I am a college student (meaning I have no money) who has seen Shinedown once and would love to see Shinedown again. They are an absolutely amazing band with great songwriting and musical talent. No matter what mood you're in there's always a song from them that will speak to you in one way, shape, or form. I would love to have the opportunity to see them in Mansfield. Thanks a bunch, Dan

A friend of mine had me listen to you when you first came out and I was hooked. I have heard several live tracks both acoustic and electric, but have never been able to experience you in person. Like many others I am on unemeployment and just can't afford to go. I would be ecstatic if I won tickets to Mansfield.You guys are incredible and I know it would be a great show. Plus, what better show than Shinedown to get some frustration out and enjoy great music. Thanks, Teresa

I live in NY and you are my absolute favorite band and I have never been able to see you live. My current boyfriend and my sons father whom is now deceased since 2006 once opened for you guys in 2005 as the band Bipolar at Northern Lights in Clifton Park NY and I had to work that night so I missed that show too. have all your albums and know all your songs..I would even punch a person in the face if they dare argue with me about who the best band in the universe is if they didn't agree with Shinedown! I love you guys and I WILL drive as far as I have to to see you play. I can't even buy the tickets this time as i have to move my family by the end of Sept. Please please please give me tickets i really really really want to see you guys live! Amy ~ NY

Thanks Brian (NJ)

I can't believe that I haven't discovered this band before NOW. What have I been missing? I really would love to win tickets to the Holmdel NJ concert. I haven't been to a concert in over 10 years due to an overbearing, neurotic EX BF!!! LOL. I am a huge fan since I discovered Shinedown, and am on my way to the music store to buy as many CD's as I can find. Pick me, pick me. :)

This wold be my first Shinedown concert, i would love to see you guys blow the roof off of Columbia Maryland. I used to hit a bunch of concerts a year, but life changes, and my concert days are behind me. Help me change that. I have become a huge fan over the last few years, hell i have damn near wore out all my shinedown cds. I'm a huge skynyrd fan and was hesitant at first when i heard you guys were redoing simple man but you did an amazing job, i love it almost as much as the original. Not many good things have happened to my wife and i in the last few years, wiinning some tickets to rock out to you guys may be just the ticket to turn that bad luck around. Well what else can i say i can talk shit all day and boo hoo, but i just really want to see you guys play. I am about 2 1/2 hours from the columbia show, but will walk there if i have too, Please Please Please, shit now look at me i have lowered myself to begging. I need to get off of here and get drunk. See you at the show.

my first show was 2 yrs ago when you guys played for free at the ky state fair and there were so many people who filled the stadium that the fire marshal threatened to shut the sow down. lol it was great you guys broke the record for a show there i believe that stadium held 15,000 -20,000 people if not more im being modest. that show made me a fan for life . I LOVE you guys keep it up

My very first shinedown concert was in april in asheville nc. Now i've always was a big fan but never seen yall live well let me tell you after the first show i saw i was hooked. Guy's you put on one hell of a show, so then i bought my carnival of maddness tixs and saw yall in simpsonville sc and you were so much better. Not that yall wasen't great the first time cause yall were. But to make my trip from asheville nc to sc i was so excited to see yall rock out again. But as i was there with my friend amanda, and we could not figure out were the vip parking was so i stopped right in front were the tour buses were and ask someone. And to my surprise omg there was brent smith walking streight for me.(well he walking back to his bus i guess but he was close)!!! I looked at him and i truned around and asked my friend isen't that brent the singer of shinedown and she said yes it is,and after that day my only dream in my life is to meet and ahve a picture taking with brent smith.and tell him what his words to his song means to me face to face. All i want to say from that day on is thanks guys for singing songs that touch me in so many ways .and with the lost of my mother only 2 yrs ago your music gets me through it and heals my heart alittle bit each day. I don't live near those places that your giving away tixs but if you are giving away anywere in sc ,nc, tenn or any place were i can drive i'll go cause all i ever wanted is to meet yall and see yall concert in the 1st row...thanks your biggest fan stephanie duarte

I have been going to shows for the past 5 years and have been too many shows to even count now. For a while I made sure to attend every 3 months, because I just couldn't get enough. I finally got to meet and hang out with you guys in Jersey last summer and had the best night of my life. I brought my boyfriend to his first Shinedown show in Philly and that weekend I ended up pregnant (thanks guys!) So since then I have not been able to attend any shows. I am ready to get back out there and rock with you guys. I am going through Shinedown withdrawls

You guys rock so much. I love you guys soooo much. you have inspired me so much. i am going to star playing electric guitar to be in a rock band. My favorite new song is The Crow and The Butterfly. its amazing. your song, Second Chance, made me tear up the first time i heard it because my brother was hit by a car last year and had to get life lined and was in the hospital for 12 days. He had a miraculous recovery. the medical staff couldnt believe it. He definitely had a second chance on life. I have been wanting to go to one of your concerts for a while now. And i was going to go to the one coming up in PA, but im going to be down in New Orleans to help katrina victims. So i would be estatic if i won free tickets to one of your concerts in the Northeast!! I love you guys :)

You guys have been my favorite band since I first heard leave a whisper. I then saw you in concert with theory and fell in love with the best live show I've ever seen. I joined the original mafia fan club and have been a huge fan ever since. Your lyrics are amazing and i have always found great meaning and also direct relations to my own life. I thank you for being the best band around and I hope to see you in Mansfield.-Ryan

I am the biggest fan out there !!! I am 47 years old and listen to the Shinedown cd's everyday to and from work. I watch every video I can and can't wait for a new dvd. We last saw the band at Power Plant live in Baltimore, Md. when our son was 11. We could not get close enough. Then last year we went to the Raven kick off party and could not even get in. I have had terrible luck !!!! Anyway, I would LOVE to win some tickets to the Columbia, MD show but if not I will still be there on the lawn !!!! I love Brent and the guys. Keep rockin my butt off !!!!! Kellie

I have been following Shinedown since Leave a Whisper. I have seen them many times in concert when there were only a handful of fans in small venues. I have turned a lot of my friends onto them. I am so very happy that they have made it to the big time but since they did I was not able to get up close to the stage for the Holmdel, NJ show (I had to get lawn tickets) which is really disappointing because I really love to be right up front at their concerts. They put on such a great show and I just get lost in it all. Shinedown's lyrics are wonderful and the energy that comes off the stage is the best I have ever seen!

I think my sister and I should win the tix in Columbia MD because. We had And really tough past 10 years or so. My sis has been suffering from Lyme Disease turning those years. Which also has led to other illnesses such as Neuro Endocrine Disorder (Endocrine tumors) P.I.D.D. (Primary immune deficiency Disorder) endometriosis and lupus. She just had a Doctor's appt. a week or so ago. She didn't get very good news. They told her the endometriosis has spread to the bone in her hip and leg. She pretty much wheelchair bound if she leaves the house. She is really going down hill. I can tell she's starting to lose hope. And all she's ever been her whole life is a fighter. In the past 2 years her sicknesses have advance, Her Dog died, her cat, died, and her horse died. I know sounds like a country song right. My Sister has always been an animal person we as a family share special bounds with our pets but especially my sis. I tease her and call her Saint Francis. haha But now a days it's tough to keep smiling. Last year we saw Shinedown and it was a great bonding experience for us both. We've always been close but we're closer now then ever. I just want to see the same smile on her face I saw last year. One way or another Rock that house guys We LOVE YA!

I should win the NJ tickets because I just got over cancer, I'm the biggest Shinedown fan north of the Mason-Dixon line and and I could use a little bit of luck right now....(but not the little perv on the new york lottery commercials....he's friggin' creepy!!!)

I should win tix to see Carnival of Madness in Columbia, Md because I live in delaware and nothing good music wise ever happens here. I also have 3 kids that are driving me crazy and i can't wait for school to start. :) But mainly because I LOVE Shinedown. And the other bands on the bill. I need to have some fun. if I can't party with them, I might as well party near them.

I so appreciate the free show you did on Easter at Up or on the Rocks in Hartford, CT. We had to kick our family out early so we could come see you! I love your energy and I relate so much to your music. Thank you for all that you do!

Yes I want to win a pair of tickets to the Homdel NJ show. Why? Because I ROCK just like SHINEDOWN!!! and I also got my SHINE ON everyday!!!!

I have not been to a concert in 16 years or more. Since our children were born we have not had the money, a sitter or the time to do something for ourselves. My husband and i would love to come you this Saturday, July 24 in Charlotte NC. My cousin is getting married but i can see them anytime!

I would love to see Shinedown in concert! I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CONCERT!!! and Im 27 years old. Shinedown is my favorite band and where better to start than to see them. Please pick me to go to the Columbia MD concert. And it would be a great belated birthday present especially since I had a crappy birthday this year. Please pick me!

I'v gone to 2 Shinedown concerts and each time something happens and i dont get to see you play. last time i was sick a drunk guy at Rams Head hit my friend when he was getting a picture for me and we had to leave early because they guy tried to fight us. I want to win the tickets in Columbia, MD so i can finally see you play.

I have been following Shinedown since they used to open for 3 Doors Down...now they are the opener! You guys are awesome and have gotten me through bad and good times...thank you!

Id love to see Shinedown Carnival of Madness on Sunday August 1st in Mansfield, MA. Theres no better way to start off the week or the month for that matter than going to see a Shinedown concert.

Dont know if this hing takes a few minutes to show up but me and my 5 year old son would love to see you guys in Columbia MD. You need the kids to keep the music alive. He absolutely loves you guys and wants to become a rockstar someday. He plays the drums at home and he loves to be inspired by different musicians. Went to the last show with Halestorm and Staind and we had really bad seats, so we couldnt see much. Hope you pick us. We would greatly appreciate it! Ihave my fingers crossed.

I love Shinedown! I have a full-time job, 2 kids and a husband. Shinedown lets me get away from it all. Shinedown lets me escape. I need an escape! Thanks :) Keep the music coming!

My daughter and I are heading down to Raleigh this weekend to see you guys...and we can't wait! For my daughter's birthday, I bought 2 "Gold" ticket packages, so we will get to see ya then. But, we would love to see you guys as many times as possible. We really love your music and we have every single one of your records (ok...CDs). My daughter has every single album and all the other songs itunes has of Shinedown's on her iPod. No joke! Her favorite song right now is the Sound of Madness and Junkies for Fame. Her room has posters of you guys and she has a guitar that my wife and I can hear her at night singing your songs while strumming her guitar. We would love to see you guys more than once...believe me!! Keep rockin' and I hope you decide to make the "Carnivel of Madness" a yearly (summer) event!!

This past x-mas I got tix to the D.C. show for my 9 yr olds 1st concert. She let her devil horns fly the entire night and had a blast. Zach was gracious when he threw her a pick during thier set and then to come say hi and take a picture with her. Truly a great way to be a rockstar and make her night. Unfortunately I broke my foot on the job and have been out of work for awhile and wasn't able to get tix this time around. The show is two days after my birthday and it would make for a great gift. The chance to see a really classy band. Keep up the good work and I will keep listening! And make sure to stop in at the 98 rock studios I love hearing you guys with mickey and amelia!
