I live in the Charlotte, NC area. I should win because my life has been a carnival of madness and that's why I think you guys named the title of the show after me.

I believe that I should win tickets to Orlando, I have been following you guys forever and have turned all my friends on to your music. I have never missed a show in tampa or florida in the last 3years, other than the vh1 cruise. I always post pics on my networking page of the shows I attend and I use your lyrics as my status updates depending on my mood. I'm a loyal fan and always following new songs, videos, & etc... I think you should reward your loyal fans because you guys ROCK!!!

you guys should give out tickets for connecticut! me and my best friend where planning on going to the show in august, but neither of us have the money to go. we wanted to buy tickets to meet you guys and everything =\. so if you guys gave out tickets for connecticut that would be absolutely amazing. i have loved you guys since the day i was born, honestly. i grew up with you guys, and i sware, shinedown will never ever grow old on me. i've seen you guys 3 times, and you only get more amazing every time. i hope i can some how make it to a show :)

I would love to win tickets to the show in Charlotte, NC because Shinedown is my all time favorite band. And i have been dying to see them for years. And i simply lovee the other bands that are playing. I would do nearly anything to go to this show. And i dont know if i can afford tickets because my family is struggling with money and my sister just had surgery. Id also love to take her there. Alos my parents have tons of hospital bills to pay from when i went earlier this year because of kidney failure. She doesnt have to money for me to go and i dont want to aske because i know shes struggling and i dont want to seem selfish. Please let me win the free tickets so i can take my sister and others with me to see Shinedown, and the other amazing bands showing. Thankyou.

I would like to win because I've seen Shinedown before at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC and they truly rocked the place. They are my favorite band and I think Brent Smith is the best vocalist going today. You guys rule.

I believe I should win tickets to the Charlotte concert because I really like you guys, but I don't have the money for tickets. My family has been having financial issues, and we've barely been able to afford necessities. The only reason we still have internet is because my mother needs it for her business. I would love to see you guys in concert, and would appreciate winning free tickets, even if I can't afford the tickets myself.

I would really love to win tickets to the show in JAX. I have a younger daughter that loves the band and has done extremely will in school and i would like to take her. I had taken her older sister to pensacola last year to see shinedown and she won the guitar that Sick Puppies gave away. She got to meet everyone and also Brent. My younger daughter knows she may not win a guitar but would love to be able to see the band. I beleive she deserves it and would appreciate the experience.

I don't live in any of the cities listed, but Virginia Beach is the closest to me. I would love to win these tickets mostly for my husband. Shinedown was our first concert together when they were here in NY at The Chance in Poughkeepsie and it was a month before our wedding day. As he is currently on an annual training with his unit, VMGR-452 United States Marine Corps, this would be the perfect thing for him to come home to.

I would love to win tickets to the Orlando show. I have been a long time supporter of Shinedown and have seen every show in the Tampa/Orlando area since the early days. Shinedown is my favorite band, right down to my cell phone ringtone. But with my work being slow due to the economy, purchasing tickets for the show at UCF Arena just wasn't a possibility. I just couldn't afford them this time around. And that sucks because Sound of Madness is my favorite Shinedown cd and I would to hear those songs played.

I should win tickets because I am one of your biggest fans if not the biggest. I have seen you more than 10 times. Brent, I met you at Rockfest 2004 in Kansas City a month before I left for Iraq. I saw you guys early in your career at the Hurricane in Westport. I also have a tattoo of the Shinedown emblem on my left wrist in flames that I sent to you last year and you posted on your website. I have driven miles to see you in North Carolina, Saint Louis, Kansas City, Illinois, and Sedalia at the MO state fair. I had to move away from my sons last week for the Army as I now live in the Atlanta, GA area. You guys are coming here for the Project 9-6-1 family reunion show I believe. The carnival of madness goes a few places around the south close to ATL but not to ATL that I know of. As with all Shinedown fans, I love your music and your lyrics. I also love the way you guys love what you do and how genuine you truly are. Please assist me with tickets so I can see you soon!!!!!

I live in Jacksonville. I have recently started to listen to Shinedown and I am totally hooked. And as for "The Crow and the Butterfly" off the charts. Reminds me of a friend that I was "Too Late" for. Anyway, they rock and I would love to see them live. I haven't seen them yet but would love for you to help me with that. :) Thanks.

Shinedown is the only band that I would go see with my parents, we have been following Shinedown together for a while and have a rock'n blast every concert we go to. I just want to keep this going, I don't see them much and live over an hour away So if any Chicago tickets are availible that would be awesome! :)

I have seen you guys at the House of Blues in Orlando twice now, and each time I was just blown away by your energy and your performance! UCF Arena is a great venue, and it's kind of like my second home (graduated from there, taught there, too ;) so it would be awesome to see you play in such a sentimental place. Love you, and thanks for making every song you write ... matter. xo

The reason I need to win these tickets is as follows 1. I love Shinedown SOOO much. In 1000% honesty Shinedown has saved my life! The summer The Sound of Madness came out, I was going through one of the roughest times in my life. This album is the reason I can still type this today. All the songs on that album have reached out and touched me in a very special way that I can never forget. I will always be grateful for you guys saving my life. 2. My girlfriend has never had the experience of seeing you guys and I believe it is something that has to be done by everyone. 3. I have run into hardcore money issues in the past few months and affording these tickets is not in my budget right now :(. For those reasons I believe I deserve tickets to the Orlando, FL show. Thank you guys and have a safe and great tour! -Neil King-

I would love tix to the Va Beach show. I have been a Shinedown fan since the 1st album & know every song. I have only been to a Shinedown concert once when I was 8 months pregnant, and I couldn't really enjoy it too much because I was so umcomfortable. I'm a single mom, and I would like to take my mom, who is also a fan and takes care of my son for me during the day while I work. It would totally rock if I got these tix. Thanks!

i would LOVE to win tickets to the orlando show because i havent seen you guys since 2008 when you played the 97x next big thing. my mom also really loves you guys and 10 years and would be really excited if i got tickets for us. my mom also is a teacher and has been working at a summer camp all summer so i think it would be nice if i could take her to a concert she would enjoy since she always takes me to see the bands i want to see. because of money she didnt buy tickets to take her self to see john mayer or kings of leon soo it would be awesome if we could see you guys and i could i guess repay her for all the places she takes me since im only 16 : )

I don't live in Orlando, but it's the closest City to Tampa. Does that "rock" block me??? heeheee Oh, and I should win cause Betsy the Vampire Queen read it in a fortune cookie on her sushi pj's. AND BEFORE THE SHOW we can meet up at the " BOSTON LOBSTER FEAST" for all you can eat lobster, seafood, prime rib, sushi and crab legs.........woohooo. Even if I don't win, ya'll have GOT to check that out anyway, it's freakin awsome!

I have recently been diagnosed with a possbily fatal disease I found the news out about 2 weeks ago, and every day since I find myself "living as if I were dying." I now appreciate and cherish each and every day that I get, because you never know how much more time you have left on this earth. I have found myself trying to do all the things I wanted to do and experience in life. Your music has helped me get through this difficult time in life and there is nothing more that I would love than to see your kick-ass band in concert! You guys are amazingly talented and I want to thank you for your hard work and all the inspiration that you have given me. I would absolutely LOVE to win tickets for any of the concert locations! It doesn't matter where the concert takes place, if I win the tickets, then I WILL find a way to get there. I'm coming from Louisville, KY....but I would travel across the entire nation to go see my favorite band live. Thanks again guys! You're Awesome!!

I should win tickets to the VA Beach concert because I am a hard working single mother who has worked her butt off for the past year trying to Support 2 teenage boys.Because of my dedication to my Kids I have not been to any concert (or anything fun really for that matter).Cause i Just cant afford too. And I absolutely Love Shinedown! Would love to see them!!

For the past 5 years I have tried to make sure NOT to miss a concert whenever you guys came to Charlotte cuz y'all are just so killer awesome! Last year when you were in Charlotte at the Music Factory in October, your concert fell on the same weekend as the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, in which I was participating! Any normal person probably would not have gone to see a concert on a weekend like that (39.3 miles to walk in two days), but since everyone always calls me crazy...I was for sure not going to miss that one...after all I had gotten my tickets right when they went on sale and was bound & determined not to put a dent into my Shinedown concert streak! After having alwked all over town for about 26 miles that day my legs were shot...feet blistery...back aching...I was supposed to soak in the tub with epsom salt or something...BUT where's the fun in that!?!? NOPE I took an awesome friend in tow and headed Uptown! And even though I probably looked like an idiot inching my way from the car to the venue & up the stairs to the lawn...more than head nodding wasn't happening once we found a good spot to stand...I had a blast and would not have wanted to miss it! AND riding that fun wave of having been to yet another awesome Shinedown concert..and with your songs blasting on my Ipod...I managed to ignore the pain and loss of pinky-toenails to blisters..darn shoes...and finished the last 13 miles of the walk that next day and even did NOT come into the finish line as the very last person! YEA! How's that for crazy Fan-dom?!? LOL
