FYI

and I cringe at the sound...as randy would say.

just post to spam.

I am new to Country Music and have acquired a love for it over recent years.
I was checking out Randy's website and saw the incredible amount of concerts he has booked all over the country. WOW!
Do his concerts sell out quickly or should I take my chances at the door. What is the fans advise? Can someone out there help me?

Waiting isn't recommended but i have at times gotten some good seats at the last minute that weren't up for grabs initially. but again, that's not always a given.

I guess if you truly plan to go, buying them up front would be your best bet. But sometimes they do holde comp tickets that they release the day of the show if they find some of their guests and that of the venue can't come.

Always and Forever...An RT Fan

Special1 - definitely do not wait to buy at the door. Not every concert is a sell-out but most are and you would not get good seats if you waited to buy at the door. Randy Travis is VERY popular in concerts all over the USA and he just returned from tremendous crowds in Ireland. Welcome to the RT website.

Hey its good to know that the Dove awards got it right. The Grammys tried but failed when they give it George Strait. Congrats Randy this is much deserved!! Around the Bend is such a great album.

So very true dwayne. The Dove Awards got it right. Around the Bend is a tremendous album. Genuine country with the most unique voice of none other than Randy Travis.
Dr Don Givens

I think Around the bend is one of Randy best cd yet. And what is even better is that it had a dvd with it so I get to see him as well great. He has the best voice ever.

Awesome, Fantastic News Randy! All your RT Fans are so happy you won the Dove Award for, "Around The Bend." The way you have been winning awards recently, I can guarantee this is only the beginning!
Congratulations Randy and we can't wait to see you live again soon!

Congrats Randy on winning your 8th Dove Award. No one deserves it more. "Around The Bend"is a stellar album. Not hard to see why it would take the prestigious award.

We, your fans, are so very proud of you. Not just for your accomplishments( though they are many). But mainly because of the man you have become. What you represent to the world as a man in Christ.
As Dr Givens points out "a man of integrity"! We love you Randy, and always will! We have" Faith In You"
