ALAN JACKSON’S FIRST AUSTRALIAN TOUR SELLS OUT IN HOURS
“FASTEST SELLING COUNTRY MUSIC TOUR IN AUSTRALIAN MUSIC HISTORY”
Tickets for Country music artist Alan Jackson’s first ever tour in Australia - scheduled for March of 2011 - sold out within hours of being put on sale Friday morning, Oct. 8 (AEST and AEDT). Ticket sales for the four announced dates - Melbourne (March 4), Sydney (March 7) and Brisbane (March 10 and 11) - sold so quickly that the tour was extended; an additional concert, a third show in Brisbane, has been added to the schedule. Tickets for the newly announced March 12th show in Brisbane go on sale October 14.

“We’re looking at what may be the fastest selling country show or tour in Australian country music history,” said Rob Potts, CEO of Rob Potts Entertainment Edge and co-promoter of the tour. “The excitement level for Alan Jackson’s first tour in our country just can’t be measured. The fans can't believe he's really coming - and ticket sales have proven just how excited they are.”
When reached on his boat about adding another date to the Australian tour, Jackson laughed, “I‘m a Southern man, and that‘s about as far South as we can go – let’s go do it!”
"I've always heard that it's just beautiful down there, and everybody I know that's been there has loved it,” added Jackson. “I’ve heard that the Australian people are really warm and welcome people from the U.S. so generously. That's all I've ever heard - just great things. Great things."
Alan Jackson is one of the most successful and respected songwriter/performers in music, inspiring audiences across several generations with his modern approach to classic country. A 16-time CMA and 16-time ACM Award winner and a GRAMMY winning songwriter/performer, Jackson’s career to date has included sales of more than 50 million albums and 34 #1 hit singles, including ‘Drive’, ‘Chattahoochee’ and ‘Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)’. On November 22, Jackson will release 34 Number Ones, a career-spanning, double-disc collection featuring all 34 of Jackson’s #1 hits. With 37 songs in all, the project will also include two rare tracks as well as the Zac Brown Band-collaborated hit “As She’s Walking Away.”

| Jacko play it again one more time in Melbourne - 2011-02-02 |
| Looking for a G-O-O-D T-I-M-E but missed out on tickets like so many people. Have to come from Adelaide like I did for Brooks & Dunn. Maybe you could come to nice old Adelaide like Taylor did. Guess it's 5 o'clock somewhere but without Alan it's not worth a dime so I'll pop a top because where I come from we'll remember when we missed seeing ALAN. |

| Awesome - 2010-11-24 |
| I have waited for years for Alan Jackson to tour. I thought it was great when Brook & Dunn toured but couldn't believe it when he announced his tour. I'm flying to Melbourne for the weekend for his Melbourne show then flying back to Sydney on the Monday for his Sydney show. If I had the money I'd fly to Brisbane as well. Can't wait !!! I'm sooooo excited. |

| Miss Tamworth - 2010-10-13 |
| Hey There, I think you should do a more intimate concert in TAMWORTH, The Country Music Capital of Australia (Your Nashville kinda)..That would be awesome. My Mother would absolutely love it and then i wouldnt have to worry about an old lady traveling to sydney alone.
P.S Can't belive you broke our line dancing record well done mate |

| Come to Townsville - 2010-10-13 |
| HI Alan, You should put on a how at Townsville Like Tim Mcgraw did, So many people up Norht miss out on singers like your self, and Townsville smashed the attandance that Sydney had. I went to buy tickets for my friends and missed out the first lot in Brisbane your concerts sold out so quick, but was able to get the second show, though even then they were welling quickly, guarnteed if you put one on in Townsville you'd get a massive crowd. Check out the facebook petition, there would even be people who would go to that one after already seeing you in Brisbane or Sydeney. Please Please come up to North QLD and experience the love Of Country music we all have up here. |

| Hi,
My husband and I missed out on tickets in melboure. Please put on another concert in melbourne. Livin'on love is my husband and I's song, it was played as the first song at our wedding, when we danced for the first time as husband and wife. To watch it being performed live would be amazing. Please also note that many people I know also missed out on tickets, I belive you would have no trouble selling out rod laver arena again.
Please consider putting on another show and thank-you for your time. |
