They converted the far upper left/right pavilion sections 9 & 15 in GA seating this year at Great Woods. They will now have GA lawn and GA pavilion in addition to pavilion reserved.

Its about time. They probably finally learned and it got costly , that selling them at pavilion prices , then lowering the price as the concert got closer. I'm guessing they had to issue a lot of credits from complaints

I think you could cross off Aug 26th , I don't see him going head to head against Chesney , only because a lot of his fan base also follows Chesney.

I posted this info last week. We also landed on the moon in 1969, FYI :D

Cross June 10th off as well (Frisco) and likely June 17th because it is doubtful a Frisco-Great Wods back to back weekend schedule would happen. Also doubtful he'd play July 1 or 8 because it is too close to the 4th of July weekend. If it is a Great Woods Saturday show in 2017 8/19 will almost certainly be the date.

I took your info last week as gospel and booked 8/19 for RR (and only 8/19).
Hope you're right Patrick!
