CIP Madison Jan. 14...... worth it to go without tickets?

Post by Margaritavillewis »

We are thinking of going to the Madison show but have no way to get in, anyone else thinking of going and hanging out? Think we will be able to see inside at all? Comments?

I'd say yes.

Check out this thread started by somebody who didn't get tickets but went to the Indy CIP opening anyways.

GO!

As prthd4353 said, us ticket-less had fun in Downer's Grove too! See the last few pages of this thread.

It was cold and threatened crappy, but there were probably 50 or so(?) of us out on the sidewalk, and it was a great time! If it's set up the same, you may potentially have a better view than some of the winners inside (not that I'm calling you a loser! :wink: :D ) , and you should be able to hear fine.

And seeing as how Alpine is one of Jimmy's favorite spots, you may even get extra special treatment!

I gotta get there... somehow, someway...

hate to state the obvious, but isn't it rather cold outside to be sitting on a car hoping to hear some Buffett? I don't think they'll have the doors and windows open for this show for the parking lot to hear. As cool as THAT would be.

That said, I'll be outside the CIP in Madison, so I'll cya there :):)
