The La Quinta Tampa East seems to where the tailgating is going to start. Booked our room there also.

Can I get lessons in how to book on livenation? Will there be a pre sale? How can I get the best tickets when I know no one. What other hotel options do you suggest?

The only trick I've learned is that you get a better seat when you buy singles - of course you can rarely sit with the people you came with - I don't think there is generally a pre-sale, I think we had one years ago for the Gillette show in New England but it's not like some artists who give their fans first crack unfortunately. There are other hotels but the LaQuinta is directly across the street, you can go back and use your own clean bathroom without waiting in line and change for the concert if you want to. I've never enjoyed a venue more because of that.

Good luck on Saturday!

I'm physically unable to do that, it makes me too nervous - even though good seats are usually still available right up to the concert and I've upgraded at the box office the day OF the concert.

We, that being cowboy in the jungle, have spoken with our daughter who lives in Palm beach, she wants to go to Tampa and WPB both!

So I was suppose to leave Orlando on April 4th, if I can good tickets, I plan to stay at my my little brother's house in Clearwater for 11 days till the Tampa show, then if possible, we will try for WPB, but I can't stay away that long....or could I?

Thanks for the tips on the tickets! All the help is really appreciated. I had no problems getting tickets for Paris the last two years. Duncan, help me out :wench: I would love to upgrade and plan to bring a credit card with a big open to buy! So good luck to everyone and I hope everyone gets the seats they want.

I think all of New England is on spring break then. The only way it worked for me is to stay Tues to Tues. I probably shouldn't but WTH. It's the main reason I didn't go last year - airfare was crazy. I had no spring vacation last year and really missed it so this will be it.

I thought to myself, umm, I perhaps would like to drink and I don't want to drive, we are the La Quinta too! Now for tickets.

Good luck everyone, lets get the seats we want. I don't even plan on sitting but location is everything.

Jimmy in Tampa and Paris I love this year. :D
