Jimmy Buffett Presale

Start: Tue, 02/12/13 10:00 AM CST
End: Thu, 02/14/13 10:00 PM CST

Thanks WLM!

Sometimes you wonder if the presales are really better seats?
When we do PH club tickets, they never seem to be that great.

Does anyone know how many seats together we will be able to buy on presale? I think last time (in Frisco) it was like 6 or 8, not sure. It's an issue not being able to buy tickets together for the whole group on presale...that was one thing nice about Gexa last year, we all sat together on the lawn.

Motorized vehicles include golf carts, ATV’s, Utility vehicles, motorized ice chests, scooters, motorcycles, four-wheelers, 3-wheelers, etc. Any persons driving these above vehicles on property will be subject to removal from FC Dallas Stadium property.

Well that leaves me out

They would have to let you have a motorized thingy like you had in Vegas. Just show the handicapp tag!!

In for my third trip to Dallas...was at the original Hoot Island and maybe the original in Frisco too...I just know I went once before.

Glad the date turned out to be correct since I already booked a flight. Sister lives in Fort Worth so I guess it wouldn't have been a total waste

Probably, but our first Frisco (2008) was a last-minute decision and we got decent seats on the floor, roughly in the middle of section J. Later years I've logged in right at 10am when presales open and have gotten floor tickets in the closer rows. I think our best was right around row 22 in the B section.

We're there. Planning committee volunteers? Parking lot is our first order of business. We can't do the grilling/dunking/hot tub/tiki bar/silent auction without a unified space. Anybody???
Alternately, we can scale it down and still reserve the lot. Seems they just wanted prepayment to reserve. Still no in and out? I can't seem to find rules.
Pedicab companies will probably be all over this since golf carts aren't allowed. I can see my wife dreaming up some bike thing now. Phins up for phun in frisco

Ie another question for you tailgating veterans at Frisco. Our group is driving down on Thursday night and staying at a hotel for three nights. If we want to enjoy the tailgating Friday but cannot purchase a one-day parking pass, can we cab it to FC Stadium and just enjoy the tailgating scene? I know if we purchase an overnight pass, we cannot go in-and-out. We would want to go back to hotel Friday night and return Saturday. I will definitely have a parking pass for Saturday.

We would be happy to pay in advance for parking and have a reserved lot--as in years past. I agree that without a reserved area, there is no way for us to have an organized "feeding frenzy". I live out of state, so I can't be of much help when it comes to reserving parking lots and things. We got around the no in and out by taking a cab to dinner on Friday night.

Sure you can get a cab. But then how far out are you...5 miles or 50?

I have some decisions to make. Austin May 2 or Frisco May 4 or both.
