Re: Who's going to Alpine Valley - June 26th 2010

This is the first I've heard of the $20 parking fee. That's obviously just another way for AV or Live Nation to pad the revenue a little bit. What As for getting stuck in lines, that's a lesson I learned years ago. If you have a 2 hour drive from (Chicago for example) and you want to be in the lot t...

Re: The official 2008 Play "Turning Around" in Detroit

"Turning Around" was in the movie 'Summer Rental' with John Candy (just in case you didn't know, but you probably did...) Another coincident to this is that during Spring Break '94, my buddies and I were in the car on the way to Key West when the news came on the radio that Candy had died....

Beware of ticket scams!!

Please take caution whenever buying tickets from anyone online via Craiglist or whatever. These crooks are pretty sophisticated these days and have figured out the answers to all your questions that you think will uncover a scam. They'll talk to you on the phone, have friendly email conversations, m...

Re: Who's going to Alpine Valley - June 26th 2010

I'm depressed.... (a little) This will be the first Alpine show I've missed in the last 15 years (although the reason I'm missing it is to spend the weekend at my friends lake cottage in MI, so not all that bad and I think I can create a 'Buffett-like' environment while there). AV is one of my favor...

Re: Who else here hates "Yellow Submarine"?

Been looking at the set lists as I prep for my Chicago and Wisconsin upcoming shows and noticed that at almost every show this year, JB is playing 'yellow submarine' by the Beatles during an encore. UGGGGGHHHHH Not only do I not like the Beatles, but I absolutely hate that song. No particular reaso...

That's what I do during "Let's get drunk and screw". I'm not a prude or anything, just always thought that song sucked.

No, but last night I was practicing for Alpine.

I remember hearing radio promos and seeing billboards, just don't remember ever seeing a commercial on TV for JB. But then again, I don't watch much network TV. I'm an ESPN, Fox, Discovery, Travel, HGTV kind of guy.

Commercials on TV promoting JB tour

I don't recall ever seeing this before, but this AM in Chicago on one of the network stations, there was a commercial for the JB shows at Toyota Park. I've heard radio advertisements before but never on tv. Makes me wonder if tix sales are down or there's something else behind this expenditure.

I haven't looked through all the messages but I'm looking for a bus trip leaving from Chicago?

Thanks for the comments. The funny thing is, I've spoken to this person on the phone a number of times and (like any good scam artist), she sounds believable. Also, she's willing to meet with me or someone near Superior to make the exchange for cash, which I would do but I live in Chicago and don't ...

Anyone from or know anyone in Superior WI?

It's a short, silly story, but I'm looking for a trustworthy person to make an exchange of money for tickets in Superior (too far for me to drive and I'm not sending them money first...)
Got anyone in mind you could hook me up with?
Thanks,

Buying online from 'strangers'

I'll preface this by saying that I'm a believer in "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." I found some tickets online through an individual (not a broker, ticketmaster or BNer) who's willing to sell at face value (they're very good seats which is the first thing that makes me ...
