The Atlanta Braves will have a “Parrothead Day” on Saturday, August 26th for their game against the Washington Nationals:

Channel your inner Jimmy Buffett and take a detour with the Braves through Margaritaville for Parrothead Day. Sons of Sailors, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, blend musicianship with a true saltwater attitude to become the premier Buffett band in the area, and they will be featured playing live in Fan Plaza prior to the game. Meanwhile, a “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” sing-off and a Name That Buffett Tune contest will take place nearby, and related food & drink specials will be available throughout the ballpark.

Many minor league teams have Jimmy Buffett Nights, but it’s rare for a major league team to do so.

Jimmy Buffett continues to be one of the hottest tickets in all of music. Ticket marketplace StubHub has “put together a list of America’s 20 Most Rockin’ Cities. Shows in these cities have been the most active sellers on StubHub this summer with rankings based on total sales for concert events only, occurring between May 15th and September 15th.”

Additionally, StubHub has included the most popular show for each city that made the Top 20. New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago finished one, two and three respectively, and Madonna’s Confessions Tour was the top grossing act in each city. Interestingly, Madonna and Jimmy Buffett combined as the favorite shows for more than half of the cities in the top 20.

“Fan loyalty is a true indicator of quality performers. This summer has been filled with great concert tours and fans are showing their support in large numbers,” said Jeff Fluhr, founder and CEO. “Madonna is always a huge draw when she tours but the realization that Jimmy Buffett continues to pack ’em in across the country is eye-opening and a testament to his legions of fans.”

StubHub also notes that “Jimmy Buffett’s 20-stop tour has the highest per date average, based on total sales. Nationwide, the average price for a ticket has been $130.”
