"The single night concert ticket option has been extremely popular with
our local fans as well as those who are unable to attend all four days,"
said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "An outstanding night of music for an unbelievably low price is the perfect way to spend a summer evening with friends and family in Nashville."
Individual tickets to the Nightly Concerts on the VAULT Concert Stages
at LP Field do not include admission to the Greased Lightning(R) Daytime
Stages at Riverfront Park or the truTV(TM) Fan Fair(R) Hall in the
Nashville Convention Center. However all of these activities are included
in the Festival's four-day ticket packages, which can be purchased through
the same means.

alphabetical order):
Thursday, June 5 - Jewel, Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Sugarland
and Taylor Swift

Turner and Carrie Underwood
Saturday, June 7 - Trace Adkins, Rodney Atkins, Alan Jackson, Little
Big Town, Craig Morgan and Kenny Rogers

Otto, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam
Additional artists will be announced soon. Surprise guests have also
become a hallmark of the Festival, enriching an already star-packed lineup.
Traditionally limited to attendees with four-day ticket packages,
individual daily tickets will be available for the first time in 2008 to
the truTV(TM) Fan Fair(R) Hall in the Nashville Convention Center on
Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8. Tickets cost $20 per day, plus
applicable handling fees. The tickets can be purchased in advance by
calling 1-800-CMA-FEST (262-3378); or onsite during the event at the box
offices at both the Sommet Center and LP Field.
This new opportunity allows fans an opportunity to experience the
truTV(TM) Fan Fair(R) Hall and obtain autographs and photos with some of
their favorite artists. Ticket holders will also have access to the musical
performances in the Acoustic Corner. These tickets do not include access to
the Nightly Concerts on the VAULT Concert Stages or the Greased
Lightning(R) Daytime Stages at Riverfront Park.
"We are happy to offer daily tickets to the truTV(TM) Fan Fair(R) Hall
on the weekend days of CMA Music Festival this year," said Genovese. "We
are always looking at ways to make the event more accessible to fans that
are unable to be in town for all four days."
A limited amount of on-site, pay parking ($10 per vehicle) will be
available nightly at LP Field in Lots E & F, just across the Woodland
Street Bridge. This parking lot is not available for pre-purchase. It is
available for purchase on-site on a first-come, first-serve basis after
5:00 PM on Thursday and Friday, June 5-6, and all day Saturday and Sunday,
June 7-8. Ample paid surface lots and parking garages are also available in
Downtown Nashville, conveniently accessible to LP Field via the Shelby
Street Pedestrian Bridge.
Attendees can feel good about having a great time. CMA Music Festival
is a charitable event benefiting music education in Metro Nashville Public
Schools through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance for Public
Education. To date, CMA has donated more than $1 million to purchase
instruments and fund music programs for Nashville's 75,000 school students.
The philanthropic program, aptly titled "Keep the Music Playing," was
founded in 2005 as a way for the CMA Music Festival and its participating
artists to give back to the community.
