I asked if we could have one of their tickets if they were not going to use them. Both looked at me said something explicit, and then tore them up and threw them in the trash.

Yes there are people here that think that they can control your life, And know more than you
A "few posters" also claim to have signed autographs from "The 2 ladies in a golf cart with a clip board." Some even say they have photos of the Loch Ness monster ! Stories can be made up to accommodate all forums of FUD. Just because you read it on the internet or TOTV doesn't necessarily make it true. Sometimes The news is made to fit the print AKA B.S. YMMV!

People we know and trust say they have seen the two busybodies.

We have been to Loch Ness and we know the truth. Not allowed to say more about it.

Are the stadium style seating at Brownwood in use for people to sit or are they blocked off completely? Thanks.

I just visited TVs myself, on a Lifestyle Tour. I visited all 3 squares, and had a great time! I am from the Dallas, TX area. I was very surprised at two things....lack of masks and no social distancing in restaurants and on the square, and also the SMOKING on the patios! Yuk! I'm at the bar having a wine and appetizer, and a guy lights up, and then another guy lights a cigar! We don't allow smoking anywhere inside or on the patio. If you want to smoke, the restaurant owner has to provide a separate area for smokers, like outside the door. Then, the parade started, for two hours. It was an education to be sure! LOL! But overall I had fun.

I was there last week twice, and sat on the bleacher....no restrictions on anything.

So when you read my post that the 2 people in front of us in the box office ticket line tore up their tickets, you are either stating I made it up, and it can’t be true. So my credibility of an in person encounter with 2 people that used explicit language as to getting or using tickets, didn’t happen. I am guessing you must Not have been the couple behind us, realizing Some really do think controlling other people’s lives is their top priority. Or some are just living in their own world, and have no idea of reality

According to the ticket takers who I asked at LSL, after 6PM you do not need a ticket as long as the capacity has not been met and from the looks of it with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions it is not met. If you wait until later (after 7) it's likely you won't have an issue. If you wait until 8 (the last set) it's virtually empty. Wit the exception of The Hoooooooligans a week or so ago and Clark Barios last night it looks pretty empty. Not sure why they bother with tickets they should just do the count then cut it off when met.
Agreed, just do a head count, much simpler on everyone.

And so on and so forth. No one is obligated to show up at the earliest moment, and stay all the way to the end. And some got tickets thinking "hey I might want to go to this, but not sure, so just in case, I'll get tickets." And some will say "ohh - something free! Who cares if I go or not, it's free, so I'll get tickets."

Doesn't matter though, after 6 you can get in without a ticket anyway.
Not all the time. Thursday and Friday nite we were not allowed in after 6:00. It was packed.

Their you go:icon_wink:

It’s probably the doomsday preppers not wanting anyone to have a good time while they have a miserable life.

I noticed that all tickets get acquired within 10 minutes after the tickets become available for The Hooligans. I suspect that all the available tickets for the upcoming gig featuring the Spazmatics will also all get acquired within 10 minutes as well. The Spazmatics are basically The Hooligans dressed up and acting like nerdy guys from the 80s who play 80s music.

A friend told me Lake Sumter was packed.. maybe no one paying attention or monitoring crowds?

Here’s my thought on numbers. Say 200 (or whatever their number is) have tickets. Not all arrive at 5 pm. So at 6 they let people in without a ticket. Now others arrive with their ticket after 6 and they of course get in. So now they have more in the crowd than the original number. We saw Scooter and at first it was a comfortably spaced dance floor but way too close later. I thought having a certain amount of tickets would control that, but I guess not.
