Win Tickets to the Carnival of Madness

Id like to win the tickets to the charlotte show. My birthday is the end of this month ill be 20 and sadly ive never been to a concert and the line up on this is amazing. the two bands ive been dying to see will be playing chevelle and shinedown. i recently moved from florida to nc so my bro who is military would have some family but im struggling to find a decent job so i cant afford these tickets but this is the perfect show to experiance for my first concert and the best birthday present. I bleed rock music and love this line up my number is 440-994-0451**ashley**

I want to win tickets to the charlotte show! I think that should win because my husband and I NEVER agree on concerts to go see and never end up going together. This is our DREAM concert because his favorite band is Shinedown and I absolutely LOVE Will Hoge! Its an interesting combination and its like the concert was custom tailored for us! My husband recently lost his job and we are broke as a joke so we cant afford tickets at the moment, but are in much need of a fun night out together! Winning these tickets would be AMAZING! ~Steph

Looking to score some tickets to the charlotte show sat. night...it would be freaking amazing to see this show!!!!! My boyfriend and I want to see every one of the bands playing and we both absolutely LOVE you guys. Your songs having meaning, character, and rock! Please pick Morgan for these tickets! I want to take part in a rock concert that I would never forget!!! and it would after all be my first rock concert ever. I'm 21 years old and I've never been to a rock concert, come on guys make it happen:) :)

Because you guys freaking Rock .. Been to many concerts as from the words of Brent the "Carnival of Madness is not a concert IT'S AN EVENT" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charlotte Location PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Orlando, Fl tickets I had the pleasure to meet the guys in October at HOB last year. UNfortunately I was in chemo treatment and was not feeling well, but the band still rocked and it was an awesome show. I would like for my daughter to go and experience the band LIVE and it be a great mother daughter night out. She is 13. I have put her through so much this past year and she has stepped up to the plate and helped me out tremendously. I could not afford the tickets to the concert since I am still paying for my treatments and doctor bills. As you now cancer is very expensive and my husband and myself work full time, but have used all our finances and savings to battle this. I have been through so much and have conquered it all.

Charlotte NC...My fiance & I fell in love around the time Second Chance got big on the radio here (sappy I know) but it has such a great meaning for our lives & relationship and we will be dancing to it on our wedding night in October...so our first trip together was to see you guys in the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach last year and we LOVED IT! You guys rock! We then took a trip to see his family in Detroit last March, and we were so surprised and excited when we found out you guys were playing there that exact same weekend so we took as a sign & bought our tickets again. On the way to the show, we took a wrong turn & got held up at the Canadian border for what seemed like FOREVER but we drove like crazy to get to the show & luckily we didn't miss a bit of you. Point is, we love you, every song you have we love, and we'd love to see you again in our home town or anywhere else we may get the chance!

Would absolutely love to win tickets to the Charlotte, NC show! We just moved here last weekend from Atlanta (yes, saw you there with Nickelback) and we could really use the BREAK from unpacking the neverending pile of boxes! The entire family (4 of us) love you guys! Take pity on us! Please, please pick us! :)

I should win these tickets because I love Shinedown. The other bands are cool too!! I tried to buy the $500 apiece backstage tickets today to the CAnandaigua NY show and they were gone :( I will be there one way or another!! Brian

true story. about year & a half ago, i was in a terrible car crash. i was bleeding from the brain in 5 different spots, half my left lung collapsed, 6 different spots of my spine were chipped or cracked, my left collar bone & all the ribs on my right side were broken. they didn't expect me to live through the first night. until that point, i took life for granted. so many of shinedown's songs remind me of that. they have a positive message & i can apply them to just about every situation in my life. because of my love for their music, it helped me come through that situation, & anybody who has suffered a TBI or had someone close to them suffer one, it's not exactly something that goes away. i haven't had the opportunity to go see them & would love to actually see some of the people who helped my family & i. because of that, i would really love to be the one who wins the tickets to the virginia beach show.

WE LOVE SHINEDOWN!! We have been fans for years. We had the priviledge of meeting the Band in person several times, most recently prior to a show in Vegas, and was thrilled that my husband and I were able to meet Brent at a hotel in California where I used to work. Well we just moved across country to Virginia as my husband reached his dream of becoming a firefighter. I am so very proud of him and really wanted to take him to the concert for his graduation gift, but the across country move was really tough on us financially. I would be so grateful to win some Virginia Beach, VA. tickets so I can give my man a well deserved post fire academy graduation. Thanks for considering us for the tickets and Rock on!

Orlando...Im a big fan, been to alot of concerts...really want to go to the orlado one, but cant afford to because ive been out of work for 2 years and have to choose between concerts and electric bill...and no offense guys..I love yall to death.... but the electric bill usually wins. I would love to be able to see yall this year.

I have no idea how I plan to convince you guys to give me some tickets for the Charlotte show, but i guess i can sure as hell try. I'm a seventeen year old teenager who just enrolled in college in Charlotte. I've gone to a few concerts in the last two years or so, including: Creed, Poison, Crue Fest II, and others, and i absolutely love them. Music is my passion, and you guys are one of my all time favorite bands, and I've yet to see you perform. I'd buy the tickets myself, but considering college textbooks can add up, as well as college tuition itself, I'm kinda screwed for cash. I love every album you've put out to date, and even love your cover songs. I'm not gonna lie, Simple Man is one of my all time favorite songs, and personally, I think you guys did it so much better, and you couldn't imagine how much shit i get for saying that, living in the south. But i do have to agree with the comment Shea left a few below me, you guys just fucking rock. Keep it up, and put out more, rock is NOT dead.

I should win the Charlotte, NC tickets because that is the closest you will get to my town. Shinedown is the only band that I can listen to no matter what mood I am in and makes me all better. My friend and I usually always go to a concert or two during the summer but with this economy, I don't think that will happen unless we luck up and win a pair of tickets. Plus we love you guys!

i should win the tickets cuz i'm awesome. do i have to explain anything else? i do? aww... recently i just went to Miyavi's concert and i was in 3rd row, and was completely wowed. BOBO could seriously play the drums without even looking, half the time he was looking somewhere else, Miyavi liked playing the guitar behind his back a few times. honestly i want to be able to compare shows XP because i really like Shinedown and Miyavi equally for music. Miyavi blew me away live, and i am really hoping someday Shinedown can. working at McDonald's doesn't pay anything and i saved for MONTHS just to see Miyavi's concert with my friend in Georgia (waited 9 hours outside the venue; 10 altogether). (i am from FLORIDA- WOOOOT.) now my friend and i are SOOO strapped for cash because of the last concert. everyone said it was a crazy trip, it was crazy, but it was fantastic. we really didn't have the money. but i don't often get to have fun. in fact that was the first time since i can't remember that i had fun. and honestly that was the first time i looked forward to anything in YEARS. Miyavi's crazy - in a good way. i would want to go to the Jacksonville or Orlando show. i think both are about equal distance from where we live. i've listened to Shinedown since i was in my senior year in high school in 2006, it really helped me get through hard times then, and still keeps me strong today. so i am very grateful nevertheless. your music really impacts my life. it would be another awesome experience being with a bunch of other people that share the same common interests. i've been thinking about who i would take, and actually i would take my mom because she likes Shinedown too, and she just got laid off work, so i think i want to have a fun time with her too this summer-if i can ;D it would be so great! we haven't done any mom and daughter bonding for a while... it will be a surprise for her, i won't tell her unless i win (^ ^;) peace & love, Becky
