Yes you have to buy tickets to this event. For those who have never been to earthday it's intense. There are several bands all day. Huge Crowd, moshing etc. Some bands are Heavy Rock. I love rock and all kinds of music, but now I will be going due to the fact that Daughtry is going. I will be one of the few with a Daughtry shirt on. Seeing that I am a Orlando native, just be preparred for the other fans and groups attending also. Can't Wait!!! Mardi Gras Was Incredible!!! I tried to find tickets for the Daughtry in Vegas but was not under Daughtry. I found the date he lists on this website and It is under Bon Jovi? Is he opening for Bon Jovi or is he a seperate Show???
