[ajakansasfan, thanks for explaining it. Just to be clear, and as I mentioned on my post, I have not been to any of Alan's concerts in a very long while so I'm unknowledgeable of what you had pointed out. What I had posted about the AJ Good Time Bar was based on the information on what the VIP tickets' benefits entails given at the tickets information page on this site and nothing was said there about it being at the venue itself. It's easy to take for granted that everyone knew about it already or others may have missed reading the notation on the ticket, but, it's always good to be informed. Thanks again. It's been very much appreciated. BHR]

After seeing Alan last year with great presale ticket seats, but having to stand the entire time because of the PIT......I decided to get tickets by the side of the stage (green section).  Looks like you can select green section but it doesn’t tell you where you’ll be. The green section is a large area that goes around the entire venu. So, I still have not purchased tickets. I hate to miss it since it’s my home town but don’t want to be clear in the upper back. Maybe because the NRA is sponsoring this concert, it’s being handled differently. Any ideas?

[A local magazine at Alan's hometown of Newnan, GA featured his new downtown mural. It's a nice write up with a bit more of information about the creation of it.

The mural feature page is 34-35.....page numbers appears at the lower left hand corner. To move the page while reading, move your pointer/cursor on your computer screen.

Hi Jeri,

That will be so nice for you to go see Alan in Jacksonville.  I hope your husband will be well enough to go with you.  Hope all is well with you.  I am not on here as much as I used to be.  But I do miss the conversations we all had on here a few years back.  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc are all taking over.  I do talk to some on facebook that used to be on here too.   I kept more up to date on here with everything then I do on FB.  I just retired last month from work and I still find it hard to get on here and  on any social network and keep up to date with everything.  I just have so many other things to do.  But it is nice that I do see a few AJ fans on here that I recognize.  Well keep well, and hope to keep in touch once in awhile.

he does not do meet greets anymore

Thanks For the Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to Jax with Alan... Hope my hubby can stay well to go. I want to take my other Grand Daughter, I have taken her Sister to see Alan perform. Wish me God's speed on seeing Alan!!

Take care to all, Jeri( Hometown MS) I Pray Mattie is ok and Families too. God Bless Them All

[bradbutner, I don't response to forum messages as often as I used to. The subject of yours, however, made me feel compelled to do so. I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. It doesn't seemed that long ago when my family and I paid $33 per ticket (service fee/sales tax included) to Alan's concert. That was in '96, the very first concert of Alan we attended. Not exactly the best seats in the house, but, we still had lots of fun and thought the concert was well worth the money we spent to be in attendance (the last time we were at Alan's concert was in 2011....can't afford the ticket prices anymore). Not long after that, I remember reading about an interview Alan did where he expressed how he was feeling concerned about the ticket prices in his shows because he knows that it's their hard earned money that his fans are using to pay for their tickets.....or something to that effect. While I believe that Alan still feels the same way, I think, though, perhaps a big part of what's driving concert tickets prices, in general, go so high is the very willingness of fans/people to shell out their money for an opportunity to see their favorite artist(s) perform in person (I've heard of some people actually and intentionally going in debt to do so). I am not whatsoever advocating boycott nor am I condoning it. But, I think, however, it's time for the fans of pertinent music genre to start speaking up and let their voices be heard about these ridiculously high ticket prices. No offense to anyone I may offend, but, there's also one thing that have been bugging me about the VIP tickets perks for Alan's concerts....or make that two. One, I've been seeing messages at this forum here from time to time from fans who has bought them either thinking the perks included a Meet and Greet with Alan or wondering if and hoping it is only to be disappointed that it's not. In my opinion, and with total understanding of high risks of danger for the artists' lives in this day and age, for the price they paid for their tickets, however, it should. The other thing is the inclusion of something free (?) from Alan's Good Time bar in Nashville. I can see this as a plus if you live in or near Nashville. But how about if you're from another state or country even? What good would that do you? Unless, of course, you're willing to spend more money to travel there to enjoy your freebie. I'm not sure that this has been well thought of. Or, there should at least be an alternative for those of us who are not able to afford to travel to Nashville. Thank you for your post and for somehow bringing awareness to this concert ticket pricing issue. My apologies for my long winded response. BHR]

BHR     the good time bar in those vip tickets  is  a bar like they set up when you buy those vip ticket    its in the area  when you go for those tickets  they tell you where to go   read the bottom of those vip tickets  says venue  and liquor  laws well apply

I agree the price of tickets is nearly impossible for some of us.  I cannot afford tickets but my daughter bought tickets for his September 2018 show that was cancelled.  This was my mother's day, birthday and Christmas give for 2018.  Sadly, the concert had to be cancelled.  I am glad that Alan did cancel.

 In April, when Alan comes to Omaha, it will be a year that we have been holding on to our tickets.  As a big fan I was hoping that there was a meet and great or something special for those of us who are in the fan club. 

he has rescheduled those dates that was canceled last year  if you kept those tickets they are still good  when it  resheduled

Saw the VIP package that states you can watch
Show from barstool by soundstage, does anyone know where this is located?

[I don't know if any of you have seen this new magazine. George Strait is on the cover and features Alan with a full page photo shot and a background story of his career that made him a legend in country music at the opposite page (pages 54-55). He is also mentioned in the magazine's "The Greatest CMA Moments of All Time" section on his premier performance of "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) in 2001 just weeks after the terrorists attack in NY. Photo taken of and from that performance disappointingly was not amongst the photos included with the article, however. And on the last section of the magazine, "Grand Ole Opry", where they featured country music legends who has preformed at the GOO over the years, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Vince Gill and newcomer, Thomas Rhett were amongst those who not only were mentioned but also were pictured. Not Alan, though and I think it's not only a shame but a bit disrespectful. They have a photo of a group of artists who where there during the event celebrating GOO's 75th birthday in 2000, but, I don't and can't see Alan in it. I'm almost tempted to write a complaint to the editor/publisher of the magazine.I just thought I'll make you all aware of this publication, in case you'll be interested in reading it. I saw and bought it at a Kroger's grocery store. I've been trying to find a photo of the cover online but somehow couldn't. I'll try and post it here soon as I've found one.BHR]
