Who's Going to Great Woods - June 23rd 2012?
I suppose this is safe to start this thread now? My apologies if I jumped the gun. Just found this on LiveNation this morning...

I wonder if they posted this too soon? Still no official info on JB's site.
Oh well...let the planning begin!

So I have lots of reservations in Boston for June.........I'll wait until it's official to cancel ones I don't need but I'm going.......probably hubby too.... 
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I'm getting married this summer
... June 23rd, 2012 was a potential date for the wedding but I nixed that thought last fall when it was brought up knowing it was a potential Buffett Great Woods date.
I'm the Master of my domain ... until July 14th.

Re: Who's Going to Great Woods - June 23rd 2012?
If this is true, I will be going but not having a hotel room this year. With the increased rent I've been paying since the last Buffett show in Great Woods, I won't be able to do that.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Hmmm...Pittsburgh on 6/21 and then all the way back to MA for GW on 6/23?
Doesn't seem logical.

Went the opposite way last year GW is kind of all by itself up here so it's not like it's close to anything.
GW - 7/19
Great Northern MOTM - 7/20-21
Hershey Labor Day Weekend Show - 8/29

True, but last year that was a three day turnaround between GW and Pitt. And then from Pitt to Camden two days later, just a ride across PA really.ScarletB wrote:lime rickie wrote:Hmmm...Pittsburgh on 6/21 and then all the way back to MA for GW on 6/23?Doesn't seem logical.

A Thursday night 6/21 Pitt show and then all the way back to GW for 6/23 seems like it would be a tight squeeze.

when LN or TM puts a ad out for tickets , don't they usually promote the tour name. I didn't see anything saying Welcome to Finland , or, a new tour name .

is this rumored somewhere yet? We are tossing around returning to our virgin JB show but we couldn't survive Pitt and then GW that close together...especially after GW then Camden last year...just ain't as young as we used to be (but then again, who is)

I go to Camden about 5 or 6 times a year, for all different concerts (DMB, ZBB, CSN, etc).aeroparrot wrote:I've been to Camden, you don't want to go anywhere near there.tigzoe wrote:But going to GW wont kill you, Camden on the other hand....Saltx3 wrote:lime rickie wrote:True, but last year that was a three day turnaround between GW and Pitt.

With the lawn seats being reasonably priced, I can go to 3 concerts for what the regular seats cost for one show.
When my boys were a few years younger, we would go over for RiverShark ballgames, and go to the Aquarium.
From the Philly side, you can ride over on the Ferry for only 6 dollars roundtrip.
Would I roam the streets of inner Camden at night? NO.
But I have never felt unsafe on the Camden WaterFront.
but my friends just call me RAGZ; so feel free.

This was posted on FB a Jimmy Buffett page!!!!
I spoke with his road manager yesterday (my uncle) and he assured me they were still working out dates and they should be up within a week or so.

it is not listed on m'ville, ticketmaster or LN! The only thing that is showing is the premier parking which may or may not be real.
this is not an official date at this point in time.
just dont want anyone making plans, changing plans or anything like that until we know for sure!

Re: Who's Going to Great Woods - June 23rd 2012?
I'm banking on the 23rd because it is the date that most fits into my schedule and it is all about me!
But I do wonder if the delay has something to do with new (or enforced) rules the Comcast Center are being urged to follow regarding tailgating. Maybe the town wants them to not open the lot until really late and Buffet's people are balking because they know limited or no tailgating = poor ticket sales.
Or maybe not, what do I know?
