A Country Bonanza
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s a big deal for country fans.
Kicks 101.5, Eagle 106.7 and Lakewood Amphitheatre have teamed up to offer four different packages to five different concerts from May through October. (And yes, the former Lakewood Amphitheatre is once again Lakewood Amphitheatre after spending most of this decade as HiFi Buys Amphitheatre.)
Each package offers tickets to the Kicks Country Fair with Dierks Bentley (above), Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan on May 16, Tim McGraw with Jason Aldean on June 11, Rascal Flatts on Aug. 15, Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry on Sept. 11 and Brad Paisley on Oct. 4.
The packages come in at four levels: platinum, gold, silver and the non-metallic and largely self-explanatory lawn. With the $150 lawn package, you get a guaranteed lawn seat and access to a presale for next year’s package (the latter comes with all levels). The silver level at $250 gets you the same reserved seat for each show in the uncovered portion of the upper pavilion, and the gold at $450 gets a seat in the covered upper pavilion.
The platinum is, as Toby Keith might say, the big dog daddy at $575. You get VIP Club access, a reserved seat in the lower pavilion and a special entrance-adjacent parking pass for every two platinum tickets.
The packages will be available only online at the Megaticket site, and for a limited time. They’re also being made available before the individual shows go on sale. Sales to the general public begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, but radio station Kicks 101.5 is offering its Country Club members a jump on that. Just go to the station’s site and sign up. Once you’re done, you’ll be able to purchase those Megatickets early.
It brings up an interesting question. Are the same folks who desperately want to see Rascal Flatts the same folks who would be first in line for Brad Paisley? How much overlap is there between Dierks Bentley’s fanbase and Toby Keith’s? Will you be getting in on this deal, or do you plan to wait for the individual shows to go on sale?

I would like to know when the tickets go on sale for the Tim McGraw concert.
