Hi everybody, sorry a lot of you got burned. It has probably already been suggested, but it is certainly worth repeating: it is time for the folks in Margaritaville to create a mail order ticket system. Mail orders have been successful for artists like The Dead, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam and Phil Lesh. I can think of no other way to give the TRUE fan an edge over the scalpers and the corporate partners that these venues must satisfy.

I agree with the mail order. It would be worth a try. I know it works well for Phish. They charge one price for all tickets and it depends on luck as to whether you end up with lawn or pavilion. Over the past few years we have had lawn and pavilion both, luck of the draw. Then at a later date Ticketmaster can sell the remaining seats to the scalpers. I am sure the reason Buffett concerts are not done this way is because it involves alot of extra work. Sure, scalpers could still purchase through mail order but I don't think there would be as many of them buying tickets this way.
