I've always hit ticketmaster right at the tick of 10a, and never had a problem in Vegas.
If you are a member of a PHC, your President can ask the LVPHC if they plan to have any extra tix, and, if so, they can request them for you.

Ticketmaster in person at one of their sales places or on the internet. We don't have any physical locations near where I live, so I'm usually on-line.
If you get a sold out, don't give up. Someone's card may not go through and their tickets will pop back up.
I don't know if Vegas typically sells out right away....I'm talking with experience of trying to get tickets to DTE in Michigan....They say our economy is crap here...but there always seems to be a ton of people picking up Buffett tickets.
Good Luck and welcome to BN!

Join your local Parrothead club. They don't usually get the best seats, but they get seats. When a show gets sold out, that helps.

Ticketmaster online....if you go to an outlet all they are doing is tapping into the same system...but you have to wait in line.....
Be patcient .....it does sell out but there are usually tickets availible.... Beware the floor seats...the floor is flat so if you aren't toward the front or 6' 6" you will have difficulty seeing the stage.......there will be 2 Margaritavisions on either side of the stage so you should be able to see them......good luck!!!!

Re: Best way to get tickets to LV MGM Show??
Do you think the best way to buy tickets to see JB in LV at MGM, would be to call Ticketmaster on phone or try online with Ticketmaster?? And what time does Ticketmaster open... This might be my only chance to see Buffett,just don;t want to screw it up Mon Morning looking for Tickets and come up empty....Thanks

Would love to, but no local club. Nearest is over 100 miles away.TropicalTroubador wrote:Join your local Parrothead club. They don't usually get the best seats, but they get seats. When a show gets sold out, that helps.
