Not that I recall.

T-minus 9 minutes to ticket time!

Also... What's the review on premier parking @ Tinley? Worth it?

Section 104 Row L

After throwing back two lawn tickets, I ended up with two in section 101, row H.
Not great seats, but they're okay.

OK...that was prob the worst time we have ever had trying to get tix...first few times "Best Available" were Lawn!!!

Finally got some in 103 Row GG...not great, but at least we are going!

The first ticket pulled up was obstructed view, but after waiting go a seat closer to center and closer to the front. after skipping last year, I am glad to be going to a concert this year!

Damn security codes.

Got my lawn seats. Can't wait!

Lawn seats are booked! Where is the pre-tailgating on Friday?

Friday will be the beach, Navy Pier, & Hubbard St w/ a little hotel pool party mixed in.

What time will Holiday Inn allow us tailgaters to start the day's fun on Saturday?

I've been comng to Jimmy Buffett concerts for over 25 years and I know how packed tight and close together the cars are when we park in the regular parking lot. We love tailgating!
This year we were thinking about purchasing the $30 Premier Parking ticket and arriving at the parking lot when they open the gates. Where is the Premier Parking located and is it as packed and crowded? I know there will be a party no matter where we park, but I was just wondering where the Premier Parking would be!
Phins up and thanks!
See you in Tinley!

If I remember right, the premium parking was the closest to the entrances to the venue, and some of it, I think, was actually on pavement as opposed to the gravel/boulders that are so notorious at Tinley. Not sure they give you much more space that the general parking though.

Good to see some familiar faces have returned to the board. We got our lawn seats this year and we've got our tailgate going into the parking lot as usual.

This year I will have Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum band playing in the parking lot along with our normal shenanigans. Also coming out this year will be Anchor Radio and they will be interviewing some of us behind the scenes at the Parrot Dice Lounge and playing some music. There's no telling when Jimmy will put the touring luggage away but I sense we are getting closer.

I'm excited to get the Beach bum band out there. God willing we will make them fit out there! I hope I can see some of those old familiar faces.

Gary, were you at HDD this year? I didn't remember seeing you.

Hi, Matt. I'm really happy you'll be at Tinley Park this year. I haven't seen you in a while, and look forward to hanging out with you again.
And Johnny Russler too. Been WAY to long since I saw him. Let me know where you're at in the lot once you're set up so I can find you.
I did have A ticket for H.D.D. and the pre party, but I got really sick the day before so I had to bow out and stay home this year.

Is it confirmed that those lots opened at noon last year?
