I was told that occasionally, you can go to Ticketmaster a day or two after tics went on sale, and even if the show had sold out, that you might be able to score a few once they have had a chance to digest the surge of the initial sale. So, after getting screwed by Ticketmaster on Saturady for the Camden NJ show, I figured I'd take a shot this afternoon (what the hell do I have to loose). Anyway, initially, Ticketmaster says after searching "Buffett" that there are shows scheduled in my area. When I click on the list of shows, there is no Camden show listed. hmmmmmm.
GOTTA LOVE TICKETMASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have logged in everyday since Saturday on TM and searched Camden, it has been there.

Just checked right now and it is still there, 8/1 Camden Tweeter Center At The Waterfront.

PS - I have had no luck yet though with tickets.

Cincy is in the same boat. It's not listed on their website either. I was told today by a Customer Service Manager that that happens when there are absolutely NO tickets for sale, or the other time, they pull the show manually for a ticket screw up (ie the Cincy Null Ticket Issue).

Man, TM must really hate you all, I am looking at Cincy and Camden right now on TM's website.

No tickets available, but they allow me to search.

Same thing with Atlanta. You look on ticket master and it still allows you to search and still comes up with nothing!! Just say sold out / no chance in hell!

OK, I will take back part of what I just said. I can see both Cincy and Camden on TM and get into each respective's webpage, but Ciincy will not let me search for tickets. Camden will though.

It just allowed me to search Atlanta, but return no tickets.

I have been doing my searchs all requesting only 1 ticket at best available.

TM must hate me. I just logged on again, and if I search 'Jimmy Buffett', and then follow the link to the 'dates scheduled nationally', there is no Camden show?
I'll try searching Camden, just for the hell of it.

This much is true. I was able to pull up some tickets for the NC show yesterday morning. Nothing I was willing to buy, but evidently others here found fairly good seats at that time.

Also with Premier Parking

Post by Catch&Release »

I had the same problem with trying to get a premier parking ticket for the 8/5/06 Chicago show. Ticketmaster had the premier parking for the show listed when tix went on sale on Monday. However, yesterday, there was no listing for premier parking for the show.

I typed "buffett premier parking tinley" into the Ticketmaster search engine and was able to get a link to buy the parking pass.

I had a similar experience with Chicago... it wasn't listed under the dates scheduled nationally... then I happened to notice at the very top of the page, before the national dates, is a section called "Chicago and Downstate IL"... and voila, there it was!

Maybe you have a similar thing happening, with the local at the top. Try it!
