If you are going to be in town next weekend, you should be able to buy tickets at the MGM box office on Saturday morning (provided the on sale date remains the same).

They usually start handing out numbered wristbands at 6am with a lottery for line placement at 9am.

Last year, I got the 8th spot in line and was able to score second row seats!

Keep checking back here for more ticket info as its released and good luck with your trip!

I just talked to a friend and fellow parrothead. After telling him about the Vegas show he text messaged me back saying that someone he knows that works for Bubba said regarding the 9th in LV "that sounds right".

I was 8th in line at the MGM box office.....some of the best seats in the venue are not available at all through ticketmaster....they are released only at the box office.

Also, I had people in front of me buying the cheapest seats in the house....some people don't want to pay $200+ for tickets (which is face value in Vegas).....so they leave them for people like me who will live on ramen noodles for 3 weeks to be up front!

Ticketmaster is not showing any of the shows yet. It is only margaritaville.com.

You BETTER wait!!! All kinds of $hit's gonna happen on the weekend of the 9th!!

Thanks for the info! Hopefully we will be able to get up that early if we aren't too hungover from the night before. If not we may just end up buying tickets on E-bay again like we did last October where we scored pretty decent seats for under face value.

We may have to sell some kids to be able to go again that soon

Thanks again!
Heidi
