- Oh, The Stress! - Tuesday, January 11, 2005 I found out this morning that Buffett tickets go onsale Saturday January 22nd. Can you believe it, I'm already stressing about this! I mean, how ridiculous! I deal with 900% more stress than this every day, but for some reason I'm letting this stress me out. I think there are only 2 people who read this that can relate, and you know who you are. It's like this. There are 3 Florida shows. 1 in Jacksonville, 1 in Ft. Lauderdale and 1 in Tampa. There's also a show in South Carolina and possibly one somewhere else on the Atlantic Coast, but I can't remember where, nor is it important. Ft. Lauderdale isn't any big deal. He always plays at that venue so that's not my concern. It's Jacksonville and Tampa. Why, you ask? (Well, probalby not, but let me tell you anyway!!!) This is the first time I can remember, ever, JB playing in Jacksonville. That's where my Parrothead Club is, so finding tickets there shouldn't be too hard. The only problem is that it's on a Monday-which pretty much means we're out. Now, for the real issue; The Tampa show. First, it's at an outdoor venue this year, which means less seats, but more people will want to see him. What better way to see JB than outside, in a beach community? Second, and more importantly, the show's on a Saturday! Woo-hoo, right? Right---except everyone else on the west coast of Florida is thinking the exact thing I'm thinking. Now, for the kicker. Every show that I mentioned before has tickets going on sale on January 22nd. That means there are 5 shows going onsale the same day. EEEK! That is a TM disaster! But--I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out just as it did before Thanksgiving, with Melissa standing in line and me behind the computer. Stay tuned.

I have way too many stories to tell on trying to buy Buffett tickets: * Slept in my car from 4:30a.m. to 10a.m. Had to fight off some scalpers for tickets. * Went to Marshall Fields where the line was around the block. Went to a different MF a few miles away but drew the last # for the lottery. Didn't get tickets BUT Ticketmaster put them back on sale and through "luck" Ryan got us plenty. That is actually all I could think of right now. It is just so stressful. I've learned that if I don't get tickets the day they go on sale, I just buy them the day of the concert when they release more seats (they always do) and the view is much better. Oh, and I'm too old for the lawn. Never thought I would say that.   At 12:38 PM,  VRA said... I'll gladly take the lawn if that's all I can find---but the lawn is too young, drunk and obnoxious for me too!   Post a Comment << Home
