Ticket packages no longer mean that a mystery-meat hot dog and cheap domestic beer are included with your seat. Live Nation and Sleep Train Amphitheatre announced Tuesday the introduction of the country megaticket, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. One fee gains you entrance to six country superstar concerts at the venue, giving you a reason to rock those cowboy boots all summer long.
The benefit of getting a megaticket -- aside from the aforementioned boot wearing -- is pretty clear: presale. Megaticket buyers get access to the shows (and the seats) before the general public, which means better sightlines and proximity. So when you're shouting romantic stuff at Brad Paisley, there's a chance that the acoustics will carry your verbal love letters to the Paise himself -- a better chance, anyhow, than when you were perched in section 305, row M. Maybe you're not a Paisley fan. Hey, that's cool. These folks are playing, too, so you can yell love stuff at whomever you choose:
