Music is for dancing you cant expect people to sit thru a concert!  Performers always say "get up on your feet", they want people to get up and dance its why they make music...to move people!

I am going, cant wait!!  Have you been before?  This will be our 4th year going its a lot of fun so much to see and do!
If you want better seats there are tons of people selling tickets downtown, they will buy yours and sell you better ones.  Ticket selling on the streets is legal in Nashville but make sure they have a vendor license.  
If you have any questions I would be happy to answer what ever I can.  

Make sure you bring rain poncho's (I get a few of the $2 ones from walmart so I can toss them once the rain stops.)
And dont forget the sun block and hat!

Karen,
I'm a little surprised your seats were way over to the side but that was nice of security to let you go up and take pictures.  I probably walked right by you when I came out of the meet and greet, did you notice people walking by with a picture in their hand?  They usually do allow people up front for the last couple of songs so that was nice they gave you a heads up so you could get a good spot. 

Hi Karen,
Did you enjoy the show?  I had a great time obviously meeting Alan was the the best part.  It was kind of surreal, he walked out and stood in the tent and each of us was let in one a time.  I was totally tongue tied once I got up there I cant believe it! lol  If you knew me you would know I am never at a loss for words but all I managed was "hello, very nice to meet you" shook his hand, then he put his arm around my shoulders, they took a picture I said thank you and blurted out " I love your song Drive" and he said "Thanks, I appreciate that" and it was over, I walked away thinking....why didnt I say this or that!  I wanted to tell him the first time I heard Drive it brought back great memories of sitting on my dads lap steering the car down the street.  It was something I hadnt thought of in years and that song brought it back and made me smile.  But all I managed was I love your song Drive!!  Oh well there is always next year right!!  lol   I bet the front row was awesome, you must have some great pictures!  Did you catch a pick?  I cant wait to hear all about it!

Hi - no I have never been to Meadowbrook.  Thx. so much for the heads up regarding bringing a jacket.  I wonder
what the weather will be like on Saturday night.  I am assuming the seats are Section B - I won't know until I
pick up my envelope that evening.  YOU must be SO excited!  Oh my gosh, I would be speechless for the first
time in my life if I met him!  What are you going to say?  Where are your seats?  We are staying in Tilton.
Are there restaurants around the venue or should be eat in Tilton?  How is the parking at Meadowbrook?
Do we need to get there very early?  Thx!
Karen 

Parking at Meadowbrook isnt bad, a couple of large dirt parking lots, the one on the right is closest to the venue but usually fills up early.  They do come around with a golf cart and offer rides but its really not a long walk.  There is a restaurant right down the street from Meadowbrook called Patricks, its a popular spot to go before a show because its so close.  Here is the link..  http://www.patrickspub.com/index.php 
You dont really have to get there too early, there are lawn seats so people sitting up there will arrive early to get the best spot but since you have the FRONT ROW you will be all set.  If your tickets have a VIP stamped on them you can go into the VIP bar, its closer to the stage and the bathroom line is shorter!  When its time to leave if you are not in a hurry go into the second stage tent and wait about half an hour for the traffic to clear then you can just drive right out! Oh and there are some good outlets in Tilton if you feel like shopping!   http://www.tangeroutlet.com/tilton
I am very excited and nervious, I have no idea what I will say to him, any suggestions???  lol

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!  I just found out I won the front row tickets!!!  I am on cloud 9 also!!!!!!!!!  I have veen to many concerts but have never sat that close and have been a fan since I first saw him when he was an opening act for Randy Travis!  Maybe we could meet - you are so lucky!  My friend and I are driving in from upstate NY.  The husbands said to go and have a girls weekend!

Congratulations!!!  Thats great!!  Are the seats in section B? You are never going to want to sit anywhere else...front row spoils you!  lol  This is a great place to see a show, I'm guessing you have never been here since you are coming from "upstate NY".  Even though you will be under a roof its still outdoors so depending on the weather you may want to bring a warm jacket. (although once the show gets going you will warm right up! lol)  If you have any questions about Meadowbrook just let me know I go to shows there at least 3 or 4 times each year.  Congrats again!! 
Diane

[Thanks everyone! I will let you know all about it.]

Thanks everyone!  I will let you know all about it.

Just found out I won a meet and greet for the Gilford show...so excited cant wait!!
Has anyone been to one, how does it work?  Will he autograph something or is it just a quick picture?
Anyone else going?  This is a great place to see a show!

I love it...so much easier than the old one

How many people are going to Meadowbrook? 
I have seen Alan here before its a great venue!
