At past openings, Jimmy has played about 45 minutes to an hour, for roughly $75 - $80 per person. For $250, maybe that extends his playing time. However, keep in mind that all of the proceeds go to charity, you get unlimited food and drinks, and you will be up close and personal... maybe intimate even!!

It is My Birthday, They should give me tickets............. I could just go down early for MOTM and crashg with BG...........

Several of the CIP openings that JB has played have sold for about $250. per ticket. That is actually what CIP corporate told us we would have to charge if Jimmy was going to appear. when we worked with them at the Cincinnati opening, originally Jimmy was scheduled here. then when there was a problem with construction and it had to be rescheduled they had it the sam,e weekend as the Margaritaville Aninversary party, so of course he did not appear.
