No mention of either pricing or the actual ticket vendor in the ad. I assumed it will be Live Nation as it was last year.

HOWEVER! Did everyone notice the tour is sponsored by Landshark AND Margaritaville Premium Rum!?
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

And last year's concerts were available thru ticketmaster and livenation, with a presale. We'll have to see what disasters await us this year.

I think Toyota Park is Ticketmaster and Alpine is Live Nation. When it comes down to it, they both s***, but I was actually able to get thru at 8pm saturday night for the NC shows. Idon't if it's the economy or what, but a Buffett show never goes that long without being sold out.

I was pulling up great seats for NC at 5pm yesterday. It makes me wish I had more fun money for airfare. I know some damn fine parrotheads in NC.

That was my first thought as well. Weren't rooms around 100$ last year? The cheapest I found was the Holiday Inn at 153$ a night (thats only if you pay now) plus 16.6% tax and 10$ a day parking.

I stayed at a Hilton downtown last year for $100 thru priceline. Train out to midway and then shuttle to concert. You do need a expendable cooler.
Waitress I need two more boat drinks!

You may want to check these out, in Tinley Park...
Virtually next door to where he used to play...Tweeter/World/First Midwest.
They're straight down Harlem Av. About 15 miles, probably a 20-25 minute drive, but a very nice area.

last year, a bunch of us booked into the Hampton before they realized what was going on-rates then jumped about $70 a night.

For those staying downtown, especially the second weekend-just know that it will be very heavy traffic downtown because of the air and water show.

Can you tailgate on site at the venue ? We usually go to the Cincy show but thinking about trying something new this year.
