Re: Cincinnati


I talked to people at Riverbend Music center. Buffett is not coming to Cincinnati in 2023 nor any where else for a tour. In the pictures here on Buffett news Jimmy has lost quite a bit of weight. I pray to God for a speedy recovery.


Correct, he’s obviously facing serious health issues. I ...

Re: 2023 tour dates

Looking at his recent pictures, he looks shockingly thin. Can’t imagine he would have the stamina to do road trip shows anytime soon. He’s lost so much weight.

Re: Jimmy on NBC's Today Show Summer Concert

Does Jimmy use a teleprompter for all his songs now? Looks like it.....

Re: Who's Going To Chicago/Tinley Park June 25th?

How empty is Tinley these days for Jimmy? Haven't been there since 2007 but it was completely sold out then. Are we talking a half full lawn now?

Re: Alpine Valley 2014

Agreed, Alpine is the best pure venue to see Jimmy, the tailgating is perfect, the sound is amazing (helps you are in the middle of nowhere), it's just all the other things that bring it down.....too large of a venue in 2014, no public transportation, no hotels, rural location.

Nobody builds ...

Re: Alpine Valley 2014

Alpine is on its last legs, location in the middle of nowhere has always been terrible, no hotels within a reasonable distance, nobody wants to drink and drive anymore---from Chicago and I used to go every year, but it's just not worth it trying to get home 90 miles at midnight (you can take a train ...

So where is the best place to tailgate, taking public transportation, would you recommend going to the 31st street lot?

Re: Alpine Valley?

I also got busted on 43 going to the concert for speeding, I had just gotten of 12 and was maybe three miles away and got busted. All they wanted was my money, sent in the $200.00 or so and they dropped the charge from the record.

Def would recommend getting on a bus if u are going.

Re: Camden Parking, Letter I wrote to Buffett copy & send - also

What the hell are you doing arriving at 10:00 am for an 8:15 concert???? That's just insane. With all the drinking I wouldn't open any parking lot to at least 3:00 pm for any 8:15 concert. This on you and nobody else.

Re: Alpine Valley?

find it hard to believe he would skip Alpine, it's one of his personal favorite venues and he can sell nearly 40,000 tickets.

Re: Chicago concert???

what are Buffett's people's obsession with Toyota Park? The place is a total and utter dump. Who else plays concerts there? The parking lot is beyond small, if you have a seat on the floor---forget it, you can't see anything....I'm convinced Tinely is a much better option.

Re: Chicago concert???

How about a new venue? Toyota Park is a total disgrace for a concert, horrible sitelines, bad floor seating, small parking lot. It's a soccer field. There's no reason to keep going back there.

Re: Who's going to Toyota Park August 14th??

I'm just giving you some sound advice, go ahead, do what you want, it's your money. I'm just telling you there's no reason to spend $150.00 for a ticket when you could get the same ticket for less than $75.00 a week before the show. In fact, the resale value is so bad for a Toyota Park show a friend ...

Re: Who's going to Toyota Park August 14th??

Why would anyone spend $150.00 per ticket after all the taxes and charges right now? That's just crazy when you can get these same tickets for around half the price on the week leading up to the show. JB tickets at Toyota (Alpine the tickets have much more value) have no resale value at all and ...

How will the economy effect Buffett Tickets?

Any ideas? I live in Chicago and I'm not buying any tickets for Bridgeview, will wait until the event gets closer and get them on Craigs List, last year they were selling for under face value days before the concert. I think a lot of people are gonna give thoughts to shelling out hundreds of dollars ...

What's the deal with no intermission?

I, for one, enjoy the intermission, it gives JB a break, gives us a break, and restarts and re-energizes the show.

Why would he not have an intermission last night? I'm going Saturday, we're gonna need one at Alpine!
