NFL players only work 16 days a year (19 if they go all the way to the Super Bowl). And only for 3 or 4 hours. And they travel in style and eat well. I think they should play for free. You're leaving out the practicing they do year-long & the many hours they spend every day practicing. Pro play...

JB tickets do not have to be so expensive! Actually they do. The price they are priced right now is very close to the the point where the supply/demand curves meet. Back in the good old days I was able to buy $65 pavilion seats and sell them on ebay for $125-150. Shows sold out quickly and the evil...

Not all the musicians in Buffetts band are well off finanicially. I bet over 50% of the regualrs on this board make more. Good thing you are not betting! Everyone on stage with JB makes very nice $$$$. As for who makes more on the BN board............ There is a huge difference with how much money ...

Buffett is not slipping. Our economy is slipping big time. To those people who think that Jimmy is greedy and that he should be ashamed for ticket prices being so high, I respect your opinion, but I disagree completely. The reality of touring is that touring is expensive. The coral Reefer band does...

Jimmy is filthy rich and should be ashamed! Why in heaven's name should a man be ashamed of being rich?? Ticket prices are at the going rate for an act of his caliber. Oh, and the band members and roadies aren't rich, and they still have to be paid. - Royalties on all his books he has authored. - R...

Why Did Live Nation Take Down The JB Concert Postings?

I was just curious why Live Nation took down the JB concerts.

They were up and now they are gone.

They are listed on Margaritaville.

Just don't get it.

Hope it is a technical glitch.

Not likely, IMHO. It appears that Jimmy and Merriweather have gone their separate ways. :cry: Merriwether is the worst venue ever. The security started getting really strict the last few times Jimmy played there. One year, we had to go to a nearby park to tailgate beforehand because they wouldn't e...

They apparently are sold-out of presale tickets for both shows. As for Alpine, there does not appear to be any presale. But, Alpine is...
