Okay, now THAT was fun! This was a birthday treat for my wife who had no clue we were going to Texas to see Jimmy. I kept telling her that we were going to head out to this park to spend the weekend with a few friends. She was quizzing me for the past couple of months now, but I managed not to revea...

I haven't been able to check in quite as often as I'd like, but as Saturday grows nearer, I'm getting pretty pumped up about this! The weather looks decent, showing Mostly Sunny and 79. I see the metroplex is getting hammered as I write, and we in Tulsa are expecting some storms too. But assuming we...

Kind of a special request here. Is there any organized trip from Tulsa? We were planning to head out Saturday morning and hopefully make it by noon. But if any of the Phan Clubs have anything going, we might want to tag along. We are not members because my wife and I both work evenings (when the mee...

Alright! The countdown is officially on. I was a little concerned that my wife had to work that weekend, but just found out she'll be free after all. This is a surprise birthday trip for her. All she knows is that we're heading out of town for the weekend to visit some park with some interesting wil...

>That sounds like a better plan than the potty police. Who really wants to >sit there and ask a bunch of drunks for money to use the potty. You mean there are going to be drunks at a Buffet concert? Seriously, I am looking forward to this. This is a surprise for my wife who has no idea I'm taking he...

I think this was mentioned before, but you should be able to go to a Ticketmaster outlet and they can scan it to determine if it is legit. Of course that doesn't stop someone from selling good tickets, collecting your money, then showing up at the ticket window the day of the show stating they were ...

My wife and I are traveling in from Tulsa and would love to take part in the pre-show festivities. Unfortunately, I need to work Friday until 10pm so probably won't drive down until early Saturday. Hope to be there by noon if possible (it's a four plus hour drive). What I could do is make myself ava...

The reason there were so many seats available has nothing to do with Cincy, or any other town, selling better than another. Right now there are tickets available for Alpine Valley, which up until today was sold out too. Each venue is different, but sometimes the promotors turn in their allocated tic...

Okay, let's not get into city bashing. Save that for the football season :) Parrotheads are great people wherever they may come from. It was just an observation that the Northeast and Great Lakes get shows every year, and often at the same venues, while other regions, mainly in the West, don't get m...

Just curious if anyone knows why Jimmy plays some venues and cities quite often and we never see him elsewhere. I know, Riverbend, Alpine Valley, Great Woods and Jones Beach are popular and they are obviously making money. But does he ever play Kansas City, St Louis, or Boise (had to throw that one ...

I guess the real question is whether you want to pay premium for seats in the very back of the pavillion, or get the lawn seats for a whole lot less. I'd pay the $136, or whatever it is with fees, to be in the first couple of sections in the pavillion, but to sit in the back very back for a crappy v...

Well, I've never been to Noblesville, but I can almost assure you that lawn seating means "no seats". Lawn just means you get a piece of the lawn. There are no seats. Some places won't even allow you to bring a blanket. There are pros and cons about the lawn. Pros are that it's a helluva l...

My wife (then girlfriend) got a call from what is likely the same guy a couple of years ago. He wanted her to wire $500 and he would deliver two backstage passes. Says he was a promoter and gave a Florida address. I had my doubts, especially with the Western Union bit. I told her something didn't se...

I've seen some people asking how this guy is finding us. He contacted my wife last year. It was right after I posted an ad looking for tickets here on the BN web site. He even said that's how he found the number. He said he had backstage passes for the show at Blossom. Wanted something like $500. I ...

I love it! A concert that fans can see (Ticketmaster not involved). :D I live in Tulsa and we don't see Jimmy in mid-America much. But I think I'd travel almost anywhere, especially for a private party like this. While most fans live in the Northeast, I think many would schedule a vacation to Florid...

Good luck finding parking. My first bit of advice is don't be foolish into thinking you can drive to Wrigley Field three (or four or even five) hours before the show and actually think you'll get a parking spot. In fact, during game days, the only people allowed to park on the street anywhere near W...

The only advantage to high speed internet is that when you get that ugly message saying the TM server is busy, you can get back to the previous page quickly. First tip, get your credit card information into the system before you attempt to make a purchase. There is a place you can Create an Account....

I had a situation come up once where I never received the tickets from Ticketmaster. I live in Oklahoma and the show was in Minneapolis, where my family lives. As fate would have it, my girlfriend got seriously ill days before the show and we couldn't go. I kept calling TM to find out what I do abou...

Hey North (btw, I've been to Edmonton several times.... and outside of it making Minneapolis seem like the tropics in the winter, it's a damn nice town). Anyway, thanks for the info. I was quite happy with section 211 but saw the tix in 229 and my thought was that it's at least a little closer. I've...

First of all, this will be my very first Buffett concert so I want to have an awesome time. I'll be driving in from out of town so want to know where the real phinheads will be partying before the show. Second, I feel lucky that I managed to snag a pair of tickets in section 211 row K, because just ...
