I said the Forum is several miles south of Bruce B. Downs IN downtown.

So I am slightly stressed, someone please tell me this will work out ok. Our flights get into Tampa at 2:15 on Wed, the 11th. We will grab our rental and drive to WPB. If the show is at 7:30 will we be ok? They won't give our tix away will they? I know I will have to miss the tailgate :(

I don't really know the Florida area, but from my personal experience it's always been tight flying in the same day of the show. I've been delayed for so many reasons including weather, mechanical problems, airline incompetence (13 hrs to get from Montreal to NYC!!).

I'm sure you won't miss PJ as they'll go on around 9-9:30 and I've picked up 10C tickets minutes before the show began, so your tickets will be safe.

I totally agree with you. The only day our airline flies is Weds and Saturdays (Allegiant). We have had great luck with them in the past..flew with them many times to Disney. The only problem is the limited days and times. I am just going to have to cross my fingers and hope. I also really don't want to miss KOL, my husband is a huge KOL fan too. A main reason for us to make the trip is to see KOL and PJ together again. Thanks for making me feel better....I just really didn't want to think they may just pass out our tickets.

One more question, is there a chance for WPB that we are on the lawn with our 10c seats? My number isn't the best, (205,xxx) I still kick myself for not signing up when I was 15

You should be fine as long as your flight isn't delayed.

The Tampa airport is very easy to get in and out of and the rental cars are just across from the arrival level.

If you hit the road by 2:45 the traffic won't be bad and you should make it to WPB in time.

Good luck!

cool thanks, we plan on staying somewhere in the miami beach area and renting a car for the drive up and back, any other advise about driving will help? Any traffic to be aware of leaving Miami??

The traffic leaving Miami should be fine.."IF" you plan on tailgating and get there super early like some of us...If you go at around 4pm or later expect traffic..
