If that's the case it may be cheaper to fly to TX to see the show then it would be in Raleigh, NC. :o

Tickets were priced right this year. I've always said that if you want the brokers out of the mix price the tickets high enough that they cannot profit.

It's the Woodlands and you can't tailgate there - wonder if that's a factor?

Ebay scalpers are taking an even bigger hit on the Woodlands concert... no bids on most auctions and a pair of lawn tickets sold for $36.00 [smilie=sad.gif] (fake sadness)

Brokers? Look at the ticket exchange. I can't give away my extras to the Chicago concert. I notice the same issue for a number of others as well.

Its a bear market for Buffett tickets this year....
