Tickets for Buffettnews?

parrotheadstueby · Post by **parrotheadstueby** » August 24, 2006 5:17 pm

Do you think it is possible for Buffetnews (or any beloved administrator in charge) to get a group of tickets for concerts. Maybe these tickets would be available first to Buffetnews fans to purchase. Many parrothead clubs are able to reserve tickets for members who do charity work.

Maybe with some many people here we could accomplish some world peace or charity work and get tickets available to us before stub hub, ticketmaster, corporate execs, and high rollers.

PS-thank you guys for helping me cope with the post concert letdown by reading your posts.

That sounds possible, lots of work but possible. If you were gonna put any work into something like that thought why wouldn't we just do some kind of fundraiser and just book Jimmy for a show some where in the states. Because you couldn't get enough tickets for everyone but we could find a venue big enough for all active members.

I personally think this would be a GREAT idea!

Don't know if it would be possible. It would be great. I know in some instances Ticketmaster has allowed fan clubs to give tickets to members but the stipulation being that it was a paid membership (sort of like the Dave Matthews Band does).

you would still get the same scalper problems........they would just register with BuffettNews.........IT would probably work in that a lot of fans aren't on BN so you could get some type of tickets......but again a majority would be held back for the general public...and there usually is a fee to join!!

Based on what I've heard that you have to be at least 90 miles away from the nearest PHC to form one, I think that MIGHT be a bit problematical.....

There is no such thing as internet miles. If there isn't a rule in place fight it til they let you in then let em change the rule.

Wouldn't this sort of qualify already as a BNPHC.... ?

Didn't we try this once before?

I agree! I was always curious why bn was not an official parrothead club. What can we do about this???

parrotheadstueby · Post by **parrotheadstueby** » August 24, 2006 10:09 pm

love the idea of a Buffetnews club-maybe a t-shirt or tailgate sticker-or dues to aid charity work so scalpers would not joinor buffetnews bounty hunters to hunt them down-and of course this will all be done by 9/14

Great idea!!

Of course, we'd have to have a paid staff member to keep track of all the tickets and ticket requests to all of the concerts, not to mention the changes in plans, losses, etc, etc, etc

But we should still have a club, even if we dont get into tickets, eh?
