How to Buy Tickets to the CMA Music Festival

The CMA Music Festival takes place in three areas of Nashville, including the Nashville Convention Center, Riverfront Park and the LP Field. The tickets for CMA go on sale before some of the acts are even announced publicly for the event. But with such a huge event like this, it's a given that it will attract the big-name acts of country music.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Watch for CMA Music Festival tickets to start going on sale at least several months prior to the country music extravaganza. Buy tickets according to the different levels of seating offered at LP Field.
2. Review the various seating options. Gold Circle and Floor Level tickets are the most sought-after seating options and sell out rather quickly. Consider getting either lower-level or club-level seating that can also provide good views of the stage at an average price level.
3. Order tickets directly from the CMA Festival organization. Look for a ticket order form that you can download and print from the CMA Music Festival official website (see Resources below). If you want more personalized service, contact the main box office at (800) CMA-FEST (800-262-3378) to buy tickets or to get the current pricing for seats.
4. Buy a 4-day pass to enjoy everything a festival-style event such as CMA has to offer. Such a ticket gives you access to all the events held at the festival, such as the daytime and evening concerts and entrance to the family zone area. When you purchase a multiple-day pass you have a better opportunity to participate in all the festival's happenings and get the most for your money.
5. Purchase tickets from one of the online ticket agencies. This is a convenient choice because you can shop online and explore the many different prices, seating options and what dates and tickets are still available.
6. Plan to make the trip to CMA not only a great concert experience but a fun family vacation. Buy your tickets from an agency that offers more extensive travel and entertainment packages. Find deals that combine your hotel stay, transportation and admission to the CMA Music Festival in one bundle.

Tips & Warnings

• Bring all your children with you to the CMA Music Festival. Youngsters 3 and under can attend the concert for free, while kids 12 and under enjoy discounted ticket prices (but not for Gold Circle tickets).
• When you buy tickets for CMA, explore the ticket refund policy of the organization. Most of the time, all sales are final and non-refundable and the event is held rain or shine. In case of severe weather, the site's management has the power to cancel events.
