Win Tickets to the Carnival of Madness

I think I should win the tickets because I love you guys and can't afford to by tickets. I am 55 years old and I don't know how many more of these big concerts I will be up to. But you guys are my favorite new band. I sure would love to see you in Jacksonville FL. or, Orlanda Fl. I joined your fan club because I really had planed on seeing you and I wanted to get good seats. It would mean so much to me. God Bless and have a great and safe tour. Connie Brown

Dear Shinedown ~ I live in Northern California, and I believe that I should win concert tickets, because it woould be like a bigger than ever dream come true, that I may rock out with Shinedown for my birthday this year ~ You are my favorite band and I would travel where ever I have to just to spend my birthday this year with you in concert! Oh, please Oh, please help make my dream come true! God Bless you ~ P.S. = I would like to invite Shinedown to the area where I live, On the Russian River just 8 miles ner the Pacific Ocean and out where the Redwood Trees grow. It's beautiful here...you just gotta see it! Oh, please Oh, please ....Oh....come visit me!

I first saw Shinedown one Sat. morning on "The Early Show" on CBS. I fell in love. Brent played an acoustic set and I immediately went out and bought CD's, my ringtones on my cell are Shinedown tunes, etc..I constantly sing "The Crow and Butterfly". It's been a difficult past year. My son(age 24) passed away suddenly back in Feb., I lost my Mom to Leukemia about 6 months prior to losing my Son. It's seems like it will never end. I keep my head up, think of the good things and try to take care of myself w/my chemo(breast cancer-winning the battle!!) and never ending Dr. appts. I'd like to do something fun for a change. Charlotte,NC would be a great date for me. It's a beautiful city also. I'm trying to make it to the Knoxville,TN show next week. You guys keep on Rockin', I'll keep on being a FAN!! : )

I believe I should win free tickets because, I have a disability and have been going through a finanicial hardship lately. I LoVe! you guys and I have all your albums and also I live In NC, where the #1 CITY OF TICKET SALES; CHARLOTTE! YAY!, you guys definately have the BeSt! fans in Charlotte. Please choose me. :-0

I have waited to see Shinedown for so many years! Since the first album came out I have always imagined seeing the band live. This would be the most amazing concert I have ever attended. Every song that I have heard by Shinedown has been extremely well written and equally well performed! To see such talent live would be a dream come true, and my little sister and I would have a great time. After being such a big fan for so many years it would make me very happy to see my favorite band live! I have learned the drum parts to so many songs of yours and my band is working on a cover of Second Chance! We're still a young band, but hopefully songs like yours will bring us together! I can't begin to explain how badly my sister and I would love to see you in Charlotte, NC! Thanks for rocking and keep it up! Carnival of Madness definitely will be the tour of the summer!

please i'd love to go to the Charlotte show me and my boyfriend are huge fans your music totally gets me through my day i have never seen you guys live before so i'd love to see you all your music seriously is the one thing that keeps me sane

please let me be able to shsre you with my son who just got married 7/10/10 he would need orlando show thank you for your consideration safe touring

I listen to older rock, but when I heard "take your medicine" .......... I was hooked ...... I need tickets, I need thqt medicine ..... I hope ya'll come to Houston----Texas Kim

Hey Guys, I have been trying to save up money to come to your show because you rock completely, but I have been giving my money for good reasons. I have been trying to contribute to my mom because of rough times. I would really want to see you because it has been awhile. I have tried to win tickets on WJRR, but they got an age limit, so my mom would have to claim the tickets, but luck is never on my side. My mom loves you guys as well by the way. So we continue to try anyway. I hope you guys give me & my mom the chance to win tickets to the Orlando FL Concert.

Last year during the Stimulate This tour, the date closest to me was July 7 in Roanoke Virginia. That day so happened to be my 21st birthday. Excitement ensued. Plans were made. And then shot down and destroyed. EVERY one of my friends who was going bailed. That night, I sat at home by myself watching my Live from the Inside DVD again instead, trying my best to feel like I was there. I've been bailed on 3 other times also since you've been on tour for The Sound of Madness, but those times I didn't let that stop me and attended 2 Charlotte and 1 Raleigh show by myself. The reason I should win the tickets for the Charlotte show is guilt trip + free tickets = no excuses. I'll throw in that I'm a close to broke college student and am SOOOOOOOOOOO close to finishing my degree in Nuclear Engineering from North Carolina State University. I will graduate in December having completed one of the most challenging undergraduate programs in the nation, and damnit I have EARNED my right to have some fun! I write this message from the dorm room at NCSU where I am serving as a counseler for a nuclear engineering camp for high school students. The Charlotte show is the day after this camp is over, and what better way to unwind from nurturing and inspiring our world's future than the best f**king concert ever?

I am active duy military stationed near North Pole, Alaska. The base is far away so awesome bands (IE Shinedown) hardly play up here. Especially during the winter months, when it gets to be -60F, and everything is frozen for eight months. I have two really good friends who have looked out for me while I have been here and they are both from Charlotte and have never been to a concert. I would love to take them so we can get a break from our strenuous military lives and also celebrate their birthdays. Also we are huge shinedown fans, we blast it everywhere we go, the new and the old. We have every song on our MP3 Players. If we don't win, we hope you at least post super cool pictures, and have the best of times while touring!

it is my 5th anniversary with my wife on friday, and her and i love you guys, unfortuntely with my job and hours i work it is almost impossible to go to concerts now. because of my anniversary my job gave me 5 days off andi don't have to return until wednesday. so it would be a perfect end to our vacation. we just bought our first house together so the money is tied up, even if it was 20 dollars a ticket that would be too much. I wish we could go places during our vacation, but its just time off work. were gonna spend time with each other, watch movies etc, but nothing big. I can't tell you how bad i need a concert to get my stress out, i have only seen you guys once, opening for creed, but you have been one of the best opening acts even though you only played about 6 songs, my favorite song is crying out off the leave a whisper cd. I dont have an ipod but my cell phone has music on it and i have all of your cds on it. We believe in supporting artists so we do not download anything, If we do get tickets I hope you play that. my closest venue is ucf arena. Here's hoping for a great night on tuesday. and really hoping you play her name is alice, love that song.
