Honkey Tonkin in Tennessee (Sept 2016)

By Allan Brown:

We parked and walked towards the ticket window when we were intercepted by a member of a motorcycle gang, but not to worry he was a mid aged soccer dad in motorcycle gear. He had two extra tickets to sell due to a no-show within their group. He offered us the largest inclusive ticket packet offered for the price of a combo. Cash was exchanged, the deal was done and the gang, apologies the “club” promised not to hurt us.

We were ushered onto a small shuttle bus by an IPad wielding yet friendly employee and off we went. The bus ride literally takes you about 100 yards across the road though the gates and then up the driveway to the front door. We made it safely without jaywalking. Elvis would have laughed at this degree of safety. Oddly the famous gate so often photographed with “Graceland” in wrought iron script, is no longer open for use and is closed. People still flowers and cards next to it.
