It used to be 2 or 3 a year but now I am planning for maybe 1 show a year.
90% of the usual stops feature basically the same set list. There's nothing wrong with that except when it costs $150 a ticket to hear the same songs.
I wont do lawn seats anymore as I am too old to put up with people puking nearby and being wedged into a spot for a view from 2 football fields away.
I think about things like "would I get more out of spending $4,000 to see Jimmy in Tahiti or by spending half as much to spend a week fly fishing in the Bahamas or near the Bering Sea. "
It's not a hard choice when I think about it that way.
But when I am searching for those new harbors, Jimmy's music will be playing.

I don't want to live on that kind of island
No, I don't want to swim in a roped off sea.
Too much for me, too much for me
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free.

I've been to 13 this year, 14 if you count Jazz At Lincoln Center where JB was one of 5 performers but he only did 2 songs. I have one more this year, I'll be at the Saturday Tampa show next month. For many years I only went to one show per year - 1998 was the first year I went to 2 and 2000 was the first year I traveled out of NY for a Buffett show. This is the 4th year in a row I've made it into double figures, before that I think my high for one year was about 7. If I make it to 100 shows I may stop going after that.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

I answered 3 since I'll have that many each of the past two years. It'd been too long since my last....looking at my calendar, that would be the gap from May '04 to April '06.
Don't ask about the gap from Sept '94 to May '01. My therapist doesn't want me talking about it.
