I really don't want him to have an opening act, but ZZ Top might be fun. I thought those guys still lived in Houston, so it just seemed strange to me. Maybe I need to get a Citi card. I have about as much luck with Ticketmaster (getting the seats I actually want) as I do slot machines.

Looking for answers to questions that bothered him so. 1) Why is ZZ Top (a band formed in Houston) opening for JB in Dallas and not in Houston? 2) Why do I have to wait until 3pm to check into my Woodlands hotel? 3) Ticketmaster says there is a presale going on right now. Does anyone know about that...

Keep in mind that Escape to Margaritaville is coming to Houston in October of 2017 (one of only four cities to debut the musical). http://www.thehobbycenter.org/?q=node/1886 JB is a smart business man. He is going to want to generate some buzz for that show. What better way to do that than a Houston...

I have to admit it was somewhat bizzare. No one in my entire section stood up until the end - not even for the national anthem (Margaritaville). It reminded me of the Vegas concerts when you see a couple sitting down looking confused. It's obvious the casino comped the couple a set of tickets and th...

Someone posted a comment under the "news" section that may be relevant to this whole discussion. Will the card holder have to be present? Comment 32 says the cardholder must be present and they will swipe the card. There are no listings on Stubhub, but I am starting to see some listings on...

I was forwarded a copy of a confirming email from "tixsupport@toyotacentertix.com". The email includes a confirmation number. It also says the following: 1) "Your e-tickets will arrive via e-mail on Thursday, December 02, 2010"; 2) "...if you need the assistance of Customer ...

Assuming it's good, do you think it's Jimmy and Mac, or do the Coral Reefers make an appearance? I saw Jimmy and Mac by themselves in Austin at a Kinky Friedman fundraiser, but that was a relatively small theater. The Toyata Center seats about 19,000. They do have smaller events there and cover the ...

I started this thread, and I'm still not sure about all of this. I went ahead and registered for tickets using a friend's card. He received an email giving him a code to enter and referring him to the website. I did NOT have to put in the am ex number, but I did have to register with the Toyota Cent...

Thanks all. He showed me the email, but it was not directly from Am Ex. He thought it related to some business Platinum account he has. If it's a scam, he's buying me margaritas. If I'm wrong, I buy but I get to go. I can't lose this bet.

A friend of mine showed me an email he received as an American Express card holder. It offered him two free tickets to a Jimmy Buffett concert on December 6, 2010 at the Toyota Center. It even gave him the seat numbers. I checked the Toyota Center and there is nothing scheduled that night. I know he...

Interesting article in the June 29, 2009 New Yorker about how our troops use music, mainly heavy metal, to prepare for battle and to deal with the pressures of war ("Over there: Blam": Talk of the Town section). The article contains the following quote: "A pair of Arkansas National Gu...

Everyone posted what songs they want to hear. My question now is - what song, whether you want to hear it or not, do you think he will start with? Historically, he seems to like 1) Brown Eyed Girl; 2) Piece of Work; and 3) Great Heart. If I were in Vegas and had to bet, I would say POW. I still thin...

He's been heavy into cover tunes as of late, how 'bout. . .\ FREEBIRD!!!! (with my ignited lighter thrust firmly into the night sky!) I think the closest you're going to get to that is the reference in Bama Breeze (at least he mentions the song). My musician friends refer to the song as "stair...

Now that the NCAA Basketball Tournament is over, does anyone want to gamble on set list for the Bama Breeze Tour? I would love it if he kept the same set list from Aguilla, but some how I doubt it. Houston is the first date for the new tour, so what predictions are there for the following: 1) What w...

I just went to ticketmaster pre-sale, and it looks like additional seats have opened up. I was trying to get 6 together on the field, and I got shut out on Monday. I have been trying all week, and sure enough, they were available today (Thursday March 1 at 4:15 pm). It's sectin J, but at least I got...

How do we figure out the internet pre-sale code? Do they give it to Astros season ticket holders? If so, I know plenty of those. Can someone please explain the secret code to me, or is it like the Da Vinchi Code. Has a pre-sale been announced for this show? I haven't seen it on TicketBastard yet. J...

I'm sure there is a thread for this somewhere, but can someone please explain the "internet presale" to me. Can I get tickets early? Who is eligible to buy them? Really looking forward to Houston show.

...but not so much the rest of what Jimmy does, nor his fans. http://neilpeart.net/book_club/index.html Thanks for the post. I grew up on Rush and love the band (I am a drummer so it is a requirement). I appreciate his view on the book, because he is a talented writer. I know his wife and child die...

In the Houston Chronicle there was front page story about the race for governor in Texas. The article mentioned George Bush, Bill Clinton, and John Kerry were all going to make appearances on behalf of their respective party candidates. Kinky Friedman (supported by JB) is an independent candidate, a...
