My mother had managed to snag a Jimmy Buffett ticket and she went on the hunt for me. He was playing in the Olympia Theatre which is a really small venue so I really didn't feel hopeful. During the day I was receiving texts from my mother about tickets she was seeing for sale for €200, €300 and upwards that she was considering buying. Both of us rang the box office to see if there was any returns but no luck there either.
So at about 6.30pm, I got on my bike in the rain and cycled in to the city to the Olympia with the intention of getting a ticket outside.
So there I landed in my pink Margaritavile shirt and found loads of Parrotheads hanging out having fun in the rain with lots of tropical clothes and accessories on view!
So while waiting for my mother to arrive, I scoped out the ticket situation. There were certainly a few available going for €150 upwards. So while having a think what my options were, I decided to call in to the box office to see if there was any returns.
Well guess what! There was a returned ticket that I promptly snapped up at cost price of just under €70!!! Let's just say I was a little bit happy!
And so after a few drinks in Brogans we went in to the venue, Mam to the circle and me to the standing area.
Well I can't begin to tell you what a great show it was with such a fun atmosphere. I felt truly blessed to hear all my Jimmy Buffett songs live. He is a superb performer and his band the Coral Reefers aren't too bad either!!
Here's a few pics of the evening:
