Wow...I just don't get the hatred going on here. Reality is supply and demand....reality is that Buffett sells out his concerts in 15-90 minutes. Reality is that if you can't get a ticket through TM or CC or whatever, you need to get one from another source. Since Buffett tickets are in high demand...

What you're doing isn't business; it's scalping, and it sucks. But its legal in Georgia and many other states. If someone wants to change it, then there are two ways to do it. Make people show an ID upon entry (like the Masters) or have all tickets General Admission. Ticket sales are first come, fi...

Business is business; if I have a chance to make money I'm going to take it. I don't go out and buy hundreds (or even tens) of tickets. I usually get about four and plan on selling two. If I get a good enough offer, the other two go as well. Everyone out there has the same opportunity to purchase t...

It's a 10,000 seat arena, so on the small side. Every seat is therefore relatively close to the stage. For other concerts I've been to there, seating is sold behind the stage. If you haven't been to the Mohegan Sun before, it would be worth the trip just to see it. I would guess, no tailgating allow...

I got decent seats to Fenway last year on Ebay. Paid about $10 over Ticketmaster price, which I don't consider to be too bad. One of the tricks with Ebay is to be patient. I agree with a previous post; set your bidding limit and don't exceed it. Eventually, good seats will become available at a reas...

Gillette Stadium - Foxboro

Phily is scheduled for two shows in August. Chicago is rumored for two in early September. How come Foxboro is only rumored for one show in July. Jimmy sold out 2 shows at Fenway Park in less time than it took to blink. I know Gillette stadium is big, but the fan base here in New England is bigger. ...

Beaches in Antigua

Hi All - I know this has nothing directly to do with Jimmy, but I get the feeling that many of you know a lot about the Caribbean Islands. We are going on a cruise next week that stops in Antigua. I've never been there before. Can anyone recommend a good beach, not too far from where the ship docks ...

Tinley wasn't broke and there's no reason to fix it, I don't care what anyone says, Wrigley is not Buffett freindly and it's gonna be a logistical nightmare. We said the same thing about Fenway and Great Woods last year. Ended up having a great time at Fenway. About ticket prices and availability, ...

This is de ja vu, all over again! Fenway fielded all of the same complaints! The big difference is that the Red Sox don't own their own ticket broker....at least you had a chance to get decent tickets at face value. At Wrigley, if you want anything good, you'll probably need to pay $500 or more. :(...

I hope this isn't accurate, because as historic and fantastic as Jimmy's playing Fenway was, it was a less-than-optimum venue for a concert, as are most stadiums..... :-? once or twice a year in a stadium? fine. a whole tour? ick..... :-?

Before I sound like a whiner. Let me say this. The concert was great. It was louder than my first concert at Great Woods and the crowd was way more into the show. I was suprised how many people just sat and had conversations in my section at GW in 2003. This show was much louder (Not deafening but ...

Our local paper in Hartford said a three year extension. Whatever it is, I hope this doesn't mean the end of labor day weekend concerts at Great Woods. That would be sad.
