Not talking about playing stadiums, Just playing more dates in each city. The demand is there. I have been fortunate as well to get tics every year until this year. Got skunked but hopefully next year the luck will come back. He didn't cut back on venues because of lack of demand - he did it becaus...

So they were around for about 4 years. Maybe they did some good things in that time but it's not the same as having the 30+ years Jimmy has. They obviously have no songs we know by heart. The R&RHOF and the Grammys are not based on popularity, but on music, including originality, contribution t...

That's cool. When I read about the inductees today, I was thinking Bubba should be there. I never even heard of the Clash. My Email is sent. Ouch. Reminds me of my mother - she's never heard of the Clash either, but that doesn't diminish the fact that they were extremely influential. Sad that Joe S...

Again, tickets for sale by brokers before they go on sale to the public doesn't necessarily mean that they got them out the backdoor of TM. They could very well have been bought by the brokers from season ticket holders who would, in fact, have their tickets before they went on sale to the public.

Re: Such a disappointmet

I thought the new album would have some BRAND NEW SONGS! Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy...when is it going to become about the music and not the KrispyKremes and the trillions and trillions of dollars? Since this is essentially an MCA release (who Jimmy is not contractually obligated too), my sense is that Ji...

Then Pearl Jam got blackballed from most major venues and fell off the radar. Yes, they're back playing now. Yes, they do have a lottery at some ...

Re: What to do

Ok here is a question for you all. I am usually the one who is scrambling for tickets because I was not lucky enough to get my own. This year I ended up with 12 extra lawn tickets. I put an ad on the ticket exchange and have been getting offers of $175.00 - $200.00 each. So now I sit here with 2 th...

Some ideas: Why doesn't Buffett have a pre-sale like other artists do? He could limit the number of tickets available per person on the internet pre-sale and ensure that PH's get at least 2 tickets to the show? Also, what is happening to the Ticket Exchange on this site. Two years ago, I sold ticke...

Let's band together and try to change the system we currently live in. What are you proposing for a more amicable system? And keep in mind, your system needs to be equal in efficiency to the current system (love it or hate it, it distributes 45-60,000 tickets in under 20 minutes to people all over ...

I have always said that if I ever sell tickets, I would make the buyer take a Buffett quiz. Don't score high enough, don't get tickets. It also looks like some of the scalpers are on the ticket buying board here. It says on there "no scalping" but they try it anyway. Gee, I would have nev...
