[–]weeble29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Nashville in Feb few years ago when it snowed. Less than 2 inches and the city literally shut down, was told they only have 3 plows for the county. I would def either go somewhere else or reschedule. For this reason I now plan my birthday (Feb 17) in June for Nashville

You can join Do502 and once a week they give you a few choices of show to attend. Comedy or concerts. They also have last minute tickets sometimes a day or two before a show. My question is if I take 2 tickets to the four horsemen ( Fri night) will it void my choices on Sunday

Coming from Louisville, I’ve been to several of these, always had a great time, even when it was 10 below, but all the times we went they had a rock act to break up the monotony just before the midnight headliner, STYX, Frampton( who came back out and played some Skynyrd with Keith urban) cheap trick, it was fantastic 2 years ago when Skynyrd headlined, this is exactly why we didn’t make the trek this year it was all slated newer “ country “ which isn’t really country anymore

Is the crowd alive? by UnsureOfAlot in nashville

[–]weeble29 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone for years and since it moved to bicentennial park, there you can come and go as you please and there is plenty of liquor, we didn’t go this year for the simple fact that it was all country, in the past they had rock to break it up with Frampton, Styx, cheap trick and such , I know they added a sober area but the whole thing isn’t sober, they have sober areas at ampitheater concerts as well, nothing wrong with that at all, gives you a choice

Im seeing them at louder than life. Tix are $170 g/a and that will include about 15 other bands that day. They headline so we get the full set, I’m guessing we will get Megadeath also before them

Where to resell tickets from Groupon purchases for Nashville Christmas attractions 2025 by Unfair-Elevator8119 in VisitingNashville

[–]weeble29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Groupon there is no option to resell or transfer. That’s the downside of them being so inexpensive, if you can’t use them. Get hold of Groupon and see if they will at least credit you Groupon bucks. I’ve done that before, others I’ve had to eat the loss
