I am going to let you in on a secret. There are many people who describe JB's music as "junk" as well.

How soon should we expect to see those on Ebay?

Often times, brokers pay a significant amount over face to obtain premium seats. In the industry it is referred to as "ice". The payment (or bribe) could be made to anyone who has access to the ticket inventory. Many brokers also have relationships with season ticket holders.

There are other, much more effective ways to keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers. For Gwen Stefani, if you bought tickets, you had to pick them up at will call the day of the show, showing the card you bought them with and your ID. How would one be able to buy tickets if a show was sold out a...

Live Nation is also attemting to sell Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville (Indianapolis area).

Manning will also be in manure ads that southern Indiana is known for. Letterman has said that in southern Indiana is the only place where there are ads for cow manure on TV. Hicksville. :D on Leno one player was asked would it be worse to lose the super bowl or go back to Indiana? It seems the Col...

Last year, "fans" were selling seats for well over $1500ea!!! If I can't get any, I would be willing to try Ticket exchange. Thats all. No scalpers "Fans" have the right to sell whatever they have at the price they want. That is why I will not ever put my tickets on the exchange...

Ahhh...one of my favorites!

As a Dave Matthews fan, I am thrilled that JB is doing a cover of Trippin Billies and not at all surprised.

Last year in Columbus during Gypsies in the Palace, Jimmy sang "We'll party like Dave Matthews does and do the old man pround."

Do you believe this...there are dozens of tix available in sections 5-7, rows H and up, and they are just sitting there ! If anyone were to tell me the JB Great Woods tix would just be there for the taking, I'd have fallen over absolutely stunned! What gives? Well...the show is not Labor Day weeken...

I'm sorry knowing the ins and outs of concert promotion is VERY revelant because without this knowledge you can only assume that your line of thinking is correct where in fact it's not... Do you consider the literally THOUSANDS of tickets that are not even made available to the public for sale beca...

how long have you been a concert promoter?? I am not a promoter (which is irrelevent). I am looking at the situation objectively and logically. When shows sell out in less than 10 minutes, and thousands of average tickets are sold for 30 - 100% over face in the secondary market, concluding that the...

It's so sad that y'all don't realize that it's not the extra expenses that have caused ticket prices to rise 25% - 100% for the same area (although in some cases different venue) in one year alone - IT'S THE GREED OF THE PERFORMERS. In many cases, the tickets were (and still are) underpriced (not r...

ok I'll even go one step further. As I was reading thru this thread someone mentioned that others are not happy with the prices this year. Show your faces!!! It's obvious the man reads or has people who report to him what's going on here. Are y'all to chicken to speak up and say Geez dude you're ma...

I am all for a free market when it comes to tickets. Let the promoter/artist charge whatever they want. That doesn't mean you have to pay full price. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Now all the complainers... SHUT UP and listen to the show on RM! :roll: You're welcome! It looks like you added a ...

$130 for a ticket is a highway robbery, and an insult to all Parrotheads. Even though Wrigley Field and Jimmy Buffett are two of my favorite things, I'll be skipping this year. For some Cubs and Parrotheads, this might seem like the ultimate experience, to me it's the ultimate sell-out. Concert tic...

$130 per! Thats why Jimmy is NOT playing at tweeter or Alpine Valley. It's all about the $$$. wow! How much will the scalpers charge :lol: How much will wrigley field tickets charge? :o Money talks while Bull$hit walks. I agree. If he had played Alpine, there is no way the Chicago shows would sell ...

Under 30 here, 28 actually. I am meeting up with friends that live out there. At this point I am not sure of the Friday plan from M'ville to TR. Hopefully we will finalize soon! I too am staying with a friend that lives out there. I am 25. Don't think we will be going to TR though. Heck, we still h...

I have to ask. How many of the BNers going to Vegas are under 30?

Anyone going to be in town on Thursday evening?
