2008 CMA Festival Tickets Explained

Special Note- In 2007 the CMA Festival nightly concerts at the Titans Coliseum had only one large stage for the performers to play on, in the previous years we had two different stages set-up which set right next to each other. I don't know what the set-up is going to be for 2008, but I can promise you either way it is a lot of fun!

CMA Festival nightly concerts are held at the Titan's Coliseum and this is your only place at Fan Fair where you will have reserved seats. The Titans Coliseum is one large football stadium with four different levels of seating: Gold Circle, Platinum, Lower Level and Club Level. (Click here to view the seating chart)

CMA Festival Gold Circle Seats- These are the best seats for the festival. They are located in the first 20 rows of SectionsA, B, C, D, and E. The CMA (Country Music Assoc.) does allow previous ticket holders to re-purchase their tickets for the next year, and these tickets are in high demand. If you can find them buy them.

CMA Festival Platinum Seating- This section consist of all the seats on the main floor except for the first twenty rows of sections A,B, C, D, and E. I am a huge fan of the platinum seating for the level of excitement is so much greater on the main floor, not to mention you will have a much more direct view of each one of the stage.

Lower Level Seating- The lower level seating is the 100 levels at the stadium. Sections 111, 112, 113, and 114 are not bad sections, but you will want to be careful and make sure you are not any further back than these four sections. The major advantage to the lower level seating is most people sit down the entire time, and since it is stadium style seating you will not have a problem seeing over the person in front of you. Please note- you want to sit on the east side of the stadium if you want to get in the photo line. The photo line allows fans to walk between row 1 and the stage and take pictures while the stars are playing.

Club Level Seating- The club level seating area is the 200 level sections in the stadium. You are not as close to the stage, but sitting up there gives you a different prospective of the stage since you will looking down on the performers. The club level offers you the opportunity to watch the concerts inside an air conditioned area which is a huge benefit especially on those muggy summer nights. Again, these aren't bad seats…just not as desireable as the platinum.
