I've been going to Buffett for the past 15 yrs - only had one rainy show. And it totally deflates the mood of tailgating. Damn Hurricane season

This is the first year I can honestly say there is a lack of interest in many people that I know that want to go to the show. I know its a selected few, but there are other signs I see.

I can understand the lack of interest for a Thursday show, but Saturday ???????. There are plenty of tickets on various websites for face and even the Buffettnews ticket exchange. In past years, if there was a show on Saturday, it was nearly impossible to find tickets at face.

I don't know if it is because

1) It is the week after labor day
2) The economy is hurting and a $150 ticket for an uncovered Pavilion is crazy
3) The concern of the crackdown on drinking in the parking lot this year at the Comcast Center

Any thought or its just me....

At one time Bubba played 4-6 shows at GW.

I think that you are a scalper trying to create a demand because you hoarded and bought too many tickets.

Keep in mind that Bubba always played Labour day weekend at GW until the Deutche Bank PGA came to town. That is why the show has been pushed to the weekend after Labour Day.

"I think that you are a scalper trying to create a demand because you hoarded and bought too many tickets."


First of all, I have never purchased more than two tickets for any JB show in my life, and secondly, the two tickets that I purchased to Saturday's show at Great Woods, I just sold to a buddy of mine (Jim Vail) for face value!

What the hell is it about this forum that makes people go hunting to ulterior motives?! My initial response message was EXACTLY and wholly an effort to address the title of this thread ("Where has the excitement of the Great Woods show gone ??"), and NOTHING MORE.

As a result, I have been told by one member "that no one will miss me" at the concert, and another has accused me of scalping.

The truth is that a whole group of folk are sorry we are not coming, and secondly, the two tickets that my wife and I had, I sold to one of the members of that group for face value.

For gawds sake folks, what it is about your lives that make you some damn suspicious and nasty?

B.

Methinks you're a bit on the defensive side there, B. You're taking comments made either a) in general, or b) to Steele1161, and reacting as if they are being directed at you, which they aren't. (By quoting Steele, that usually indicates that our Cuz was responding to that post, not yours.)

Steele was wrongly accused by Cuz in Miami, just cuz Cuz doesn't know him well enough. OR he may have even been joking.

And to address your question, some may say that the economy and ticket prices make some of us damn suspicious and nasty!

TikiBar...

Are you kidding?

"I think that you are a scalper trying to create a demand because you hoarded and bought too many tickets."

I would say that is a pretty darn direct comment..."...you are a scalper..."

Well, I guess if I was a scalper, I am not very good at it.

I put 4 tickets on the ticketexchange Section 1, Row K for my cost. That is 5th row. I believe I sold them. When I see the money order, I will believe it.

Regarding my thread - I was just trying to make the comment that people I normally go with have lost interest in going (so that is why I am selling their tickets). When I offered tickets at work to people that had gone in the past. They just said no.

We are in the week after labor day, so we are in the back to work/school mentality. If the show was the week before labor day, I think most people would feel it is still party time and would come out.
