Re: What to expect at a VIP Pre Concert party?
First there's the swag bag full of Apple goodies like the Iphone6 prototype and some Crystal to drink at the concert. Then the sumptuous Buffett buffet with unlimited lobster, crab legs and Kobe beef which you should appreciate. The entertainment consists of a request hour where Jimmy plays an acoustic set of requests from the invitees. There are custom dated tour jackets handed out along with a personal meet and greet with Jimmy and Mac. If he likes you you will get an invite to the post concert party usually on a private island with all transportation provided by Jimmy flying you in the Strange Bird.
At least that's what I alway figured one would be like.

You should post this question on FB...I'm pretty sure Chris and Marilyn went to the VIP pre-party at GW, maybe they can share some details.
You only have two options - havin' fun or freakin' out...

You forgot the special backstage seating area in the wings, and the specially-produced Blu-ray DVD of the show you will receive about a week later.LiveandletLiver wrote:First there's the swag bag full of Apple goodies like the Iphone6 prototype and some Crystal to drink at the concert.

And if you are fortunate enough that Jimmy does invite you to the post-concert party you will also receive one of the guitars Jimmy played at the show that night, suitably inscribed and autographed.

I've been to several pre-show parties but I'm not a VIP. Non-VIPs never even see Buffett, forget about meeting him.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

And don't forget, at the after concert party you and Jimmy will exchange cell phone numbers, so you and he can get together the next time he's in town.

I wish he'd stop calling me from Australia. The time difference sucks.

Reefers are typically there. Majority of them. Mville food and landshark. You can take photo and get autographs. Margarillas are there get your photo.
Yep no Jimmy. Still a nice time.

Re: What to expect at a VIP Pre Concert party?
Jimmy usually has my wife & me over before the show.....after all these years it's getting a bit boring for us! 
On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"
If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."
