Hmmmm. Interesting...... I want to see if I can make this happen.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Tailgating at Tinley Park
I literally got off the phone with a person at the Tinley Park City Hall, and they said that there will be tailgating at the venue..............BUT, the lots will open 3 hours BEFORE the show (show starts at 8!), therefore the tailgating will start at 5:00! That came from the chief of police and the commisioner! To me it's not worth it to get there and barely have enough time to eat and have a coctail before the show, and I definatelly know I won't buy a $9.50 beer for myself let-alone the other 10 people that were going with me! Oh well, guess I'm going to go to Alpine when he comes there.

Chicago Tailgating!
I just saw this on First Midwest Bank Amphitheater's Facebook page.....

For Jimmy Buffett: You WILL be allowed to tailgate. The parking lots will open at 3:30 pm- no sooner. We are only permitting tailgating for this show so it does not change our standard policy. You cannot remain in the lots during the show. We will not be allowing boats/trailer/ or port-o-lets into the lots. Limo fees will be $50 and busses/ large vehicles will be $100 (limo buses will also fall into this category). Any vehicle that isnt a limo and takes up more than one space will be considered an over sized vehicle. All vehicles must leave the lots at the end of the night- there will be no overnight parking allowed.

Re: Tailgating at Tinley Park
And when there is traffic overflowing at the gates . . .They will open at 2pm as they always had before.
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

Re: Who's going to Chicago .. June 30th, 2012
based on previous history (unless they learned from Toyota park) there will be about 3 porta johns for the entire lot.
tailgaiting will begin at the Holiday Inn and then move over when the venue opens the lot.

Re: Who's going to Chicago .. June 30th, 2012
Don't like the "late" opening of the gates? There is a way around this..... There are plenty of bars within a 5 mile radius of the venue. Have one person stay somewhat sober, and let everyone else drink. Bars are usually open by 10am.
Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?
Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

Re: Who's going to Chicago .. June 30th, 2012
The more I think about it, the more I'm liking the idea of being back at Tinley.
Toyota Park was too close to home...going to Tinley will be more of a mini-vacation since we will be staying overnight.
Is there any transportation to/from the Holiday Inn? I know one year the Chicago PHC had some buses but we aren't members any longer...

Re: Who's going to Chicago .. June 30th, 2012
Help!!
Can someone please give me some information about the ticket prices for Jimmy Buffett at FMBA in Tinley? I see on Ticketmaster and/or Live Nation that there are only 2 prices.
$36+$10.50=$46.50 and $136+$21=$157.
Are these the only 2 prices? I'm guessing the $46.50 are lawn tickets? Will there be more choices for pavilion seats other than $157.
I've been going to FMBA for concerts for years and there always has been multiple ticket prices for pavilion seats. Any information would be a great help!
Thanks in advance!

I had a conversation again today with my contact at FMBA. We spoke directly ofejr wrote:based on previous history (unless they learned from Toyota park) there will be about 3 porta johns for the entire lot.
porta-potties!
I conveyed the importance of their improving the number & locations of said "potties"...
She assured me that the situation will be handled better this time!
