Thanks!
Tailgating was pretty fun last year! The lot is free, big and spread out. Not much shade, so be sure to bring your EZ Up, but (at least where we were) there was plenty of room to grill, people had cornhole and other games. Margaritaville had their bus there as well as a few other groups.
It was a good scene.

So, it sounds like they do let tailgating to take place....allowed room to put up canopies, allowed grilling, and room for corn hole games, etc. That's what I was hoping to hear!
Thank you!

No parking fee is a bonus!
Thanks again!

We had a great time last year. The parking lots opened early enough (I think it was 9am) to make it a day-long event. Enough time to setup, cook, eat, enjoy, relax, whereas Lakewood, with the noon plot opening, compressed everything and seemed rushed. Only complaint was a low portajon population, could'a used more of those green plastic space shuttles out there.

Ugh. Indoors. I've sat through a cold April rain in Atlanta, mud in Cincinnati, but that's still better than the sterility of an indoor arena. Plus you can hear Jimmy better indoors, and his voice ain't what it used to be. Oh well.

And the date is still not on Margaritaville's Web site. I wonder why.

I've been wondering that as well and if the June 2 date posted earlier will be the actual date or if it is speculation.

I first saw it on the Atlanta Parrothead Clubs facebook page. They even established a date to have cash dollars in to hold tickets. But you're right, no other mention on any sites except Mr. Mayers.

Thank you Jim (and Peter) for validating the date.
(yet another show I gotta miss...)
It is still strange that it is not on the M'ville site yet.

Can someone enlighten an old Parrothead about how the pre-sale works?

There's info on line as to which cards are acceptable under this program and how the process works. Basically if you have an Am Ex card, you can buy tickets before others can, just put the sale on that card.

Wish we were getting a guest band like some other cities are having. Huey Lewis or ZZ Top would be fun to see. Is Jeff Pike in town that Thursday? How 'bout that Zac fellow, he's had a hit or two.....LOL

Thanks. Need to check with some friends and find one with an Amex. So just go online or call whoever has the ticket sales, like Live Nation or Ticketmaster, I guess.
