I am really hoping this pit thing isn't becoming a fixture at the shows..was really disappointed when I thought I had 2nd row and it turned out to be about 10th row behind tall drunk people.didn't even know that pit was offered at this show..never had a problem before with FC seats..always had great seats..Thanks to Roger,Ryan,and Joey for coming out to meet us and for the shirt and guitar pics!! Truly made my night..Great performance by AJ and The Strayhorns!! And met some great friends at the show!!

Won't be there myself..but have a GOOD TIME!!

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family BHR..

Congratulations Alan on 25 wonderful years of music!!

So sorry for your loss Dot..my thoughts and prayers are with you also..I am on FB too if anyone would like to add me..I share all my AJ and The Strayhorn pics..going to see them this Saturday at Mohegan Sun..very excited..

Sending prayers to you and your husband..God Bless..

Happy 4th of July!! Stay safe everyone!

Congratulations Alan!!

AJ at Mohegan Sun on Aug.9th..

[Ok, AJ fans, I don't think M & G is completely eliminated. If it is any indication, from the ad banner at the homepage and latest issue of the AJFC newsletter (Spring), the only thing that the fan club is not doing or offering anymore is the sign up contest, and to me it is very understandable. I had often wondered how soon before this happens. From my own observation in reading the posts in this forum, there has been fans who actually signed up for M & G even though they didn't even have ticket(s) to Alan's concert and won it, which made it really unfair to those fans who does have the tickets but lost on winning a chance to have a M & G with Alan because some other fan has won it but won't be even be at the concert to use his/her M & G pass. Also, I've seen tickets sold at eBay for such an outrageous price of up to 3 times the actual cost because it included M & G pass. A lot of fan club members have gotten placed in the disadvantage by people like these that made the signing up for what maybe a chance of a lifetime to have a M & G with Alan no longer in the best interest of the members of Alan's fan club. I think what this is all about now is returning to how it used to be at the early years of Alan's country music career and prior to the start and popularity of the use of the internet. If I remember it correctly, it used to be that the fan club president/office staff used to pick out fan club members randomly. . .without the sign up and, I believe, chosen from those who actually ordered tickets for the concerts from the fan club. . .who will have M & G with Alan. I'm all for that system as it put us all fans in the same level of playing field and luck in winning it or being chosen to win it.BHR]

Oh gosh BHR..I hope you're right..I have ordered my tickets only through the FC..and dreamed of meeting AJ..This would be a fair system..I was at  a show a couple years ago and seen the local radio station DJ taking several of their personal friends backstage to meet AJ..not true fans like ourselves..but the ones I always see in M&G photos from from the radio stations web site..I was so heart broken that as a paying FC member and true fan that I didnt get a M&G and here they were bringing friends backstage..I love hearing FC members meetings with AJ and hope we have a system like this where the people actually going to the show get a chance..

Congratulations Alan!!

Waiting anxiously for Alan's news conference!!

So sad to hear this..I have been trying so hard for a M&G for years..guess that won't happen now..One of my dreams was to shake his hand and thank him for giving us so much..and to have my picture taken with him..always waited excited and hoping to get that email to say I was chosen for a M&G..so sad to hear they stopped them..

Thanks for sharing!! A great article..
