Question
I was wondering how to get backstage tickets to a jimmy buffett concert in wisconsin. I wanted it to be a surprise for a friend birthday.  THANKS!

Answer
Kim,
The best way to get backstage passes is to check local radio stations for giveaways or check local bars that serve CORONA/Magaritaville Tequila.  But be aware that most passes are pre-show only and YOU DO NOT GET ANY WHERE NEAR JIMMY.  There are about 5 levels of backstage access.

If you know your local CORONA rep and are a beer distributor--you may get lucky and get to do a handshake with Jimmy but only 10 people per venue can get this privilege.

I'm not sure if the tour stops in Wisconsin.  You can check www.cobo.org for the latest tour info.

Good Luck,
Nancy NM
