I agree $50 is not a bad price for 2 good acts We just bought 9 tickets today for our crew. If you guys think you can spend $40 90 miles up the road get ready to spend another $50-$75 to pay for the gas »

You can't get a "cheap" seat at Alabama Theater in MB for $50. I don't know where you all are "driving" to get tickets for $40. $40 will pay the parking fee at Walnut Creek. Yall need to get out more.

That is the problem.. You CAN go up the road and buy tickets for $40... But it will cost you a BUNCH more than $10 in gas....! Still the price is about $20 too much for the average Joe !

I like the picks, but

I like the picks, but $50...somebody is getting ripped off. Especially since you can drive about 90miles up the road and see them for around $40

Get a group of 5 or 6 and it really won't cost you much at all for the gas.

Could we try and get "Peter Gabriel" or maybe "Deep Forest" here just once? Hardy Har Har Har! It's always Country Music, R&B, or some sort of Pop artist. Always!!

Once again the elitist Azalea Festival people plan events that the average local family can't afford.

The concert isn't until April, start saving your money. If you work it shouldn't be too hard to save $50.00 or even $100.00 for two tickets. fifty bucks isn't bad for two concerts, and besides Sugarland is awsome in concert so it is worth every dime.

50 bucks a ticket- most of the people don't realize the talent right here under there noses- Because you do not hear it on the radio- Little Big Town does have a great sound but I'd just as soon go check out L Shape Lot, Daniel Parish or Carolina TrebleHook just to name a few....thats $45 bucks left to buy some grub....
