Good morning Parrotheads. Best of luck to everyone standing in line somewhere right now or waiting nervously behind a keyboard for ticketmaster! Hope we all come out OK.

Lots of luck to all....and let's hope my two computers and four phone lines hold some magic powers in the realm of getting tickets.

Here's looking towards august! Good luck!

I figured you'd go to Charlotte, or is he not playing there this year?

Great (tweeter center) Woods, only place I've ever been, well there was the Fleet Center. I like the outside shows better.

No Charlotte show this year. :(

Can't complain too much as he's been to Raleigh (twice), G-boro, Charlotte, and Columbia, SC for the past FSOTW tour. If I score tickets, this will be my first outdoor show!

I ran into all sorts of server errors, but finally at 10:17 I scored 3 lawn seats to Nissan. My buddy was able to get 6 right off the bat. My group is OK. Hoping everyone else turned out OK!

i was having problems where when it said to enter the word, all there was was a red box! But I finally got through and got 6 for Nissan.
My brother totally got lucky today at the outlets. He was 3rd in line for Pittsburgh (15 minute block since we are in OH). The people who were 2nd in line thought they were getting 3 for Virginia but OH outlets can't sell VA so they gave their tickets to my brother! And he was the last one to get tickets! It's crazy, I tell ya!

I got my lawn seats for Indy. 6 years in a row that I have been lucky. There were only 28 people where I was and I had four people spaced out in line. I was on my way home at 10:08 with my tickets already.

10:00 am sharp got to the word box, did that hit continue waited about 30 seconds got an error page. Didn't get back to the word page until 10:20, no tickets. With high speed internet I was hopeful. That was for Nissan by the way. As usual ticketmaster stinks :evil:

Well the celebration is on. For the first time in history I was able to get tickets to the shows I wanted through TicketMaster. Hip-Hip-Hooray. Of course I didn't realize my dream of sitting in the orchestra (maybe next time), but Lola Bunny and I have our road trip in place. We got 2 in section 304 for Maryland and 2 for the right center section, row HH in Virginia. Our road trip is in place!!!! Look for us in a little green Miata. You won't be able to miss us as we cruise down the highway in our painted Buffett mobile complete with Tiki torches, cawking parrots and swimming sharks. And yes, I have already reserved a spot on the car that will read www.buffettnews.com. Nothing like a piece of free advertising for the best board in cyberspace. Looking forward to meeting some of you during our treck from Northern, New Jersey.
