George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

[0u812]

Got the tickets off facebook marketplace for cheap. He sold me great seats at the last minute for less than face value....even included VIP parking, which at the venue was a really nice perk.
Drove my Caprice PPV to the show (6.0 liter ls v8, cammed even).
Picked up my friends and had a light dinner at the Bella Union. Good food but not expensive.

Enjoyed Buddy Guy for less than a ****** ticket to the country music fest at Jack Trice.

Oh, and Buddy Guy was fantastic. He is old, but still has it, and probably will until he draws his last breath. His band is an all star group, carrying on in the old blues tradition of paying dues.

They are saying 70k for tickets.

Jamie is making millions on this one then.

But then I'd have to go to the fair, no deal.

I was disappointed there was no state fair pro and con thread this yr.

Yikes. I just went to price tickets, and it's basically $300 PLUS the extra charges for the cheap seats! I had considered buying a bunch and taking my whole family. Guess not.

I like George Strait but I wouldn't pay more than $100 to see him. Not sure if I'd pay $300 to see anyone. You could got to Vegas for a weekend for what tickets, drinks, and food at the show will cost. That's a Chiefs playoff ticket! First things first.

Yeah, initially I was thinking of taking the wife, kids, and even my parents (they are ISU grads too) but $2k just for tickets seems a little (lot) excessive.

Got a parking pass for $25 which is reasonable - not so reasonable were the $12 in Ticketmaster fees on that $25 purchase.. outrageous.

Anyone know of any cost effective ways to get from DSM to Ames and/or Ames to DSM for an event like this (for those who would rather not drive)? My group will have a DD, but some friends are less confident in their group having someone able to drive em home, so looking for options.

Haven't read hardly any of this thread, so sorry if already mentioned, but they had better not ruin the beautiful grass at Jack Trice.

With the amount of field/floor tickets still available, the grass should be fine...

For those unaware, Ames Lager 16oz cans will be making its debut for the concert. Drink up!!!

Bought tickets for this right when they came out. Found out a few weeks later the wife was pregnant with a due date of June 4th. My wife is set on going.

Has anyone ever given birth inside Jack trice? Anyone from DSM need a DD?

How is the rest of this tour selling? Looks like George is not packing the Jack.
