Our bus gets there too early !!! We are waiting in line around 1:30 to get into the show in the hot bus, but well worth it when we park and set up.

We have about 14 openings on the bus for those who want to ride the bus. There is a bunch of hotels/motels in Greensburg cheap for those who want to stay in Greensburg or Belle Vernon and ride the bus. It is about 35 minutes from BV to the concert.

We have extra tickets that we will be selling at cost for those who are riding the bus!

Tickets at cost-(no tickets for sale unless riding the bus)

Chartered Bus, Bus drivers tip(100.00), Parking, Catered food buffet(burgers, hot/mild sausage, etc), and all the Beer,Pop, or Water that you want for 70.00.

Pm me with any questions and i will call you back. The bus is mostly 30 and over adults with their spouses/girlfriends.

Hello there....you are new here and I really do not know you...but I am a little confused about your post above. You have tickets but ONLY if you ride the bus can you have them? Don't seem fair....

Possibly you should have worded things different.....

We have bus package that not only gets you into the concert but a ride on the bus too!

Your above post to me seems like....looky here - but can't have it unless you ride and pay for the bus too.

(yes I am an out-spoken one on here)

We did go. It was great! The 3:00 or 3:30 time they had on the tickets/posters was a little off. I think it started around 6. We went back to our hotel and had a few drinks and cabbed it back. I think maybe that we were the only people who didn't know that it really started at 6 because, eventually, they had a really good crowd there.

I'll definitely be going to another one of his shows in the future.

I have a concert ticket and a hotel room. No plane ticket yet. And I've said this before, believe me when I tell you the anticipation of meeting me is much more exciting than the actual meeting. I'm really just a quiet, dull old guy, not even close to being hot. In a crowd, most people don't even know I'm there.

Ah but once one meets you...they don't forget! Glad to hear you are going. I'm sure you'll provide some sort of entertainment?
By the way...does the H stand for handsome or horny? :-?

Karat, I joined about 11 month after you on the board, so i guess i would am "new" to you. I don't have 4000 posts to my credit, but i will try to work harder to acquire that status.

We are just a bunch of married couples who like Jimmy and Rent a charter bus to go to the show. In order to take the bus to see jimmy and keep the cost down for everybody, then we need to fill the bus. Offering tickets at cost as well as a chartered bus that includes everything to drink all day(beer, mixed drinks, pop, and water) for 31.00 is just breaking even for us "jimmy fans" . We also have an all you can eat catered buffett that goes on all day for 10.00 which is just us breaking even. There is no profit made on the trip that is why i was offerering it too PH's who live in our area. How much is your bus trip and what do you get for your money?

Ps. We have a full bus now so the point is mute

I was speaking activity level and I know many come on here just before concert time. And I do not sit on the computer all day.... All I was saying to someone dying for a ticket seems like a let down on the way it was orginially worded....not to mention it should be posted on the ticket exchange, because it sounds like a great deal (as I see it was)...please be sure to let that thread know there are no more spots.

so I was reading that you can't tailgate unless you have tickets... I've been doing to the PGP for Buffett for the past 3 years this will make 4. I have NEVER been asked to show a ticket to go in. I'm wondering how much they are actually cracking down.

I'm for sure going in to tailgate but don't have tickets yet. I'm **hoping** to get tickets when I'm there to go in but can they really monitor that? What if people have tickets at will call? Do they not get in cause they don't have a ticket to show?

I'm not sure they really do that... just wondering if anyone has had any experience??
