Re: An open letter to Mr. Buffett

they are NOT full price because you don't have to pay the ticket agency fees (around $18 dollars) How's this...they are face value. There's no additional discount. I'll also say that I'm in several fan clubs for various artists and when the club does tix, it's always face value and without the fees...

Re: An open letter to Mr. Buffett

I think the tickets generally sell anyway -- eventually. I really don't believe that anyone's trying to kill the club tix, I think they just are dropping these events in a moment's notice and believe that folks who really want to see the show have the means to do so. When no one knows the date, the ...

Re: Las Vegas for non gamblers?

Head downtown to Freemont street in the evening. They have the overhead light show every hour after dark. There's great people watching. And there are some pretty inexpensive shows. The New Rat Pack at the Plaza puts on a really super show. And the cocktails downtown are significantly cheaper than o...

Not a PHC member but it does seem that PHC members always think that they should be entiltled to tickets for whatever reason... :roll: Not an active PHC member here and don't get club tickets but I do kinda think active members are somewhat entitled... They do a load of good in JB's name and have h...

Re: An open letter to Mr. Buffett

The concert folks contacted the clubs in New England late yesterday about it. Seems we have until Saturday to give them a count. That means they are holding the block out of the general ticket sale on Saturday. If the clubs don't commit to all, the rest will be turned back in and then made available...

Re: An open letter to Mr. Buffett

I don't know that they really have to do much to cut back on requests. I know that in New England, for the last several years there have been a surplus of club tix. All of the clubs have been turning them back in. that may be the case, re: turnbacks, but at the same time, w/ such short turnarounds,...

I propose that this song be played at the close of every Parrothead event from this point forward.

I suspect after last year's little furor they are going to be a bit more careful about rolling out the schedule.

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.

I've actually moved past the "I want an explanation" thing. I get that, for whatever reason, a response ain't comin. I can deal with it. I do, however, have to question the wisdom of then agreeing to do a private function in the same city at the same time as the shelved concerts. It seems ...

Re: Steve Wynn declares war on ticket brokers

I think a lot of this is hot air. Back in June, when the rumors first started flying about a potential Garth deal, and Garth had the "test concert", the story on the street was that Garth was exceptionally concerned about the cost of tickets for shows in Vegas, and didn't want to become an...

Re: Jimmy does private concert in Vegas in Oct.

I was in Vegas the weekend of the 17th playing with friends. We decided to go ahead and go with the booked plans after the concert was shelved. Went to M'ville for breakfast one morning. Had a old Buffett concert T on and the employees were going overboard to apologize for the concert cancellation. ...

Re: Do I take a shot or not?

It's absolutely impossible to get the flu from a flu shot. Ask any doctor. You won't find a legitimate one who says otherwise. The flu shot, however, only protects you against a particular strain of the flu. The CDC guess each year which strain is the one we go after, and the shots are built around ...
