I got 2 tickets (needed 4) in Section 133. Got in but was dropped 4 times while trying to pay for tickets. $300 for 2 tickets is a RIPOFF!!!!. Then I went back to get a tailgate parking pass - $25 plus $13 in fees. $38 to F****g park. Are you kidding me. I'm thinking of bailing this year and going somewhere else to see him. COMCAST S**KS!!!!!

$38 to park?

That's a bargain. Cost us $150 for Gillette...

Guess you weren't at Gillette last year. What was parking there? $Like 60 for a car and double that for RVs?? It's all a little fuzzy, but I know we would have thought $38 was a bargain there.

I don't like paying for parking either, but just remember that if this was back at the ballparks at Chicago, Boston or even MSG not only would there be no on-site parking, but no real tailgate opportunity either. I would rather pay to park than do the non-tailgate thing.

I know that I should be happy that I got tickets but you just get to a point where you feel that your getting ripped off and its not worth it. I love JB and the concerts and tailgating are something I look foward to all year. I've never had a problem paying $100 for lawn seats at the Tweeter. At least there we were all together. Now everyone is sitting in their own different areas of the park. Nobodys together. I doesn't feel like a true Jimmy Buffett concert at CB park. I was at the 05 shows and didn't like tem either. Sorry about venting, but i'm just not real excited about the show this year.

Blackjack: I am planning on a Sring Phlocking at Bahama Breeze (or a place close by) in April. I've been super busy at work and haven't had a chance to get it going. I hope to get to it later this week.

Sorry we only accept western union money transfers!

Are you going to try on Monday, what a mess that was this morning. I even took the day off of work. I needed 6 got 4 and they are scattered. I have a friend that works for the Phillies and they were able to request 4 each so I am waiting to see where they are going to be.

I was thinking of renting an RV to bring the bunch down, any idea what time they will kick us out of the lot?

Hi everybody!!!!

As you can see, I have not been on BN in about a year!

I let my Mick The Pirate do his thing.

Jeez he has been announcing dates and presales and stuff at an incredible rate this year!

Hope it helps out.

Hope everybody got their tix for Philly.

It isn't the same as the Tweeter in Camden......

Or should I say, Susquehanna Bank Center.........

I love the concerts over there even if it is Camden!

The stars above........

The beautiful view of the Philly skyline..........

And the breeze off the water..........

So, we are going back to CBP...........

Well, we'll just hope it doesn't rain like it did last time!

Can't wait to see everybody!

Mick said that we are meeting up at IKEA for the caravan to the parking lots.

FUNTIME IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!

Those who got parking passes, did I miss it or did it not specify which lot?

Gypsie Girl · Post by **Gypsie Girl** » March 5, 2008 2:19 pm

Mick said there was no specification on parking lots.

Aw, man I had a reply typed out and my internet went the way of ComcastTix this morning and went kaput on me.

I think there is much venting to be done towards Comcast in general. I thought $15 each for the 'convenience charge' was silly considering this is their own gig and they didn't farm it out to Ticketmaster or whatever.

Anyway, we went to a baseball game there once and thought the tailgate setup looked pretty decent, so I am looking forward to it.

I hope everyone's bad ComcastTic adventures will start to fade from memory (after we pay our credit card bills), and by the time the show rolls around we are all going to be ready for a great party. I for one, am just hopeful that it will stop snowing by then and we can make it down from NY. Doesn't appear that winter is going to end this year.

Brrrr. I am so sick of my turtlenecks, boots, gloves, hats, down coat, and especially of scraping off my stupid car which doesn't like the cold any more than I do!
