New Date for Tampa Announced!

It has just been announced that there will be Jimmy Buffett Concert in Tampa at the Ford Amphitheater April 24th. The cost of the tickets are $96.00 each.

Jimmy's management company offers 300 tickets per venue to be purchased by Parrot Head club members. These tickets need to be divided between all the local clubs to members in good standing. In this case all 28 Florida Clubs. We are not sure how many tickets will be available for our club, and as always if we cannot fill all the requests, they will be rewarded to those who have volunteered the most. Each volunteering member is able to request tickets - 2 per membership (this means a couple or a single membership. For the single memberships, you must assure us that the extra ticket is going to another Parrot Head Club Member in good standing.) This is a national rule, not ours, and THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!

If you have been a member of the Charlotte Harbor Parrot Head Club for over a year and have performed some volunteer work, you are entitled to request 2 tickets per member for the concert. Our club is eligible to acquire tickets for the Tampa show on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Tickets are $96.00 per seat. WE NEED TO KNOW WHO WANTS TICKETS TO THE TAMPA CONCERT, REGARDLESS OF PRICE, BY TUESDAY, 12:00 p.m., NOON, FEBRUARY 16, 2010.

If you want tickets, please email Greg Vogel no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) on February 16, 2010.
