Hounddogfan, did you get tickets yet? If not, PM me I maybe able to help.

Thanks Jinx for the great article. I hope the fan club has a preorder for the new Precious Memories Volume II. Anxiously waiting for it!!!! I'm sure it will be as good as the first.

Sorry hounddogfan that you didn't get tickets. I got on right away and still only got row 7. Still disappointed that we have to compete with the general public to get tickets. I live about 2 1/2 to 3 hours away. Love seeing AJ and the Strayhorns! Hopefully they will schedule another one close by so you can get tickets.

BIGHUSKERSRED the Feb 9 date is when the tickets go on sale to the public, so I'm sure if they were going to do a presale it would have been early Wednesday or Thursday morning. dee572 The York is a fair and I have gottin presale tickets many times for that fair and other fairs. Alanfan hope you had a safe trip to the show and enjoyed every minute.

I stayed awake for the last two nights hoping that there would be preferred tickets for sale for the York fair concert. None showed up. I am so disappointed, that as a fan club member, I now have to purchase tickets the same as the general public. Isn't that part of the perks of being a fan club member that you get presale tickets? Gone are the days of getting good seats ( row 1-25) surrounded by other fan club members.  Now I have to compete with the general public and scalpers (Its has always amazed me how scalpers have tickets for sale before the go on sale to the public!?). Now if you want to be up close, you have to win tickets, buy VIP tickets or buy scalped tickets. I belong to two other fan clubs each have the three day presale on most of their concerts (one also has the VIP tickets). Have always gotten great seats, as I DID with AJ fan club. If not for the fact that I am a proud, loyal card carrying fan, I would be thinking twice about renewing my membership. I hope other fans post their displeasure in this in hopes that they change back to a fan friendly system. Wish me luck in getting tracks seats....I'll need it.

I've been listening to Alan's two Christmas CDs for the last month. How about a new Christmas CD for next year!?!? Also, would LOVE see Alan and the Strayhorn have a Christmas tour. Would be in line to get one of those tickets!!!!          Merry Christmas to Alan and Strayhorn families, fan club staff and families, and fan club members and families!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to Alan and his family, fan club staff and their families, and fans and their families!!! Have a wonderful day!!!!

See y'all there!!!!

WOW! Did y'all see who is on the cover of the new Country Weekly? Great article and loads of pictures! Thanks to everyone who voted to make Alan number five in the sexiest men!!! He didn't make it to number one but putting him on the cover makes up for the mistake! LOL!

Anyone going to the Sovereign Center in Reading? Anyone get a M&G or front row tickets?

Everyone still voting for SYDLMAM on GAC top 50 videos?  I vote everyday and only for Alan!!!

Are you still voting?! Two more days to vote!

Had great time at the fair! Got there early in the day, so traffic wasn't too bad but leaving was a differant story. UGH! As most everone has been posting the seats were disappointing. I was in section 5, 11 row, seat 5 at a angle but on a high note the concert itself was awesome as usual. Got some great pictures from the screen! LOL! The little stuff Alan does in his concert just makes it worth the trip. The wink in Livin On Love, the three fingers in Five O'Clock Somewhere, chuckling when the little boy didn't want to be on camera in Little Bitty, singing Good Time Time when the fan club fans had it spelled it that way. Would have loved to have gottin one of the shirts he was tossing but he definately could not have throw it that far. LOL! He didn't sign at all but I got Ryan Joseph (the new fiddle player) to sign my boot which has been signed by Mark McClurg (the old fiddle player) and Monty in previous concerts! YAH! Love ya Alan and the Strayhorns, see ya in Reading!

Unfortunately, no Liz they don't let you know that you didn't get a M&G or front row. 1PAAJFAN sorry you didn't get a M&G. I hope it is nothing to serious but seeing Alan should make you feel a little better. This will be my third time this year seeing him and it is always a treat and a thrill! Maybe will get a chance to all meet!
