Post by caribcarol »

I have held out buying 2 Buffett tix to the Indiana concert. The concert is now a week away. Any advice on last minute bargains?? Thanks.

There's a good chance you can find tickets below face price in the lot before the concert. Show up early and walk around asking who has an extra.

Yep - saw that first hand at Greatwoods in '06. Some guy cruising the parking lots joining/crashing everyone's tailgating festivities (he was a cool dude though and fun to party with) walked up to the box office half an hour before the show and got a front row ticket. We saw after him the show and he gave us the play by play of how it happened.

I've seen ridiculously good deals on eBay one or two days before the show as well.
Brother Jimmy I have heard the call...where do I send my money?
