Verbatim from http://www.tweetercenter.com/chicago/info.asp " 3. WHAT TIME TO YOU OPEN? Tweeter Center gates open approximately two hours prior to the performance. For example, if your tickets says 7:30 PM, gates will open at 5:30 PM. The parking lots open approximately three hours prior to the...

Here's another question for you...

We're coming into town early Friday for the show and we're staying downtown Friday night. I've been to Chicago many times but have never stayed long enough to party. Where are some great bars to hit on Friday night? Gotta have a game plan!!

The REAL question is- does anybody know what time the parking lot opens? Last year we tried to get there 'early' but were forced to tailgate for a few hours in some arcade parking lot until the gates opened. Either way, we'll be starting early!!

GO WINGS!

I'll be there with 8 other Parrothead's from Michigan. If anyone is still trying to find a hotel, the Super 8 in Mokena (very close to the venue) just opened up a few rooms yesterday because a wedding had them on reserve. I just got my reservation yesterday morning... tel: 708.479.7808. Hoping this ...

Regarding using credit cards at TM outlets, I have never done that but I have been in line when others have done it. At least at the location we were at, it did not hold anything up because they print out the tickets at one computer and paid for them at the next. The people in front of line were luc...

Sounds like a great time, unfortunately I'm going to be out of town that weekend! Please keep us posted as to other happenings! I'm not far from Flint!

Oh yes, I almost forgot to tell you my original ticket buying story from this year. Trial and error on getting these tickets, I guess. We originally wanted Atlanta tickets and I tried CALLING Ticketmaster (what was I thinking?). Anyway, I got through in time but the slut on the other end told me the...

It totally IS luck of the draw, but it s***s that the ol' Supply and Demand is way out of whack here, you know? I have been fortunate since I went to my first Buffett show in 1993, to get tickets every year. Now that he doesn't come to Michigan anymore, I have to road trip to see him, which is cool,...

Yes, I noticed how much more difficult it was to get tickets for ANY show this year. But then again, when there are so few shows, it will be harder to get tickets. I swore I wouldn't go back to Chicago after last year (gag), but that is where I have to go if I want to see Buffett this year. Not too ...

BTW Michiganders, it will ALWAYS be The Knob? Right?!

Fins-ss: Don't waste your trip going to the show in Chicago! Sorry Chi-town, I road tripped it over there last year when Detroit got shut out, and was not impressed with Tweeter at all! Long lines to get into the parking lot took most of the afternoon and then the tailgate situation? We couldn't hav...

LOL Parrothead CMC... I suppose you're a Wolverine? Well, since the *official* dates are up, looks like us Michiganders get screwed again. Guess that's as good of an excuse as any to head to Atlanta... I'll never go to Chicago for a show again! Hey 4evr, head up to Pine Knob for a show sometime, you...

Totally agree about Detroit... We sell out 2 shows in less than 10 minutes whereas Chicago, where I road tripped to see him last year, can hardly sell out at the last minute, plus the venue totally s***s. And for those of you that can't see why anyone would want to stay overnight in Detroit, apparen...
