No harm in showing up at one of the mentioned locations Wednesday and trying to get tickets. If you don't try, you won't know
(But don't count on them having any tickets left to pass out after Wednesday)

Does anyone know when we can get into the parking lot? There is sure to be a huge crowd(traffic jam) if they're not letting us in earlier..... When Obama was in Sarasota this week at 9:00 a.m. people had camped the night b4 on the sidewalk!!!!

Remaining tickets are available starting at 4p.m. today

Yes we can.

BTW, Obama came to my school back in January. The student body only found out about it a few days before the event (three Kennedys were endorsing him that day). Yet the morning of the event the line stretched all the way through campus out into the public and half mile down the road by the time the doors opened.

just noticed on the website that parking for this event will be $5.

[beantownfan]

will this be on radiomargaritaville? (apologies if this question has already been asked)

Just a guitar? I hope he brings some pants, too. Well, it’s JB, maybe not….

I'm guessing that pays for expenses for the amphitheater.

[chrisintampa]

[Elrod]

Tickets, two per person, will be available starting 10 a.m. Wednesday

Remaining tickets are available starting at 4p.m. today [Saturday]

Free tickets were still available three days later? Tampa usually sells out in under an hour.
