Well, another year of trying to get tickets to see Buffett at his annual DC show. And another year where I am grasping at air instead of lawn tickets...
What pisses me off is those who buy 6 lawn tickets for $36 a piece and turn around and sell them for a huge profit. I mean, the tickets went on sale at 10am, and it's 10:25 and there are already several auctions for tickets...damnit. I wanted to get drunk on coronas and strong margaritas and watch Buffett play.
Ah well. I'll just do what I do every year...have a Buffett party that night at the house, with the concert on Sirius, and coronas and strong margaritas sitting in my backyard.
Does he have a fanclub you can join?
Bands nowadays typically offer their fanclub members first shot at tickets before they go on sale to the public. I've gotten great seats that way with bands like Pearl Jam, DMB, 311, etc.

There are different Parrothead chapters across the country...just not sure if they have a deal to get blocks of tickets...
I must admit, after looking around, I'm a little shocked at the price they're getting

yeah, you can see why it sells out so quickly...scalpers buy up tickets because the loyal fans are willing to pay 100+ a ticket for a lawn seat. i try every year, and if i dont get them, i usually have a small party and play the concert on Radio Margaritaville.
As you already know, the tics are readily available, but...............$$$$$$$
Concert tics in general are OUTRAGEOUS
GOOD luck!

One time I got stuck in traffic heading to Manassas right around Nissan. I was pissed, but turns out it was a Jimmy Buffett concert. never had so much fun in traffic!

Getting Buffet tickets is all about knowing people. You gotta find yourself a hookup. I never have had problems but I always buy them through a guy. He doesn't gouge either.

I have had luck in the past and have been to three of his concerts. We had a tick master which most people did not know was there and we would be in line with only 20 to 30 people. We would buy 6 tickets each and there would be 4 to 6 of us and then sell them to our friends. we would give two tickets to a guy who owned a bar and he would close for a couple of hours and we would have a Buffett party and them board a rented bus and head out. Hw quit coming because our local amp. theater made them cut down the music so that was the end of that.
