Thanks for the update. I was wondering how the tailgating or lack thereof would go down. Not exactly the atmosphere that most of us have come to enjoy. Hopefully next year it will be back to Lakewood! If I'd have known what the rules were going to be we'd have done a bit more. Funny, during the con...

Observations from the Atlanta/Chastain show: We got there around 3:30 and the four Chastain parking lots had signs stating that no one could park there until 4 and it had a list of rules, No loud music, no RVs, no tents, no fires and similar. We went a mile up the road to where there's some restaura...

Thank God for comp tickets. A guy walked into the fire station where a friend works and passed out 15 tickets....

Help a brother out, I looked but don't see the info.

There's a Three Dollar Café on Roswell, probably one of the closest bar and grills, about a mile from the amphitheater to the east. They'd be brain-dead to not have something planned because there's no tailgating allowed in the area. Thanks that was what I was thinking. Since I moved away from the ...

The Atlanta Parrothead Club is doing a psudo-tailgate the Monday before at a place in Marietta. That's about the only event I've heard of.

Just out of curiosity I checked several venues and at least the ones I looked at are not sold out, some not even close. (I looked for two tickets at Frisco, Raleigh, Charlotte, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Mansfield.) No, the seats weren't right down front but you got in the d...

Tickets went on sale this morning for the June 7 (Saturday) Zac Brown Band show at Lakewood Amphitheater. Not a ticket over $100.

I believe the venues set ticket price and its a similar policy for all shows. Scalpers are different, they gig you for near vs far. At Atlanta's Lakewood amphitheater it's even worse, the back rows that cost the same as the front row aren't even covered which is nice if it doesn't rain. 'Course we d...

Last time I looked Lakewood has nothing scheduled for the night Jimmy is at Chastain No but the weekend before is Dave Mathews and the weekend after is Journey/Steve Miller. The previous weekend is a three show spot with Jason Aldean. It puts a lot of pressure on the city and their relationship, and...

The owners of Chastain Park were probably very willing to meet Jimmy's appearance fee which perhaps Lakewood was not willing to do[/quote] Both are owned by the City and Buffett appearing at Lakewood has been the norm for years. Maybe it has something to do with Springsteen appearing at Lakewood at ...

Chastain caters to high end clients. You can buy season tickets although I haven't found out what it costs, their web site has you fill out a form and the venue will then contact you with pricing. Then they have their concert series, A and B, A just went on sale this past Sunday. For a table with 6 ...

Mr. Buffett's entire business empire is based on one thing, fan loyalty and he knows that and speaks of it often. If it was simply based on the quality of his tequila, beer, clothing, food, music, performances, restaurants, etc he would have disappeared years ago. Does he or his management company o...

In my opinion one of the problems at Lakewood was how they were selling tickets. When they'd first go on sale it was 153 reserved or 37 for lawns, give or take a few bucks. Then at some point they'd start selling some of the uncovered reserved seats for the lawn price. They need to have at least thr...

"Now, Madoff made off with all the money" to quote an artist I used to go see. Apparently he ain't the only one......

Gee I don't see a "Who's going to Chastain/Atlanta" thread on the Preconcert gathering page. Anyone going? Anyone? Buller? Buller?

It's been along time since I last attended a concert at Chastain, James Taylor back in 2001 I think it was, and this isn't the neighborhood that's around Lakewood. There's a strong homeowners association in the area that won't put up with certain activities along the streets and noise ordnances are ...
