[Sep 23 2012] Nashville, TN- Bridgestone Arena

[countryfan2006]

I think people need to get other themselves because woohoo Carrie's allow to voice her opinion about that whole gay thing so people get over it

Nashville Becca can't stop griping about a 5 dollar fee, that Bridgestone charged!!

What did bridgestone charge the $5 for?

I got it. $5 to pickup the tix at will call.

I left the gift at guest services so she'll probably never get it. D:

I don't listen to Hunter Hayes but I think the sound system is lacking.

He was presented with a #1 record!

What did bridgestone charge the $5 for?

She left her tickets at will call and they charged her $5

What did bridgestone charge the $5 for?

To pick up her ticket at will call. I tweeted her back, saying I'd give a lot more than that, just to be there!

Sorry Nanny, you'll get an M&G one day.

If you're there for a couple of days, you should drop it off at the Opry for her. It would be awhile before she gets it but I think she would eventually get it.

Who does this lol? I wouldn't call having two opening acts "stacking" their tours . I appreciate the sentiment of your post, but I'm just lost on which big names you feel have to bring others on board to get the crowds.

the biggest is Kenny Chesney who gets credit for selling out stadiums but he'll have sugarland, lady a, miranda lambert and montgomery gentry with him. in other words, cma fest.

Check out this crowd for the @hunterhayes & @carrieunderwood show! Photo - Beth Mason Laird | Lockerz

Ok this shows a crowd shot. They did black out the 300 levels for one center section, but 300 levels are open for the sides, and the rest seems sold out completely. Awesome!

That has to be 10,000 as she did almost 9,000 last time with no 300 levels.

Looks like a great crowd!! Some guy wants to start a Preds song, or chant!

^^ If you look at the tour stats - most headlining acts have 3 and 4 sometimes 5 openers

I looked at the recent tour stats for country's biggest names (because those are the ones who are stacking their tours according to the earlier post). Here are the stats:

- Miranda - had two openers for her recent tour - One opener was more well-known, the other not so much
- Taylor - on the Speak Now tour she had one opener most of the time, occasionally two - most of them weren't all that well-known - one of her opening acts was Hunter Hayes lol
- Blake - had one opener for some dates (Justin Moore) and had two for others (one of which was Dia Frampton, his last contestant standing from season one of The Voice).
- Kenny & Tim - co-headlined with Jake Owen and Grace Potter as openers
- Jason - on last tour - two openers - Lauren Alaina & Luke Bryan
- Brad - on recent tour - two openers for most shows (Scotty McCreery & The Band Perry) - the only time he had more than two was for the Wrigley Field show
- Sugarland - for recent tour - two openers at most shows - Lauren Alaina & Canaan Smith

Please let me know where I've missed those that have had 3, 4, or 5 opening acts .

Sorry to go off-topic. Carrie should have a great show in Nashville tonight. I hope we gets tons of video.
