Re: Why can't I *ever* get the cheap seats?

I have the exact opposite problem (see Tampa Show post). I get right in every time and can't get anything in the first 9 sections. If we could trade problems we'd both be all set!

Tampa Show

This is the second consecutive year I got into Ticketmaser before 10:01 and was offered "best available" in the third tier - Sec 14. How do they sell the first two tiers? Obviously they're not available in this sale.

Great reviews! Although, I have to say if Larry Buffett showed up on stage, the crowd WOULD notice!! :lol: I strongly agree. When I first read that, I thought "Just when I thought He gets it." But, the more I think about it, he is right about some of the crowd. I guess as long as we all g...

I'm not sure I was clear. When driving down the highway I'll get my odometer to start a mile and then watch the mile markers until I travel an actual mile. When I have driven an actual mile my odometer is registering only 8/10ths of a mile and that's generous. I think it's more like 7/10ths. When I...

So when did he put in the Salt, Salt, Salt part? I don't know where it came from, but it provided one of my best concert memories. In 2001 at Great Woods (9/1), the only time I've had seats in one of the front sections, we brought three signs that each said salt. I was sure that Jimmy saw them as h...

The review sounds to me like: From what I see, I can't understand the popularity. Doesn't that define "I don't get it"?

He's the king! The king of somewhere they don't get it.

I agree with "More tix for us"!

I wait until they go on sale then I buy them. I wait until they go on sale, then get shut out on ticket*%stard, then I look on all the message boards so I can try to deal with all those claiming to be "true parrotheads" who haven't missed a show in 30 years, except they just can't make th...

I'd understand all these examples if you'd started with Jimmy is to Mobile, but I see this differently.

Is taking the summer off any real change from the past few years? Hasn't it been mostly spring and fall shows with most of Memorial Day through Labor Day reserved for family R&R? I'm personally damned grateful for the dates we get.


Thanks Deb!

I did email a resume to Raymond James. Have any suggestions on getting it looked at?

As for Dolphin Landings, I'm a little old to be a deck hand, and just took my first sailing class last summer. Need a bookkeeper? :lol:

Relocating to Tampa/St Petersburg

After 40 New England winters, I've decided to "head south 'fore my dream shrinks". I've spent a couple of months exploring, and have decided on the Tampa/St Petersburg area. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or warnings from the phlock. I plan to rent for 6-12 months until I get a goo...

Frets can be replaced. The art is getting the new ones filed level with the rest. They pull out suprizingly easily with needle-nosed pliers. I did it myself once, and screwed up the new ones. I don't know about the cost, but I'd look for a guitarsmith listing and get a quote. Then you'll be able to ...

At Great Woods he always says that he was in Boston when he first heard Come Monday on the radio. He is a master of adding semi-true local flavor.
