Again trying and posting...........PLEASE!!!!!! need tickets for the Holmdel show in NJ. Need to win because my sister in law who thinks I am made of money is so wrong and asks how can I do things when I say I have no money.......this is how.....I really can't stand her, she needs to take of the rose colored glasses and get a grip!

Dan PLEASE Send me to the Columbia MD show!!!!!! I got and completed the mission via street team to promote the show, but it didn't include tickets. I am a huge fan. as u can see by my tattoo. There's a story behind it basically Shinedown's music help save me and it soothes the soul. Been a fan since the first album. I had tickets to see them last year in columbia but a SUV hit and ran over my car 3 days b4 the show.I am a single Mom of 2 teenage boys and since the accident and due to my injuries money is real tight. I've been trying so hard to get tickets to this show, please Dan send me to see shinedown at Merriweather!!!!

PLEASE, Dan, I can't stand the thought of not seeing this show!!! This is the third time I've written, and I sure don't want to make you mad ;) but it would be amazing to be able to go. I have had Sound of Madness in my cd player in my car for months, but I have loved Shinedown for so long, since the beginning. I will be celebrating my 5yr cancer free anniversary, that's true, and it would make this week that much sweeter, but I really just LOVE the band and think the line-up is insane! Thanks again for listening! ;) Tracey (Columbia, MD)

I would love to win tickets to the show in MA. I love all of the bands that are performing there and I think it would be an experience to remember! My best friend since kindergarten recently lost his father (a truly great man, may he rest in peace) to brain cancer, just before graduating high school. It's very hard to see a friend go through the loss of a parent, especially someone whom I am very close with. I know he still hurts from the loss and I would love to be able to hang out with him and take him to a concert for a night. I know he would be so stoked to see all of the bands playing there, especially Shinedown, he loves everything you guys have written and I know he's a huge fan of 10 years and Sevendust as well. He and I are both going away to college this coming year and it would be awesome to be able to take him to a concert this summer so we can go hang out and have a great time!

I would love to see the "madness". I can't stop listening to the CD! To see this show in MA would be a dream come true. Thanks

I would love to win tickets because I love every single band performing! This concert would be the event of a lifetime! 7 Dust, 10 Years, Puddle of Mud, Chevelle, and Shinedown are all extremely talented and it would be a dream come true to see them all perform! -Katrina

I just recently discovered Shinedown in the past year or so thanks to Sirius satellite radio. I really love your music! Your show in Allentown, PA last year was the best show I saw all year. I think I must have taken about 50 pictures throughout the show! My husband and I would love to see you again! I work a full-time job, a part-time job, I make and sell (or at least attempt to sell!) jewelry and I have 2 teenage daughters! As you can imagine, we have very little time to ourselves, so it would be great to win your tickets. I can't think of a better way to spend some quality time with my husband. (Well actually I can think of 1 but I am keeping this 'G' rated!). Thanks for the music and for considering us for the tickets!

I'd love to see the show in Columbia MD. I'm down in DC for the summer and it is my birthday this week so it would be an awesome way to celebrate. Even though I regard Shinedown as my favorite band and own every album I've only had a chance to see a live show at the acoustic set in Hartford a couple months back when you were passing through CT and did a special event for WCCC so I would really like to see the Carnival of Madness show but this is probably my only chance.

i would love to win the MA tics because i have never had the chance to see one of your shows because i have never had the money for it. all of my friends say you guys are amazing live! ive only been to one concert my whole life, cuz it was free

My son and I went to the concert in May and had a great time. He actually hung out with his mom.... It would mean so much to get these tickets and have another great night....me and my son... Would'nt I be the coolest mom!!!!!

I do not need to write a paragraph to explain why i want these tickets. I would be wasting your time. So, plain and simple, I should win tickets because I eat, sleep, and breathe your music. Columbia, Maryland deserves a fan like me there!

hi. where to begin with the history we have.My boyfriend and I are from Boston, MA.Wehave seen you 10 times in concert. It all started back with the WinterFresh Snow core in 2006! You guys were our first concert.Ever since then we have not missed a concert yet. We traveled out to ohio to see Rock on the Range. In fact we heard of the concert from your page. You where the soul reason we traveled out to Ohio. We also went to a acoustic performance at newbury comics.Which was the day we had a very bad snow storm. Our ride home was very very slippery.But we all agreed it was worth it. Every time we go to a show we all grab a shirt. The whole Family. We have introduce our friends to your wonderful music. I beleive we should win these tickets because we have spent a lot of money on the tours and shirts it would be nice to have a break from purchasing tickets. This is the only concert yet we dont have the money to get tickets. But i could promise we would get the money to buy a shirt if we do win these dream tickets! Thank You

I LOVE SHINEDOWN, THEY ARE AWESOME. HAVEN'T SEEN THEM LIVE YET, HAVE BEEN DYING TO SEE THEM FOR A LONG TIME NOW. I LIVE IN CT AND HAVE MISSED THEM TWICE IN CONCERT BECAUSE I WAS AWAY. EVERYTIME THEY COME I CAN'T GET TICKETS, I WOULD TRAVEL TO MASS IN A HEARTBEAT TO SEE THEM. PLEASE PICK ME. DIE HARD SHINEDOWN FAN IN CT...LOVE BRENT AND THE BAND. MUSIC IS AWESOME, I LISTEN TO THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY. KEEP MY DREAM ALIVE. PICK ME PLEASEEEEEEE. LOL CHRIS

I absolutely love you guys! You're easily my favorite band! I've loved you guys since the beginning and have converted many friends along the way into liking you guys. I wanted to see you when you were at Rams Head in Baltimore, MD but couldn't because of school, it fell on a night I had a major test. I would LOOOOVE to see you guys in Columbia, MD. I had planned on trying to buy tickets but suddenly my car requires $1600 worth of work that wasn't expected so its pretty much impossible for me to purchase the tickets to see you guys in Columbia. It would mean so much for me to be able to finally see you!! The only thing holding me back is the money, the Columbia show actually falls on my one day off a week! So it would be beyond amazing to be able to see you guys.. kinda like a dream come true. I've been trying LITERALLY for YEARS to see you guys, something has always seemed to get in the way and I've heard AMAZING things about how you are live! So please, it would mean so much to me! Thanks for your consideration Amanda

I'm DYING to see Shinedown live again, it's been WAY too long!!! I would've had my tickets as soon as they went on sale but unfortunately I've been layed off & out of work for a WHILE!! I've been pretty depressed about it (going to interviews but no one seems to want me), these tickets would help brighten my mood a bit!!

I live in MA, ever since i heard of u guys in 06 i loved ur music!! i got to see your concert last summer with Staind and it was AMAZING!! Sadly even if i do win this i wouldnt be able to go beacause of a Family Trip up at Lake Winnepesauke. Its fun but i wish i could go see u guys

I just won the Sony Bloggie contest!! Comin' to see ya on the 28th! Same day as my birthday!! What an awesome birthday it will be to see you guys!

Please, please, please, please, pretty please! Definately my favorite band of all time. They've changed my life with their music. Their lyics got me out of a very dark time in my life and when "second chance" came out, it was the culmintion of everything I had just been through. That lyric I am currently drawing up into a tattoo. It will be my first tatoo ever, and probably my only one. That's how much their music means to me. I was 23 when that happened. I just turned 25 on Tuesday. This would be an awesome birthday present! Thanks! -Jen

I would be so grateful if I could win tickets to see Shinedown; in Mansfield, MA! My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and we never have any money to go anywhere. We take the kids with us, even on special occasions. It would be awesome to go out somewhere without them; and not to mention, to see our favorite band. Thanks

I want to see Shinedown's awesome performance!! There's no place else I'd want to be on August 1st except in Mansfield, MA!!

I think I deserve to win because my husband & I are probably your oldest (in age) fans....48 & 54 respectively. We never miss a show when you guys are in the NY/NJ area.....Starland, PNC, Nokia....doesn't matter where. We are serious fans and have never once been disappointed in any show....although we did have to help out a bit @ Starland...it was alot of fun. You guys truly bring the audience alive and it's great. Would love to see you all again in Holmdel:)

Please pick me for the Holmdel, NJ show! I have been a huge Shinedown fan since Leave a Whisper was released. I have seen them live a few times, but I have not had the chance to see them in the past couple of years. I would love to see some of their newer material performed live. I would be very grateful for the opportunity to see them on this tour at Holmdel, NJ!

Have seen use a few times, It just Keep`s getting better and better ! Your our favorite Band, You shore know how to Rock the house.And would be Honored to see you`s Again in Mansfield !

Why I should I win? I deserve to see Shinedown in NJ with a "real" crowd. I love this band..Sound of Madness is one of the best CD's and Devour one of the best songs (my opinion of course). So when they came around the local area the only show I could get to was at a club in PA which I thought would be a cool place to see them (smaller venue). Nothing against PA....love the state...go there on vacation sometimes but I was very disappointed in the crowd. The band was awesome but there is nothing like seeing a show in the NJ/NY area where people rock out (not swing around a little or stand like soldiers and then give you the evil eye if you accidentally bump them a litte). Almost got into a fight with someone and I'm a pacifist!!! Need some mosh action and I don't even mosh!!! Just love the energy of the crowd........

I would love to go to the Holmdel, NJ show! It would be an honor to see the guys live! i'm seeing them on 8/6 and would love to see them again! I dont think begging will help me win so i won't! all you need to know is i LOVE Shinedown and this would be the best is i won!!

Every now and then you hear a song on the radio that grabs your attention. you have to find out the name of the band or you will go nuts! That's what happened to me the first time I heard "Save Me"! Lyrics like that can only come from an inner soul from someone that made it through a baptism of fire, or had a very close friend that did. I was hooked on Shinedown from that moment on.It had been a while since a band and song affected me that way.Now, here is the kicker, I'm an "old school" rocker that would love to win tickets to see you guys at Columbia,Md. for my 60ith birthday present. Yep! going to be 60 going on 25,with hair to my ass, music blaring and maybe seeing the band that blew me away a few years ago and continues to do so! Save me, was MY life until 15 years ago! Talk about a song that grabs ya by your soul !? I relate to 80% of your music. Both lyrics and music are fantastic, and show wisdom far beyond your years! Hopefully, I'll be lucky, and will win tickets to see ya in Columbia Maryland. Keep on Rockin' John............Pulse410

I want to win because that way I can bring my friend who first got me listening to 10 Years, and who I saw Shinedown for the first time with. He really deserves to go see Shinedown with me again, since it's partly thanks to him that I am so into music. Thanks, T.S.! Mansfield, MA, here we come! :D
