CASINO RAMA CONCERTS - Sept 24th & 25th were magnificent

[AnitaMartina]

I attended both the shows at Casino Rama - September 24th and 25th.  I got my tickets through Preferred Seating and got front row seats for both.  Also, I won the MEET & GREET for the show on the 24th.  Both concerts were superb.  When I went for the MEET & GREET, I had butterflies until they took us backstage to meet him.  While we were waiting for him, I was talking to a few people and then I was fine.  Of course, you did not have alot of time with him, but I got the chance to say a few things I wanted to. Just to be beside him and hold him is a dream come true.  Too bad the fan club members didn't get a little longer time with him just to be able to chat with him for awhile.  Thanks JERI for all your advise about being calm and enjoy every minute because that is what I did.  The time went very quickly. 

Through the concerts, because I had front row seats and they were allowing people to stand right up by the stage, I went up too.  I paid enough to have the good seats, I wanted to see it.  My friend who came with me for the 24th concert and my husband   who came with me for the 25th concert stayed sitting and they said alot of people in the front rows who didn't get up were complaining that they were having a hard time seeing him.  My husband said, because I am not very tall,  that I would of not been able to see him that well.  People were coming down from seats that paid alot less than us.  It really isn't fair.  I knew that they allowed this at the Casino, so as soon as I saw the videos starting to play I went up. I wasn't going to pay for my tickets and not be able to see.  I am glad I did because I got some really good pictures.  He is my #1 Country Star and he always will be.  Enjoy the links of the pictures I took at the concerts.  Also I have a partial video when he was singing "Livin' on Love".  The security guards came around and made me turn it off.  That's was alright.  At least they let you take pictures.

Hey Anita,  your photo links worked fine for me 'cause I stay logged in at fb.  the video link didn't though.  i think it's cause we aren't "friends" though. not sure.   thanks for posting.
Becky

Thanks Becky.  Someone I sent an email too, also told me that.  I do not know what I can do to change that.  Someone on here who went to the Windsor concert has links from facebook and two are videos.  I can see them and I am not friends.  I will have to look into this.

Hi Anita Martina,

I had my meet and great on the 25th. OMG is he HANDSOME or what!  Do you know when our pictures will be available to download.  I trust tried and no luck.  Probably takes a few days.  Let me know.  Glad you had a good time.  It was great just wish it were a bit longer.  Still love him....YEE-HAW!

[AJTexasfan]

ajthecatsmom, try to look for your picture sometime Monday after everyone gets back to Nashville and has time to upload them.  Glad you enjoyed your M&G!!  You need to give us some more details!!!!!

[AnitaMartina]

Ajthecatsmom, 

I looked too and did not see them.  I think we are going to have to wait until early of next week before we see it.  He sure is handsome.  It did go quite fast.  Even the concert seemed to go fast.  Did you sit near the front?  I was in the front row last night, but I went up to the stage because I knew if I stayed at my seat I would of not been able to see very well with all those people in front.  My husband stayed at our seats, so I did not see him through the whole concert.  But he knows how much I enjoy Alan's concert, so it did not bother him that I went up.  Anita

Hi again Anita,
I was in the 7th row.  That was the best I could get even with faxing at 12:01 Nashville time.  How were you able to get front row...... Good for you to go up by the stage....no point in having front row tickets and see the back of the crowd......by the way thanks for sharing the pictures they are much better than mine......couldn't get the video though.....I am still on cloud nine.....I was the first in my group to go in the tent and waited for him to come in and then I was like  OMG it's really him............and he looked sooo good!!!!  I am still in awe!!!!!  Somebody said wait until Monday when they get back to Nashville and we will probably get our pictures downloaded then!!!!  Thanks again Anita

Wow, I must of been lucky.  I faxed mine within the first minute, Nashville time too. There must of been alot of requests.  I am still in cloud nine, too.  I was waiting impatiently for the days towards the concerts, Now it is all over.  He does look sooo good!!  I was the last person in our group to go in.  Then we had alot of VIP people after us.  We will have to cherish this moment for the rest of our lives.  A lady in our group won tickets from the Orillia radio station.  This was her second time to Meet & Greet Alan.  Now how lucky is that.

Thanks for the great review and pictures............I'm so excited to see him in concert next Sunday night....That's seven days away!!!!!!
Smart to get up front if they are allowing others to come up front.  Some venues only let the first row stand at the stage.  I'd have done the same....Went right to the stage!
