too much to ask you announce the tour before April? We know Paris in September already but nothing else.... One last thing: did anybody get an email f...
