Jimmy Buffett is known as the creator of the 'Gulf and Western' sound. His laidback beach bum persona epitomizes the bohemian type of freedom that so many secretly desire. That explains, perhaps, why he has always organized very successful musical tours with droves of his loyal 'Parrotheads' in attendance. Buffett has said that the name 'Parrotheads' is a humorous take on the fans of the Grateful Dead, who were known as 'Deadheads.'

When Buffett adopted his beach bum persona and his 'Gulf and Western' sound, he found the niche that would put him on the charts. 'Margaritaville,' from his album 'Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,' became a tremendous hit after its release in 1977. That said, when 'License to Chill' topped the pop music charts, some of his fans thought it was a little more commercial than his earlier music.

Unlike many of your traditional performers, the man tours constantly, and that's good news for those who are interested in purchasing Jimmy Buffett tickets. Even at the ripe old age of 57, he proclaimed no desire to stop recording new music or touring the country playing concerts.

Jimmy Buffett tickets can be purchased from all the usual ticket sources, but the cheapest way to get your Buffett tickets is through the box office of the concert location. Now, that may prove to be rather difficult: as more and more ticket transactions take place over the phone or via the Internet, box offices are scaling back their hours and it can be hard to find the time to get there and physically purchase tickets, especially if it involves camping out or waiting in line. If there's a particular show you wish to see, however, try looking at online auctions for your Jimmy Buffett tickets--you might even score some truly spectacular seats!
