Buffett - PRESALE (Foxboro) *** Today 2/16/07 at 10:00

[aeroparrot]

booked a room for both the 2nd and the 8th at extended stay in norton for 84.99/nt. it's only 9 miles from foxboro.

i the rate that is listed on their website and orbitz is higher. if you want this rate you have to call directly. 508-285-7800

That's assuming you use 140 to Foxboro. The only thing is 140 is local roads and you need to look out for the sign because the road changes.

Advice on Foxboro. The locals are very strict about what roads you can use on days of Pats games. Basically, plan on using Route 1 from either 495 (closest) or 95 in Norwood/ Dedham. People try to avoid traffic by cutting through side roads. Don't try, it won't be worth it.

Wow - - - just checking the local scalpers for shits and giggles. 1,495 dollars (aceticket.com) for one ticket to the labor day weekend show in section A2.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL AT BUFFETTNEWS WHO HELPED WITH THE PRE SALE!

That's why I was suggesting the hotels along Route 1 so you could avoid this.

HOORAY for the little guy!!!! Hugs and kisses to everyone who shared the password! It's about time we got a break. Obviously lots of Patriots fans who aren't JB fans and want to make a quick buck. I guess it didn't keep ALL the scalpers out.

I'm sure scalpers read the site and when the password was posted jumped at it!!...we need another way to post passwords....set up through e-mails or something....this won't prevent all scalpers ..but could cut it down a little!!

There are really no way to stop it. Scalping in mass market quantities should be illegal. Sure, I will swing by Fenway Park some nights and try to grab a bleacher seat from some kid looking to make a buck. But guys on the internet who advertise on tv and on buses and billboards who make 3,000 or more for a single ticket - no f'n way.

The ONLY way for this to end is if people stop paying. Just stop. Don't support it.

Exactly. Last June, I walked over to Fenway from Blanchard Street and there was this guy who was selling one of his tickets for half the price it would have been. I grabbed it and saw Ortiz hit the game winning home run that day.

A friend of mine at the Four Points Sheraton in Norwood told me this morning that people have been calling quite a bit for Labor Day weekend. He laughed because they are usually empty with everyone down on the Cape and the islands . . . they are thinking about doing some Buffett theme at their bar the night before the show but he said it is just talk.

Forgot about this hotel. I will add it to the one down in Gatherings. But that's cool.

as far as the parking lots go - they will open when people get there. They said the same thing a couple years back when the Pats had an 8:00 sunday night ESPN game. It was like 2 degrees outside with this painfully consistent sleet and people showed up at like 11AM. I know that is later then most show up at Great Woods but the point is the lots will all be full by 3:30. Show up early.

Just checked Ticketmaster and it now noted that my tickets have been printed and mailed out. Checked Amex and the cost went through. It's good!
