What Live Nation did to me after that can only be described as criminal: I arrived several hours early and partied like everyone else, left around 6:20 p.m. Total cost: $190.00 I then drove more than 700 miles for what I thought would be the show of a lifetime. The ticket was $150.00 and the site also encouraged me to buy a 'Premier Parking Pass' for $30.00 to be 'assured' parking, so I did. I bought the best ticket I could get at the top price level from Ticketmaster, which is owned by Live Nation, which also owns this venue. I am a HUGE Jimmy Buffet fan and have never gotten to see him perform live, so when I heard he and Huey Lewis were sharing the bill in Chicago, I jumped at the chance.
