Thanks everyone for all the helpful tips. I'm going to get on bookin somethin soon. Omg, I can't believe it's almost August already. It's coming. I need me some Daughtry!

I am! So... I see that in the last post someone said that there is one motel nearby. What is everyone else doing as far as when you're driving there and how long you're staying? I'll be about 5 or 6 hours from home so I guess I better get moving and decide where I'm going to stay. Let me know what the game plan is for the rest of you

... there's a beer tent?

When I went to see the band in Flint we stood outside in the parking lot forever. No one was even starting to line up yet. Someone had a little girl with them, probably about 5 or 6, and she went over to the tour bus. Chris stepped out to take a picture with her and you should've seen all of us tripping over each other to see him. He ended up taking the picture with the girl and then went back on his bus. Guess I don't blame him. We all probably looked a little crazy running @ him like that. Oh well, I have no shame when it comes to Chris!

I went for GA. I want to be as close to Chris as possible If they don't open the gates till an hour before the show it's going to be total madness... and I can't wait to be in the middle of all of it!

Sorry, Mary. I just checked the fair site and saw where you found 10 a.m. My stylist is a friend of mine and I get internet thru my cell phone so I think I'll take my laptop in with me. Yeah, for real The tickets are going to be sold @ the Star Tickets Plus site. When I checked the site today it was really busy because tickets were going on sale for some other big event and it wouldn't let me in right away. Apparently, they have some kind of cap as to how many people they let on the site at once. So it said to keep trying. It also had some tips to help make it easier to get good tickets. Make sure you create a user account ahead of time so you don't have to deal with that they day of. I would also say to try to make sure you are on the site before 10. I'm not really sure how it works, if you could just refresh when they go on sale, but I'm sure the site is going to be crazy busy. I already registered. Just wanted to let everyone know! Good luck!

Why 10 am? Is that the way it usually works?? I'm so lame. I have a hair appt. friday @ 9:30 and now I'm tryin to figure out what I need to do about tickets. Should I cancel for Chris?? If anyone finds anything else out, please let us know!!

I'm so glad you ladies are so on top of things! It's good to have some sort of idea about when we need to start getting serious about tickets Alanna, I thought your comment about not talking to your friends about Daughtry was too funny. All of my friends have to listen to me whether they like it or not One of our local bars plays a lot of Daughtry when there's a DJ. I heard both "Crashed" and "What I Want" there. They all just roll their eyes at how excited I get. When "What I Want" came on one of my guy friends was like, "No way. I thought this was Nickelback!" Dork... Anyway, I'm sure all of us crazy fans will find each other @ the concert cause all of us die-hards will be in line hours before the concerts supposed to start! Thanks again for the info!

It's amazing how dedicated Chris's fans are. We are an obsessed bunch, that's for sure. Oh well, I guess there are worse addictions, right...?

I appreciate it so much! Don't worry, if it is GA I'll be there very early to get in line, so I'll be right there with ya. Can't wait. I haven't seen him since last April. I think I need my fix
