By the way, gotta give a shout out to Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band, who will once again back up Jimmy for the special event performance. They're great guys, and I'm very happy for and proud of them for earning the honor to play with Jimmy Buffett for another opening.

Did you all see this? Anyone going Saturday night??

"How would you like the chance to open for Jimmy Buffett at his private performance for the new Cheeseburger In Paradise restaurant opening soon at 168th and Dodge? How would you like to win tickets to this special event? Well, Clear Channel Omaha and Corona Extra give you a chance to win both by joining us for the Buffett In Paradise Parrothead Party at McCormack's; 4428 South 140th Street on Old "L" on May 8th; doors at 7:00 p.m.!

If you would like to open for Jimmy at his private performance, we have an Ultimate Jimmy Buffett Karaoke Contest with 20 finalists vying for the chance to sing before Jimmy Buffett!

One lucky couple will win a pair of tickets to the private Jimmy Buffett performance at Cheeseburger In Paradise just by showing up!

The party is in the sand in the MacDome, with Buffett music all night long! There will be a Parrothead costume contest, Corona specials, cheeseburger specials, and margarita specials! There is a $3 cover charge, and you MUST BE 21 OR OLDER TO ATTEND!"

Good luck everyone! And remember - if you don't get tickets, go anyway and maintain a sense of decorum outside. If history repeats itself, it will be well worth your while!

around here, it seems next to impossible to get a chance for the opportunity to buy tickets.
each station has it's own gimmick to how they handle the "lottery"
5 stations at 14 pairs.

instead i will arive early and camp out ... maybe i can hear or see something worthwhile

Anyone have any luck with tickets?

Jimmy Dreams In Omaha · Post by **Jimmy Dreams In Omaha** » May 11, 2004 11:29 am

A non-Jimmy fan friend of mine was gloating to me on how his neighbor got him tickets.

By the end of the week , I will make him take me.
