I'm a huge Shinedown fan, you guys really know how to Rock. I would love to see you play in Holmdel, NJ. I was fortunate to see you guys play at The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, NY and I have to say it was one of the best shows I've seen there. I also have seen Puddle of Mudd at the same intimate venue and it would be great if I could see you all in one night as it would be a truly amazing experience as I have read from other fan posts who have gone to other shows. I would love to be a part of the Carnival of Madness....

I would love to win tickets to see the band in Columbia, MD. I've been a fan since the beginning and have enjoyed watching SHINEDOWN's rise to fame. Nothing compares to being outdoors, at one in the moment with your favorite band. Rock on, guys.

my daughter and i have been fans forever. we travelled to many states to see several shows over the years. A few years back, we stood in line in a snowstorm in Worcester for 5 hours (after getting in a car crash on the way there) so we could get up front and then hopped a plane to SC to see them at HOB a few days later. We planned vacations from work around Shinedown's tour. The economic downturn of the past few years has eliminated our ability to go to shows. We hung around the parking lot of a few shows just to hear the band (and hope to meet them again after the show) but couldn't afford tickets. This year, my daughter turns 18 and will be moving on. I'll be an empty nester. I would love to get one last show together before this happens...

there is no exageration when i say, i LOVE shinedown. they've been my favorite band for as long as i can remember, and I seriously LOVE seeing you guys in concert. I really wanted to take my best friend, who has never seen you in concert (and is also a huge fan), to see you guys, but unfortunatly i have no money. that is why, getting tickets to mansfield would be absolutly amazing. you have no idea how great that would be :)

I ? Shinedown. There is nothing better than a Live Shinedown Show. I missed their big tour last year at merriweather because a suv hit and ran over top of my car 3 days before the show :( I did get to see them at power plant that September and it was amazing, I lost my voice for 3 days after that show :) I had tickets to see them with nickelback in DC back in April and missed them because my ride worked late and well once we got there we already missed them. we did get to see the tour bus pull away... I got the mission threw street propaganda to promote the show at merriweather but it's not giving up tickets :( I'm a single parent still recovering from this accident so I really don't have the funds for the tickets, but want more than anything else in this world to be at this show, i need a shinedown fix soooo bad....

I would love to win tickets to go and see "my boys" in Holmdel, NJ. I am a true Shinedown fan and had the opportunity to see them 2 years ago. I buy all of the cds when they come out, I also request their songs to be played on our local radio stations. I have converted many family and friends and they love them....not as much as I do.....the song "If you Only Knew" has got to be one of my favorites. My boyfriend and I broke up and I was the one in the "wrong doing" department, and although we remain friends, I wish he knew how I want him back so badly, so "if you only knew" holds a deep passion in my heart....please pick me....Love you guys!!!!!! Alison D XXXOOO

Hi Dan Would love to see you guys in Holmdel NJ. Shinedown is a talented band that writes and sings from your souls !!! You guys would be awesome to see in concert !! thank you !!! Patti

Hey Dan! I would love to win a pair of tickets to Holmdel, NJ because Shinedown sometimes is the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. Seeing them live lights a fire inside of me that gives me so much strength and even gives me the opportunity to do as Brent says, forget about everything thats outside of the arena and focus on the energy of the room. I have been faithfully following them since the very beginning and am so pumped to see their show get bigger and bigger. I remember seeing them be the opening band and having a short set list, and now here they are, bigger than life and living their dream. That alone gives me the will power to go out there and fight for my dreams, becuase if they can go through everything and get to this point, anyone can. Right now getting a chance to rock out is one of my only times to actually "live" as all I feel like I do is work full time and go to school full time. No matter what I'm doing SD is there in the background getting me through it!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! ;) We aren't able to buy tickets, and I am celebrating my 5 yr cancer-free next week! That would be the BEST way to celebrate I can think of!!!! We met Barry last year at the Ravens kickoff party in Baltimore and he was AWESOME, I would love to see them again! We would go to the Columbia, MD show- thanks! Tracey

Hey Dan, I would love to win tickets to see you guys LIVE ! I'm the one who actually goes to the store to BUY the real CD the day it comes out - your music makes me feel alive again. I've got an ex husband who beat me to a pulp for years & I just finally divorced. He took everything I have. EXCEPT for my MUSIC, your music, esp. "The Sound of Madness" saves my sanity when I feel like I have nothing left. How Ironic, I know. Love you guys ... "If you only knew" ... I'm working on a "second chance" at life and win or lose ... I wish to thank you for making such great music. All the best, Lisa in NH

I would love to win tix to the Columbia, MD show. I teach not far from the venue, and live only 15 min. from it. Since we had our kids, because of money, we don't get very many chances to go out and do anything together. It would be great to see you guys again. I first saw you open up for Tantric at a little hole in the wall called the Ottobar in Baltimore many years ago. I've been hooked ever since.

I remember going to my first Shinedown Concert in Philadelphia at Penn's Landing. It was a free concert and I took my sister and it was her first ever concert. Fly From The Inside was the first single on the radio at the time. It was the most amazing show I'd had ever seen. So from there on, I would never miss a show when Shinedown was anywhere near Philly. I even flew to New Orleans to the Voo Doo Music Festival when you guys opened for Alter Bridge, Velvet Revolver, and Kid Rock. I would love to see you guys again, I've never been to Holmden, NJ, but would love to see a new venue as well. I wanted to buy tickets to the show in Camden, NJ, but I was laid off from my job of 7 years and unfortunatly canot afford it this time around. I'm not saying I deserve the tickets, but I would live to see Shinedown more badass than ever. I'd be happy if someone win the tickets who have not been lucky enough to see how amazing of a show yous put on too. Keep doing what your doing guys! And I'll tell Walt Lafty you guys said hello. -AL from Philly

I think your music is totally amazing and I would love to see you live! I just graduated nursing school and passed my board exam last week so a night out after all that studying would be awesome. (Holmdel, NJ)

Dan, My name is Kevin from Norton, MA. I deserve the tickets for the mansfield, MA show because ever since i got a wiff of this show it has been the one show ive been looking forwared to this summer. However money has been coming in slow so i havent been able to get the chance to buy tickets for it. I have been a huge Shinedown fan ever since their first album. I saw shinedown when they played with Godsmack and Rob Zombie a few years ago. Ever since then i have wanted to see them play live again. 10 years is also a band i have been very interested in seeing. I have seen them 2 other times. Once with family values tour when they were first starting and then another time after they released division. I have both of their albums. Now out of the five bands going Shinedown and 10 years are the only two bands i have seen live. They both put on one of the best shows i have ever seen and i go to a lot of concerts in recent years. Chevelle, Puddle of Mudd and Sevendust are also very good bands and i have been fans of them as well for awhile now. However i havent gotten the chance to see them. I actually had been in talk with 10 years trying to get to meet them because i manage a band that has Shinedown and 10 years as huge influences in their music and i know they would love to see them play or get a chance to meet them. So im just throwing it out their giving it a chance to get to see these amazing bands live. Thanks

I would like to win the tickets to the Holmdel, NJ show because I am the HUGEST Shinedown fan! I've been to every show they've played in my area dating back to 2002. My first Shinedown show was at Starland Ballroom with Smile Empty Soul. I met the guys after the show and they are just the coolest band on the planet! Even offered to grill me up a burger!! So sweet! Have had the pleasure of getting to hang with them at every show I've been to so far and I just CAN NOT miss this one! I have every CD & DVD! Their version of Simple Man is one of the first songs I learned to play all the way through on guitar! My dream would be to sing a duet with Brent as he has the greatest rock n roll voice out there! Please Please PLEASE PICK ME!!
Patrice's picture

Please pick me for the Mansfield show. I have been a Shinedown fan from the very beginning, when they were playing the small clubs like the Paradise in Boston - that's when Brent would just stand at the mic and sing with his eyes closed, not moving a muscle....now he's running all over the stage! I guess he's not so shy anymore! I would LOVE to see the guys but money is very tight and I can't afford the tix this tour, but would really love to see them - it would make my summer....thanks!!

Mansfield please! I am a HUGE Shinedown fan and have never seen you guys in concert, this would make my summer a fantastic summer. Rock on you guys, you always do!
evowoman's picture

became a huge fan in DC when I saw you guys with Breaking Benjamin and Nickelback. You guys were awesome! We walked out on Nickelback and they were who I actually went to see. Hook me up with Columbia, MD tix Please. Thx so much - Still a new fan regardless - Keep up the awesome work.

My wife and I already have pit tickets for Columbia, MD, but our 2 kids want to come too. We have been playing Shinedown for them since birth and they know and love all of the songs. Shinedown is our family band and we would love to finally be able to see them together as a family.
wpf092's picture

Simply stated it is the best tour of the summer. Beside being a long time fan of two of my favorite bands, Sevendust and Shinedown. What can I say, it is a do not miss show. New England loves Shinedown, they have a huge fan base in the Boston area. The Comcast Center in Mansfield will be rocking. People beware!!!! Heather from CT

Bentleyz_Nana's picture

mansfield! Even though we don't live there, its a worth a drive out of Maine! My girlfriend and I both got dumped within 2 weeks of each other just these past 2 weeks. We deserve to have a girls get away and rock out with a great band! Send us some Tckets! :) Luv ya all!

Dan, I'm a 43 year old classic rock/metal guy who has been a tremendous Shinedown fan for many years. My son is 13 years old and is mostly into top 40/pop. We rarley agree on anything anymore, especially what music to listen to. But, we both love Shinedown and will sing along together when a Shinedown song comes on the radio. We can listen to Shinedown songs on my mp3 player and feel like we have something in common. Seeing the Carnival Of Madness show in Columbia, MD would be an awesome experience that we would probably both never forget.

Dan, I deserve the tickets to the Columbia, MD show because I have been following Shinedown since 2002 before they were even relevant in the main stream music world. I first saw Shinedown in concert at the Constitution Hall show where they were the opening act for 3 Doors Down and Tantric! I was blown away by Brent's voice and found my new favorite band once he did the cover of Lynyrd Skynyrds Simple Man. Directly after the show, I bought their first CD and have bought the next two since. I have not missed a show in Washington, DC or Baltimore, MD whether it was at the DC101 Chili Cook Off in front of 50,000 people or at Rams Head Live in Baltimore in front of 2000 people! Since 2002 I have followed the band even when the band has lost and found new members. I cannot miss this show and would truly appreciate getting the available tickets. I don't care how good or bad the seats are, I just have to hear Shinedown! Thanks a lot!

I LOVE Shinedown more than anyone I know. At one concert in Philly - I saw them and they were briefly signing autographs in the back. I got to shake Brent's hand and I almost DIED. Talk about butterflies... I go to every concert - but with the economy things are tight :(... Holmdel is closest for me and I'd absolutley love to go... PLEASE pick me. I'd be eternally grateful!
