JIMMY BUFFETT
& the Coral Reefer Band
Two Nights – Two Concerts
FENWAY PARK

BOSTON (April 29, 2004) - Clear Channel Entertainment is proud to announce two performances by Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band in front of the Green Monster at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, Friday, September 10 at 8pm and Sunday, September 12 at 6 pm.

Tickets will go on sale next Saturday, May 8 at 10:00 a.m. at Ticketmaster outlets, through Ticketmaster.com, or by calling (617) 228-6000. Tickets will also be available at the Orpheum Theatre box office, and through teapartyconcerts.com. No tickets will be sold at Fenway Park. In accordance with the City of Boston license, no tailgating will be allowed. The use of public transportation is encouraged. Doors for Friday’s performance will open at 6 pm and for Sunday’s performance, doors will open at 4 pm.

Singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett uses his travels and storytelling skills to explain the world at large to his far-flung legion of fans, affectionately known as Parrotheads, many of whom are professionals by day, and transform into colorful, tropical outrageously-outfitted characters at night when Jimmy comes to town.

Jimmy Buffett has recorded thirty-eight records, most of which have gone gold, platinum or multi- platinum, including his recording Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads, one of the biggest selling box sets in MCA Records history.

Jimmy released a number of records in 2003: Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection, (which was recently certified double platinum) a two-CD retrospective, which spans 30 years of his career (1973-2003) as well as four live double CDs from concerts that were part of his 2003 summer tour, including his concert in Mansfield, MA.

Additionally, a mini DVD was released in 2003, MiniMatinee #1, which contains six songs, including the #1 hit, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," his award winning duet with Alan Jackson. Jimmy and Alan won "Vocal Event Of The Year" at the 2003 CMAs, and were also nominated for a 2004 Grammy Award, "Best Country Collaboration With Vocals." 2004 will see the release of Jimmy's new CD, the country flavored, License To Chill.

I thought the $80 was actually cheap, I was planning them being more.

AFTER all the convenience charges. maybe ... (and even then I'm pretty sure they didn't cost more than $75.00 as the face price was only $66.00) ...these Fenway seats will be well over $90.00 by the time TicketBastard gets done with your cc. :roll:
