I'm so bummed - I really wanted to get out to Chicago/Tinley Park to see JB and meet everyone! Now I have to go to this wedding <sigh>.

Anyone need 2 extra tickets? They're in section 205. Let me know!

Jump back a page (#5) for the current list.

How awesome are your seats? I have awesome seats 2nd Row (103 B) for Thrusday and if I can get a job covered - there is the Lawn for Saturday.

That thought did cross my mind, especially since it's a shot-gun wedding (they met in Dec, engaged in March, wedding in August), but this is a good friend and my husband won't let me bail out!

I think I'll tell the next friend that gets married to work around my JB tour schedule

Now I have to tell her she ruined TWO concerts that I had already bought tickets for!

With Alpine over, it is time to focus on Tinley park. Does anyone know of any bus trips going to the theatre???????????????

Here's a bus trip from the city... http://www.bar1events.com/events/detail.asp?eventID=36

We did this a couple years ago and it was a good time.... not enough time to tailgate, but it was fun on the bus.

Thanks IU, I didn't get a chance to meet y'all at Alpine, are you going to the Thursday show?

Why not start up the road with a little Oak Park Ave Pub Crawl - Im always in the mood for a few pints of Guinness at my old waterin hole Teehans - well before they remodled the place.

Any BN'ers interested in a possible Pub Crawl Wednesday Night for a little pre-party to Thursday?

Have to work the day of the concert....trying to leave early bout noon since it is a two hour drive. So, I think my preparty will have to wait for the tailgating!

Either that or have someone else drive---and bring yourself a crap load of airline bottles to drink on the way

Good advice, I usually have a "couple" of Coronas on the way. Just a "couple".

Thought I would try to help another bner out--I bought a single Saturday night ticket, via the BN ticket exchange, from "slink" in Kansas City and he is still selling a single Thursday night ticket. He was great to deal with, and I would love for him to be able to sell the ticket to a parrothead from BN--if anyone needs an extra pavillion seat, do check out his posting!

Looks like The Horsemen Society of Illinois will be doing a LIVE radio broadcast from the parking lot. You have heard all of our drunk arses on Radio Margaritaville, now listen to us before you go into the show. We will be taking requests for songs and such... so stop by, offer us jello shots, booze, and anythign but Macro Brews ( aka Bud, Miller, Corona)

I'm not going to Chicago (unless I win that CMT contest) but I saw Gumby in here and didn't want to miss the opportunity to hump him!! So, get over here big guy!!!

This is from the Tweeter Center site -

"Tailgating and drinking are not permitted in Tweeter Center parking lots, per a Village of Tinley Park ordinance. A wide variety of food and beverages are available inside the Tweeter Center before and during every performance"

I know people who go to concerts there often, and verify lots do not open until 2 hours before show. We arrive at 8:00 AM here on the East coast. Can someone verify this? Or does Jimmy pay off the twon to let his people in early?

djtommyt · Post by **djtommyt** » July 22, 2004 5:50 pm

Tinley Park allows tailgating at Buffett ONLY. There is a variance in the local ordinance that allows this. Gates usually open at 2 pm, but sometimes you can get in before that. I have been in as early at 12:30.

Refer back to page 3 on this thread or read the Saturday thread for more info.

and on occasion I know I have been in the lot til like 1am. Well at least I did in 2000, had to sober up a bit to make it to the bar. Other years---im lucky i found my car, let alone know what time I made it home
