February 29, 2008 - Kenny Chesney remembers what it was like to have to park cars, or do whatever he had to do to make a living while he chased his dream of making music. He remembers how far a real life paycheck can go As someone who's always been about "the fans out on the lawn... the ones in the cheap seats," Chesney is offering several thousand seats to his July 5th show at Nashville's LP Field, home to the Titans, at the reduced rate of $29.50. Tickets go on sale Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 AM central time and are available thru TicketMaster.
He may have spent 14 weeks at No. 1 last year with "Beer in Mexico," "Never Wanted Nothing More," and "Don't Blink," but he remembers when he used to want to go to shows, and had to go alone, because all his friends had other things they were doing with their cash. "The whole idea of doing these shows is to throw the very best party of the summer... and where would I want it to rock more than where I live?
"Watching the news, seeing what's going on, I wanna try to pass a little relief onto my fans. I figure for the people who are out there trying to make ends meet, let's give you guys some seats that work for a tight budget. So, for all the working people, the kids with summer jobs or whatever, we're gonna create a 'Shiftwork' section that'll let you spend the day with me, Keith Urban, Sammy Hagar, LeAnn Rimes and Gary Allan."
