I would go for the $105 tickets for sure. If you try to get the more exspensive tickets, you would probably get stuck on the floor, way in the back. At least with the $105 tickets, you should be in the lower bowl and have a decent view. I've been to the MGM show 4 times, and the time I was on the f...

its just a few dollars higher than last year...this bump isn't nearly as bad as the '01 to '02 bump or the addtional $25 per ticket for '03... I understand where you're coming from, with TM fees and add-ons a pair of good seats will be close to $500...unless I can get something to appear in the firs...

Re: Concert Shirts

Help! I am probably asking a stupid question, but as a lifelong Parrothead, and a t-shirt nut, I gotta give it a try! First of all I just ruined a shirt from last year's Tiki Time tour. I am so upset. It was a ladies pink with a design on it that looked like a set of Mardi Gras beads. Very colorful...

The lots opened around 3 last year, but you can always hang out in the Holiday Inn parking lot before the lots open. Many people have done this the past ...
