ENCINO, CA (April 15, 2014) – Music fans turned out in droves today when tickets became available for the largest celebration in country music history, selling out 70,000 tickets IN 18 MINUTES for BOTH the 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, Country Music’s Party of the Year® on April 19, 2015 from AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, AND for ACM Party for a Cause®: 50 Years of Music & Memories on April 17-18, 2015 at Globe Life Park, home of the Texas Rangers, in Arlington, Texas.  The events were the biggest—and fastest—selling in the Academy’s history. 

 

“We want to thank the fans for their continued support.  This sale was unprecedented and far exceeded our expectations,” said Bob Romeo, CEO of the Academy.  “We’re working hard to plan more events to accommodate as many fans as we can.  Country music is alive and well in North Texas!” 

 

There may be tickets made available as staging for all ACM events becomes finalized and production kill seats open up to reveal more space in each venue – if that happens, the ACM A-List will be notified first.  Fans are encouraged to sign up for the ACM A-List for FREE at www.ACMcountry.com to receive event updates.
