It's funny that you mention "Aint' even done with the night", because John doesn't seem to care a whole lot for those early records, at least that's what I've been led to believe. I think the "John Cougar" album was fantastic as was "Nothin' Matters". A little on the pop side, but great records all the same.

You got be beat by a few. I became a Mellencamp fan the second time I heard "Hurts So Good"(82). Oddly enough, the first time I heard it I thought it was a pretty dumb song by a dude who wasn't very good. The second time I heard it I thought, "You know, that song isn't all that bad". Mellencamp has been my favorite singer since then.

Name me any of his albums and I'd have a hard time pick the top five songs off of that one album. Picking just five songs overall is an impossible task.

Damn I'm old...

I've seen John three times in Tennessee (soon to be 4). The closest I ever got was in Johnson City, and even got picked by John to sing on stage with him. Other than that, the other two shows, I was much farther away from the stage than what you would be if you bought the worst seats in Knoxville Auditorium. I would strongly urge you to reconsider. 40 bucks isn't a lot to pay for concert seats in today's world. I am in the balcony myself for that show and am pumped because there isn't a bad seat in there. You could buy balcony seats and not come anywhere near dropping a thousand bucks. Good luck, hope you make the show.

Thanks.

Yeah, I tried to find the part about cash only, and couldn't find it again. Can't remember where I saw that, perhaps on the venue site.

If I buy tickets at the venue, not the pre-sale, is there a limit on the number of tickets? I need 6 and was wondering if I need to take someone with me. This is why I passed on the pre sale.

Also, I thought I read somewhere that ticket sales at the venue was cash only. The venue I will be buying tickets at normally takes a credit card. I'm assuming this show would be no different???

Thanks

Three quick questions, any info is greatly appreciated.

1. Is the pre-sale open only to members of this forum?

2. Do we have any idea on the locations of tickets for the pre-sale?

3. Can you purchase tickets in the first 10 rows, without buying the VIP package?

Thanks
