Just got word that Jimmy Buffett will be performing Thursday, June 7th at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Charlotte, NC. On sale date not confirmed but it looks like April 10th.

That is great news! Can't wait!

Now we just need to figure out how we can make the Brew City Trop Rock Fest work with this. Could make for a long weekend!

Moved here from Pittsburgh, looking foward to the new venue, meeting new people and enjoying the day!!!!! Phins up

Consider this your warning. PAY FOR VIP parking. The regular lots were a NIGHTMARE getting out of last year. Cars going all directions. I tried to go one way out to the main road and encounteres orange barrels and tape that had not been there before I went into the show. There was a line of cars behind me. We were all told to BACK up and go the other direction. Meanwhile cars were going everywhere....

Also - there were NO portapotties in the lot I was in. 0. Nada.

Yippee, yippee, yippee!!! Woo hoo! Let the tailgating planning begin.

AWESOME venue and show, can't wait. Hotel already booked.

So glad to get some WARM summer dates!!!

Great here too! So we'll need to meet up at Buffett! You need to meet the man in my life - his name is Jay too! Sending you a pm with my email and contact info!

I'm assuming it's pretty safe to say that a Raleigh date will be added on either side of the Charlotte date (Either Tuesday 6/5 or Saturday 6/9)? They have always come back-to-back in years past, so we can only hope, right?

It is rumored that he will be in Atlanta on Saturday, 6/9.

I assume nothing when it comes to this anymore.

Actually, I'd go the other direction and encourage people not to pay for VIP parking. We had VIP last year and they would not open the lot (except to the local ParrotHead Club) until 4:00pm. We parked at the only lot open and had a heck of a tailgate hours prior to the opening of the lot. ($25 donated to Verizon) VIP does traditionally empty a little quicker, but who's in the hurry to leave the parking lot anyway

Also, we'll be bringing our own portapotty this year. It's the only way to go (literally)

Yes, we had VIP parking and the gates did open at 4:00, but by the time the long line of cars got into the parking lot, it was after 4:30 for us. Did you park in the lot across the street from the venue?

We parked in the lot across the street farthest away from Hwy. 29. We were able to back up to the woods (with the tents behind the vehicles) and had plenty of room to spread out. We'll be in the same lot this year (we'd done VIP at the 3 previous shows)

I think we will too. Save that $25 and get into the parking lot 4 1/2 hours earlier than we did last year. Hope to see you and Elissa this year at the tailgate.
