This show is on my birthday - I've already paid for the tickets!!! yay!

I guess its a save bet to assume that lots of drinking will take place that day!

Oh yes....I wonder if that is a good time to finally open my Tortuga Banana Rum from the caribbean? hmm

If you do so, do it in the morning. By the time noon rolls around, move on to cheap liquor as you'll likely be too drunk to taste anything!

Anyone see those prices for may on ticketmaster? As high as $211.00 for regular sell, wow! I paid that last year for secind hand tickets with a big markup. So with fees and tax itll be almost $450 for a pair of flr tickets. Anyones thoughts??

Thats been the prices in Vegas for 4 or 5 years.....if we weren't in a recession, they'd probably be $275 by now.

Same price as last year. You are paying Las Vegas prices. The question is how badly do you want to be on the floor and what you make of it and are willing to spend?

[sailaway82]

Last year we had pretty good seats and paid $110 each after fees and taxes.

[DesertSharkNM]

Hmm thought last year was lower than 200$$, guess i was mistaken. Ohwell least im gettin a good deal on the rm. lol see yall there

[cdnkeywest]

me and Mrs. cdnkeywest will be there (coming in from Toronto, Canada) if I can get tickets on Monday (my first crack at Live Nation - already signed up for an account). Hopefully have no problems!

Would be Mrs. c's first show in Vegas (second overall) and my 3rd show in Vegas (last since May 2002)! We figured this would cover her ahemmm39th birthday, my 45th and our 5th wedding anniversary all happening "around that May time-frame"

If I get tickets on Monday, flights and hotel will be booked right after that!

rolling the dice and I want to roll...Jimmy Buffett tickets!

Here is what I do know. I'm paying $110 for vegas tix and $136 for Phoenix tix without TM fees. Why are the Phx tix more expensive for basically the same seating? I have no idea!

Vegas tix will be much cheaper if you wait til day of show and buy them on the street! (Trust me...I've been doing this for years)

FYI...for those who might be debating whether to make this show or not, I received confirmation from the LVPHC today that there will be a pre-party on Friday night! Hope to see a lot of BNers there!

[The Five O'clock Parrott]

We are going to try to get tickets. This is my 50th bday weekend so this would be real cool.

Well, it looks like I've planned my time in Las Vegas just right. I'm glad I will be flying in on May 14 so I will have jet lag time before the Friday night bash. Thanks for the information.

[Glorfindel7]

Man, you are REALLY making it hard for me to turn this one down!!!!!!

(But this would definitely be a weekend thing if I decided to go )

BTW this "pre-party" is not intended to be LMS is it?

The best way to get rooms in Vegas is with a players card. When you gamble always use the players club card. We are not big gamblers but are still offered discounted room deals. Staying at the Mirage this time for $45.00 weekday nights and 75.00 weekend nights. The hotels are more likely to give suite upgrades to player club members. If you are a serous gambler you'll probably get the rooms comped.

This was the toughest ticket for LV I had to deal with (11 shows in all).

Section U2, at 11:01. Best available.
One of the problems with LV is they hold tons of ood tix back for comps and such.

Hope everyone got tix. Call Hooters today, their rooms just went onto the Parrothead special. Tell them you are a Parrothead and you will get a deal.

See you all there!

[goodtime_mo]

I went for the best available in the cheap seats, like I always do, and got Section 203L with no problems.
Rooms at MGM appear to have dropped in price since last week as well...
Hope everyone had the same luck!!!
See you in May!!!
