Here's my question, how can Alpine guarantee tickets to Buffett at a different venue (Wrigley)? I'm just the messenger here, and I don't know what to think of this. But, in another thread, a season ticket holder posted that he was assured there would be no JB show at Alpine but that he would be gua...

and I think the question should also be, who can sell them out year after year...U2 sells out becuse they might tour once every three years and people are always afraid that they won't tour again...but they can sell out show after show for big dollars which is impressive...

BTW, since there probably isn't going to be an Alpine concert this year; is anyone else wondering when this thread will get shut down? This thread is not dated. It does not imply 2005 in any way. Keep it open until we get our concert, dammit!!!!! This thread does not mention Jimmy, so we can have a...

It's simple economics. Jimmy understands that we will pay. The venues also understand that we will pay. So the fans are getting it from both ends. I'm not complaing, mind you, to me it's worth the money to be able to do the tailgate, see the show, have a great time, and make some hazy memories. But...
