ALAN JACKSON TO PERFORM AT HISTORIC RYMAN AUDITORIUM ON MARCH 20
5TH ANNUAL “STARS GO BLUE” CONCERT TO BENEFIT COLON CANCER ALLIANCE’S BLUE NOTE FUND
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 14, 2013) Country superstar Alan Jackson will headline the 5th Annual “Stars Go Blue” benefit on Wednesday, March 20 at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. Jackson’s rare, intimate performance at this historic music venue will be hosted by the oldest and largest national colon cancer patient advocacy organization, the Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA). All proceeds from the concert will benefit the CCA’s Blue Note Fund, helping colon cancer patients in need, a program founded by Nashville’s own Grammy-nominated artist/producer Charlie Kelley. The CCA holds the “Stars Go Blue” concert annually in support of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. During March, organizations across the nation will place an emphasis on educating the public about colon cancer prevention and detection.
In 2010, Alan’s wife Denise was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. “It knocked us both down. It was so hard to watch her go through that,” he recalls. “We were dating at 16 and 17, and I pretty much took care of her from that point on. But when it came to this, I felt like there wasn’t a thing I could do.”
“That rocked my world, as I’m sure it does every person who gets a cancer diagnosis,” she explains. “That really brought to my attention the CCA and what the organization does, and more specifically what the Blue Note Fund does for the Nashville area and the rest of the country as well.”
Tickets for “Stars Go Blue” go on sale Fri., Jan. 18 at 10:00am Central and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations, Ryman Box Office, www.ryman.com and by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets are $75, $45 and $35.
Alan recently released a limited number of copies of his book Seasons of Sweetbriar – A Photographic Collection of Home by Alan Jackson. Seasons of Sweetbriar can be purchased through www.alanjackson.com for $25 or $50 for a book autographed by Alan, while supplies last. 100 percent of proceeds will be donated to the CCA’s Blue NoteFund.

I really messed up. I thought we had until midnight last night for the preferred seating. Now I am waiting for 10am CST to order through the Ryman.

I got online right at 10am CST and got Row U section 7. Not liking that as it was in the corner, I tried again, only to get REQUEST NOT AVAILABLE over and over. Then I got Balcony, far left upper. Tried to call and lines so busy, it said call back or get on automated. Yikes!

If tickets are on sale now but not on the tour page yet you maybe able to order tickets and get good seats. |

This show is sold out except for VIP tickets @ $500 pp. I have found some tickets on alternate sites but not sure if they are reputable or not.
