It's in my backyard, so I feel like I have to...but it's my least favorite show due to the ridiculous tailgating laws.
Still, I know I'd go see Jimmy play in a dry county if I the opportunity...
Barb, I'm pretty good with prognostication and I foresee you being very, very "ill" that day...but making a miraculous recovery by the next day (see "tailgating laws" above).

Nice try, but we take our work VERY seriously here, and sick days are not allowed without a note from a surgeon or undertaker
I think it's just as well having Jimmy indoors, since tailgating is nonexistent (the alcohol consumption in parking lots being quite illegal) in Ontario. That way, there will be lots of parties in various parts of the Air Canada Centre--who's renting the private rooms? who has the boxes? Come on, Maple Reefers!

I'll be there. Although I'd much rather have the show in the summer at the Molson Amphitheatre. It just seems
wrong seeing Jimmy play indoors in Toronto in November, you know? I wonder how this date came about, as opposed to the post-Labor Day show that was rumored...?
Will there be a coat check at the ACC?
By November 19 it will be really cold. And if it rains, it will be downright miserable.

Strongly considering this one....... It might be a nice thing to do before the dead of the Buffalo winter!! I have to admit though, the thought of seeing Jimmy indoors, AND in November is a little "off" but, still workable!!! Guess I will have to see what the ticket prices are like.

Lets see...
A Buffett show in my hometown. I shouldn't complain, but:
No tailgate, its cold out, no lawn, its a Thursday (gotta work that day), ACC is not a good venue, limited parking availability, rush hour traffic to get there.
I don't want to go. Does that make me a bad person?

me and mrs. cdnkeywest are "planning" on going to see the Las Vegas show in May...BUT if I cannot get tickets for that one and since I literally work up the street from the ACC this will be our "2nd choice".
I am really not a fan of the ACC (works great for Springsteen or Fleetwood Mac) but is just "not right" for a Jimmy Buffett show...and let's not get started on our antiquated liquor laws.
I may decide at "the last moment" to attend this show...I am still wondering if it will happen at this time/venue as it is not listed on Margaritaville's Tour Dates (neither is New York now).
Now if he plays at the Molson Amphitheatre (I would love to see the change) just after Labour Day...count us definitely in!!

Yikes! Where'd it go? There's nothing listed after October now. I was just about to compliment Jimmy for (finally) releasing all the tour dates all at one time... and now this happens!
Early September in Toronto is sooooo much nicer than mid-October!

YIKES! You're right: it has disappeared!
(Maybe we can still hope for September at Molson then?)

I hope he'll still play in T.O. I just got our ticks for Mansfield today though. I so wish he'd come out to Eastern Canada - Moncton or Halifax...
Oh well, even if it's November and it's inside it's still nice to see him play in my own country.
