Hi, all....... I may have an extra ticket for AJ show at Chastain tonight.

Row 4 in the Pit.  Can't beat it!

If interested, please email me directly:  [email protected]

THANKS!!

Beth

BHR, et al.....

Agreed.  Ticket purchasing was, by a long shot, not the easiest of processes.  I had an issue with my password, too (too many passwords, IMO......they should all talk to each other and be centralized, particularly for the FC members...not that hard to do!).....so I registered thru Facebook and went in that way.  I guess I just knew to do the Fast Pick vs picking seats because of a previous experience, so I went that route right off the bat and got lucky... Pit Left, Row 4, seats 1-4.  But for the record, I'm not sure there were many seats available any closer..... it looked like they were already "unavailable" before the pre-sale ever happened.  I'm not complaining, though. (at least not too  much)......

My overall rant has to do with how complicated it's become to purchase tickets online, period.... Live Nation, Ticketmaster, a handful of smaller sites here and there.  Makes you wonder who's really in control of the whole process......

I'll shut up and go away, though, if I manage to win one of those M&G's....  :-)

OK, so who's gonna be there?

Hot Damn!!  Preferred seating on sale in the AM!!  Jonesin' for some Alan!!

BHR (and other Atlanta AJ Fans)...

Actually got onto the Chastain on-sale yesterday, and decided to pass on the tickets in the hopes the AJFC will have true up-close seats reserved for us when they go on sale..... the Live Nation/Chastain site did not allow you to pick seats.....rather, you coughed up $100 for a ticket (after "convenience fees", etc) and had NO IDEA where they were located, other than in the "orchestra."  That didn't do it for me.  Not sure if anyone else had same concern?

Anyway, parking at Chastain is HORRIBLE, BHR.  No way around it.

C'mon, AJFC!!

[BM, go to the TOUR page and click on MORE at the right hand side of where the Chastain concert is listed. All pertinent informations will appear in a dialogue box. The VIP tickets pre-sale is not specifically mentioned but I'm making an educated guess that it will be on the same days as the regural Preferred Seating tickets pre-sale.BHR]

Perfect.  It's gonna be tough to struggle through 10 days of "series" tickets on sale, in order to wait for the individual shows, but I've done worse! 

Thanks so much for the help, BHR.  Looking forward to my chance to win a M&G this time!  Beth

So there, although I echo many people's comments about how awful it has become to see shows at Chastain.  At least there are no tables for AJ's show, so we *may* stand a chance at getting close to the stage??

Anyone know anything about VIP pre-sale for the ATL?

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS, ALAN, FROM ALPHARETTA, GA!  THANKS FOR THE "GOOD TIME" YOU'VE GIVEN US ALL!

I also love Clay Walker, he was great too.

Agreed!  As not-really-a-country-music-fan, I had never heard of Clay Walker, but you're absolutely right.  And a PERFECT opening act for Alan.  He was really having fun, and the streamers, confetti canons, and beach balls got everyone fired up, for sure. 

What a fantastic night in GA..... Alan headlined the local country station's "Country Fair" last night, along with host Kix Brooks (who thrilled us all with an unplanned acoustic song or two), Jana Cramer, and Clay Walker.  it was a perfect, transitioning-to-fall night, and when Alan hit the stage around 9:15pm, the crowd was more than ready.  We had seats in the "Fan Pit" on the 2nd row, but someone from Alan's group came out before the show and told us to "move against the stage" when Alan began performing....no problem!  Although I can't remember the exact set list, I noted that (a) it was packed with The Hits, and (b) it was different than when I saw Alan perform last Spring.  He opened with "Gone Country".....and the best thing about this tune was the great reception he received, and the fact that he walked over to us and handed my 10 year old daughter (who was on my shoulders) a pick and a big "hi there, honey!" She was thrilled.  After about 3 songs, Alan and the band took to stools and moved a little quickly through a series of (unfortunately) abbreviated hits.....but it was pretty clear, as he took the time to talk with the crowd, that he wanted to give us all as much as he could. Nearly 90 minutes later, during an encore of "Dixie Highway," my 12 year old son got his encounter.....Alan reached over and took my son's hat off his head, signed it, and handed it back with a big smile.  All in all, a magical night...a few drunks here and there, but it only added to the atmosphere!  :-)  I've only been a fan for a short time (thanks to my son), but strong, reliable, hit-packed performances like the one last night.......and what I can only describe as a true sense that AJ is the real deal.......is keeping me hooked. 

Hi, everyone!  Getting closer to my 2nd AJ show at Verizon in Atlanta, less than two weeks away. Everything crossed for a M&G, but tix in the pit are going to be just fine.  Anyone who's seen Alan lately......insight into his play list?  I haven't been around AJ for long, but everything I see looks like he always plays a bunch of his best stuff, not too much from the current CD....right or wrong? 

Anyone else going??!!

Hi, everyone.....just wondering....anyone got an up-to-date setlist of Alan's current tour?  Found one online from Setlist.fm, but not very recent -- it only contains one song from "Thirty Miles". 

Want to get all geared up for show in Atlanta on 10-6!  Got my fan pit tix.....now if I can only win that M&G.....

Cheers!

CONGRATS!!  AJ is a real charmer!!

Hey, all!  Thanks for the friendly greetings and glad to be here!  Dot, I saw a "disclaimer" on the ticket ordering page that noted the pit tix were general admission.......and you know, I am totally cool with that, too.  I agree that standing during the show is pretty much par for the course.  Were you able to get any fan club seats at all?   On a sidebar to the Atlanta discussion, also noticed the "show" started at 5:30pm..which would seem to mean many more acts to be added to the bill or at least some sort of other stuff going on in the background.  Either way, a beautiful Saturday in October and AJ show Number Two for my household....doesn't suck!  Hope to meet some of you there.

Thanks for the reply, BHR!  Yes, bought these pit seats thru the fanclub pre-sale.....at 1am EST on Friday night!  I understand the "no rows and seats given out" rule, but I am pretty sure these are General Admission......nonetheless, fun!  I actually got to the M&G in Columbus through my brother, who runs WQDR, the killer country station in Raleigh, NC.  But yes, already signed up for front row and M&G for the October show.  Can't frickin' wait!
