If 23 in 3 gets that kind of response I hate to see what your response is to me who had nothing better to do with his time or money and saw him 14 times in 12 months. I must be really pitiful then.
but...just look who you got to sleep with in Vegas? So, where did you and I see shows together last year..Camden, GW, Vegas, FLL, Tampa..any others that I missed??

Are you using a Cable modem or dial up when you try and get tickets. I've even got tickets to Camden and Bristow. I of course released them, but I still had the things.
I gotta go where it's warm.

It is usually easy to pull them up with a high speed connection. However, it can be quite a challenge to submit the order.

It's so nice not to be lenten PHAW anymore
Seriously.....take the advice of the PH's on this thread....put a little effort into it, visit the ticket exchange, come chat with everyone and make friends.....BN'ers rock ~ I guarantee you - you show up at a tailgate - you'll have tickets!

I've always gotten tickets on line with this 56k dial-up coal burner of mine.
Of course, that could change at any time.
The thing is, if you want tickets badly enough, there are ways to get them without paying a ticketwhore.
Unfortunately, ticketbastard seems to have the monopoly on Jimmy Buffett these days.
Your chances are always better if you try for just one or two tickets and are not adamant about only going to a Saturday show. Hell, there are still scattered singles left for the Thursday show in Chicago, and some of the others.
As some of these people have suggested, put forth a little effort, and you'll get tickets. You can also check with the venue as the concert date gets closer, as they usually release more tickets when the actual date gets near. I've even talked to people who've boughten tickets from the box office ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT. People in the parking lot are always selling them for what they paid for them too.
For the record, I'll ONLY get to go to Alpine and the two in Chicago this year.
I've been going since 1987, and in 2001, went to ONLY six concerts.

Sorry if I'm repeating some previous posts, but I didn't bother reading past the first page........
I've gone to 6 shows since sept. '02.......3 of 'em have been in Vegas. I've had no problem getting tix using ticketmaster.com, and once was when I was at work. And I'm sure if the website didn't come through, I woulda found some tix at or near face value on the BN ticket exchange or even ebay.
There's only 4 or 5 shows within 500 miles of San Diego each year, and no one can stop me from going to every one of them

Hell yeah it counts as a show!!! One of the best I've ever been to!!! And I saw him 6 times last year, and I'm going to try and beat that record this year and not feel the least bit bad about it. They're called priorities. If you make the shows a priority, you can go to as many as you like. I don't make the big bucks, I don't have a ton of vacation time, but I spend it all on what makes me happiest!!

I try to go to the great woods show every year but it sells out quickly, and frankly its not fair that some people go to see him that many times when those tickets could be going to first timers or people who can only make it to one show a year, come on people let some of the others have a chance. this doesnt jsut happen with jimmy it was near impossible to get tix to u2 becuase so many people follow them around teh country
you are honestly kidding, right????

Either kidding or obviously WAY out there.
What even more strange are the number of people who have taken the time to respond to his post!!!!!!
I think Jimmy has green armpit hair...THAT should hold us for another 3 days!!

I scrolled through all the pages reading each post because after reading the start I was convinced he was gonna come back on and say he was just joking. I guess I was wrong. What a dork!!!
As someone once said.........."There's no dumbass vaccine!"
He's definately not a parrothead...probably one of the people who just know SYKBH
