Wondering if Jimmy may petition for Surfboards or boats to be allowed into the parking lot......

THe forecast is making me rethink being any version of a shark girl as I'm sure I'll be soaked and need to change. Also making me debate taking off a 1/2 day. Do we think the masses will still be doing a long tailgate? I know the BF isn't tailgating in the rain for very long. UGH!

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE FRIDAY'S forecast? I keep hoping some how that happens!!!

I hear ya.... Weather guessers showing 51% chance of rain at 1:00-2:00 Thursday. That’s as far as hourly forecast goes It’s gotta keep decreasing from there, right??!!

Yeah, it's boils down to, am I leaving at noonish to be there at 1ish. Or am I leaving at 3ish and getting there at 4ish. And at that point is it worth doing the 30 min of setup, LOL. I guess I'll start stalking the weather starting tonight.

Anyone have any ideas to help...you can't get a real person from ticketmaster on the phone or email

I've had success pulling up the order on the website and then using the "Live Chat" function to talk to someone.

buddy of mine upgraded us from back of pavilion to mid pavilion right after the onsale when I explained you could do that if better or equal priced tickets became available, but there was no change in price at that time. He sent email, & said they responded to his email within minutes. Said everything went pretty seamless. He said you had to buy new tickets, then get refunded your original purchase. It came through within 2 days I believe he said.
You didn't have to go that route a few years back. You just contacted them & they canceled your old tix, issued you new tix.

That's what we did and no answer back from them since we bought the other tickets....Facebook is littered with p*** off people who can't get answers from ticketmaster over refunds for lots of concerts.

No one is home at ticketmaster.

Hoping like hell the weather takes some crazy turn....really hoping for a good show. You were probably right about dead and company and the near sell out...it was a beautiful Friday night not a soggy Thursday.

Hey I'll take it though after the past two years.

Fingers crossed for "turning around". Maybe the small crowd and rain will encourage jimmy to throw the setlist out and just play whatever comes up good or bad

And just like that a email that says the exchange went thru....no refund yet but it's been acknowledged.

Don't think I can get wife to upgrade again...lol

Did they do a swap without a new billing on the better seats or did you have to purchase new tix & they issue a credit on the old ones??

Had to put hase new seats and they are "suppose to credit" us back on the old ones.

So what's the roll call on whose coming in from out of state?
I see Deb Wiles is coming in. WVU.....are you locked & loaded? TailgatingPH?? You're an East Coaster, right?? Did I read Michi was looking for tix?

Whenever I've exchanged with Ticketmaster before they've done all the work and processed the exchange while live-chatting with them. They normally do charge a $10 exchange fee per ticket so if you didn't have to pay that, you got one-up on them. lol

And yes, I'll be coming up from West Virginia. Plan on getting in to town Wednesday afternoon. Wanted to go to Tigers game at 1:00 to knock that park off my list but weather looks even worse tomorrow than Thursday. If it gets rained out, I plan on spending a few hours at MGM Casino/Sportsbook in the afternoon.

I am an East Coaster but will not be making this show. I'm still on Marco Island finishing up a girls trip before heading to Cleveland.

Really hope someone can work on 'Turning Around' ( to msu) the weather for you guys!!

It takes them a few days, which makes you SWEAT! But I did it twice for this show. Refund #1 posted the same time tickets #2 posted on my account. I haven't checked on refund #2, LOL

Thanks for the heads up. I just did the email exchange process. We are in nosebleeds but now in the pavilion. Looking forward to next Thursday

The way it’s looking you’ll be able to shuffle down another 10 rows once the show gets rolling...

that's the plan especially if the weather acts up like it is today. Not gonna lie. I am irritated at the forecast. It would be nice to not have to put long johns on under my Hawaiian shirt.......

What is everyone's plan looking like for getting into the parking lot? I probably won't be there much before 4:30 since the girls and I all have to go to school tomorrow Stupid responsibilities.......

Is the grassy knoll where people plan to be? I would love to get a group pic if we can pull it off and meet a few more BNers.

Hoping the weather gets done tantruming and the sun comes out for a while. I know that is wishful thinking, but it is Bubba, so anything is possible

Not sure about the grassy knoll as it may be the muddy knoll. Nonetheless, all for the group(er) photo if we can pull it off.
We are poopers this year. No tailgate gear other than chairs if we get a break in the rain. We're leaving the homestead at 3:00. Stopping at Bullfrog's for drink & a bite to eat by 3:30. Presume we'll be outta Bullfrogs by 4:30 at latest. Should be at PK by 5:00.
Don the rain gear & go walkabout hopefully.
I can reach out to you by text MJ once we get down there & see if our paths can cross.
Have a fun day at work!

Sounds great. I guess I didn't even think about the knoll being a mudslide. I just thought of it as the meeting place Happy Buffett Day!!!

Can’t wait to see everyone at the show. I’ll be the one wearing a rain poncho...
