Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
WOW! THE PARROTTHEADS ARE p***!! I feel your frustration and disappointment! While it is a BIG bummer to have spent some money and planned vacations around tour date rumors or what we think are non-rumors... THIS IS LIFE... always subject to change! We have to learn to "roll with the punches&q...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
I just hope the explanation doesn't come at Nissan in the form of "That's it, friends and neighbors. We're done touring." *shudder* I've wondered about this aspect of it as well. We all know the road is hell and Jimmy's been on it for almost 40yrs. Could be this is the tipping point. Coul...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
This was a statement put out regarding the LandShark Stadium deal a while back: "Though terms of the contract were not disclosed, two people close to the deal said they were told Buffett is not paying a straight rights fee but instead will compensate Ross through appearances, other marketing op...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
with no explanation for why the shows were cancelled, me thinks there was a significant issue with poor ticket sales. That's the most likely explanation. If he can't sell out the MGM once, it makes no sense to book it for a second and third night. With two of the four shows cancelled, it does not m...

Re: Not happy about the canceled West Coast Dates!
We love Jimmy- and will always try to find a way to give him the benefit of the doubt. But this was pretty cold. Like many others-we bought airfare & booked rooms and will do Vegas regardless of Jimmy being there or not. Been doing this drill for many years- creatures of habit, I guess. The issu...

Re: Are the October Vegas shows history?
http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=76998 Here's where it's being discussed. Thanks SMLCHNG. I have been following that one for awhile as well. Just seems that a lot of distressed concert goers are gathering here in this forum with concerns. Some I've talked to are just now he...

Are the October Vegas shows history?
It's looking more and more like the October Vegas shows are history. They recently dropped off of Pollstar just a couple of days ago ( joining the Seattle show that vanished more than a week ago.) I think there needs to be a thread that deals with any definitive information on this issue. Hopefully ...

Re: Who's going to Vegas 10/24/09 ?
There's been a lot of hand wringing of late due to the recent cancellation of the Seattle show- and the insinuation as to what it might mean to the Vegas dates and the rest of the West Coast leg of the tour. I 'd say to all you October Vegas Phans- hang tight. I tend to agree with idea that this is ...

Dean - I think we all just want to get good seats....I hope I am not working! To get the best seats, you need to wait til the day of the show. Thats what I do every year and always end up with tickets I could never find on ticketmaster (and the market for buyers has never been better than it will b...

Re: Who's going to Vegas 10/24/09 ?
Something tells me Vegas ticket sale dates will be announced very soon. I'm still guessing they'll be announced for sale on April 27- we'll see. As we wait and anticipate and sip our imaginary Havanas & Bananas..and Bahama Mamas...and such...here's yet another "let's re-live it" video ...

Room rates have gone up a bit at the Flamingo since we booked a couple months ago... Present rates: Fri-$175, Sat-$175, Sun- $95. Obviously the U2 announcement (along with Jimmy in town) has spiked their rates. This always happens and it's all speculative. That's the price their hoping to charge you...

Re: Who's going to Vegas 10/24/09 ?
You are getting me pretty excited about this concert! I went to Vegas for the first time ever last summer and the waiter at Margaritaville was telling me the big party that Buffett brings when he's in town and I had to experience it. Do you know when the Vegas shows usually go on sale? Well last ye...

Re: Who's going to Vegas 10/24/09 ?
Vegas is definitely the place to see Jimmy.... will be my third time (in the last 3 years...) However unfortunately I can only go to one show so I'm going to be a "first weekender" this time... My hope is maybe next year I can go to both shows but it really has to do more with my schedule...

Allright, Karen!
I knew you were out there.
Slowly but surely, Second Weekenders will start to clamber aboard this Leaky Tiki on it's slow cruise to Vegas.
(It was getting a little lonely back there on Page 2! )
Vegas & You- at Weekend 2!
