TICKET ALERT:
While Rascal Flatts might not be bringing their 2010 tour on Wrigley Field – as they did in 2009 – the Flatts Boys along with headliners Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry are all, at some point, “swinging by” one of Chicagoland’s more traditional country music confines this summer.
For those planning to attend every concert, as recommended, you’ll be happy to here that Live Nation, US99 and the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater are returning the 2010 Country MEGA ticket. The promotional package guarantees seats at all six country music concerts headed to the South Suburban amphitheater.
Don’t delay, the Mega Tickets general public sale begins today through Live Nation. Packages range from $150 for lawn seats all the way up to $600 for “100” level seat, per person. While that might seem like a big tank to your recession-run pocket book, if you do the math, it really is a great deal. Plus, existing Mega Ticket holders have first dibs on next year’s tickets.

Concert Alert!
Country music power duo Big & Rich has announced an additional summer tour stop at the Pheasant Run Mega Center on July 26, 2009, during their limited engagement summer tour. Big & Rich, comprised of artists John Rich and Big Kenny, turned heads in Nashville with their hit single, “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” from their debut album, Horse of a Different Color in 2004.
Today, and several hit singles later like “Comin’ to Your City” and “Lost in this Moment”, the duo has become a staple in country music. In early 2009, rumors of the band’s breakup fluttered country music radio when Rich announced the release of his first solo album since the duo’s creation. The album, Son of a Preacher Man, was explained as an opportunity for Rich to sing and produce songs a little outside of the typical Big & Rich brand. The album, due out March 24, will include Rich’s current hit single “Shuttin’ Detroit Down”. Big & Rich fans need not to worry; the duo has assured fans they are here to stay.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see Big & Rich live. Tickets for the July 26 show will go on sale to the public this Saturday, March 14, 2009, at noon, and are available at the Pheasant Run Box Office, Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com. Make it a weekend, the best seats are available with overnight packages.
