Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown Tour Tickets

"Anger" is the only adjective I can come up with to describe this event! My husband and I began the ticket quest with much excitement. We saw the event was coming to Red Rocks Amphitheatre and we LOVE Willie and his music. All we needed were the tickets. We ordered the tickets through Ticketmaster as we've done in the past. The tickets were reserved seating, rain or shine, Tue Jun 21 2011 3:00 PM Row 43 Seat 58 and 59 $64.00 each plus $12.50 handling charges each. They arrived promptly in the mail and our day was planned. The disappointment began when we arrived at the park around 2:00 PM for the 3:00 PM show. Many attendees were lined up waiting to get into the park. The gate guards told us the gates weren't opening until 3:00 PM. A lot of ticket holders expressed the same frustration regarding the lack of information on the tickets. Some folks even left not intending to return. The tickets only said 3:00 PM. Then we found out that Willie Nelson wouldn't even be on stage until approximately 9:55 PM. My husband and I felt duped along with many other people in line! We were told we could go home and come back if we only wanted to see Willie Nelson seven hours later. We drove 35 miles to get there. Imagine our disappointment. And we weren't the only unhappy ticketholders. We did stay for about 4 hours and enjoyed the Main Stage and the Blue Bird Cafe Stage shows. We were just unable to stay all those hours because of later commitments in the day. In any event, we did not get to see our beloved Willie due to the time misinformation both in the advertisement in the newspaper and on the tickets. Unfortunately we were told we should have checked the website for the show details before we even bought the tickets.

the ironstone venue was great! beautiful outdoor arena, good food, and cold beer. we had never heard of most of the other guys playing but we warmed up to them quickly as they were pretty good (some better than others) and a whole lotta fun. we went to see willie (of course) and jamey johnson and willie was great, a little mellow, but he is 78. we were let down by jamey. only played a couple of songs off his first album (ya know, the one that made everyone crazy for him) and he had little to no crowd interaction. don't know if we would go out of our way to see him again. but overall, it was a great time. even if some jackass did tell us to sit down because they couldn't see. it's a concert! get up a dance!!!

I purchased four tickets for myself and parents, it was a Sunday eve show and we were excited as my mother @ 73 loves Willie Nelson and had never seen him in a live show Willie Nelson DIDNT even hit the stage until 9:50 PM it was way to late as we drove over an hour to get there and my mom didnt get to have her Willie Nelson concert live and now probably never will WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT !!!!!

Willie was great even though he is getting much older his performance was great. Jamey Johnson was also good. The rest however was not. Event promoters should not mix OLD Country with Country Rock. The two crowds do not mix well. We are old country folks and the first 4 or more entertainers were far too loud obviously appealed to a much younger crowd. We really wish we had attended only the last two hours.

Beautiful Venue, not a bad seat in the house! The parking was great! All the meet and greets were excellent...even tho I only got around to one of them! It felt like a little concert festival!

Amazing show! Willie stole it! Brenda says thanks for the headband-Rich, not a word!! Jamey-Awesome as always but shook my fist at him (jokingly) cause he didn't play redneck side of me. Randy-"Beer"-great song! Lee-Brenda says thanks for the guitar pick! Lukas rocked the house went from playin with his teeth to playin with his dad (Willie Nelson), thanks Lukas for signin my hat, and of course Drake White! Hope your pops didnt get lost on the way to Texas hahaha! And who was that beautiful blonde girl named "danny" playing and singin? Awesome venue! Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed willies throwdown concert Jamey Johnson was awesome.. Lee Brice and Randy houser and of course the legendry Willie Nelson were really good also but my favoriate was when Jamey Johnson brought that little girl in stAge to sign with him... Great concert would deffinetly Recommend....

For the most part we enjoyed the concert .Long wait to see Willie but well worth it . Very hot in the sun

Although we love the Ironstone Amphitheater venue, this concert was not our favorite. After listening to band after band and waiting what seemed to be forever for Willie Nelson to come on stage, we were disappointed that Willie only played for less than an hour. Also, by the time he came on stage at 9:50 pm we noticed that many people had packed up and left - presumably because of the time. We thought that the concert could have been shortened by a couple of hours especially if Willie Nelson was only going to be onstage for an hour. The other bands were good - we especially liked Jamie Johnson - but all in all it was too long (approx. 6 hrs.) in the hot sun.

Willie Nelson was a bit disappointing but we went mostly to see Jamey Johnson who turned in an enjoyable performance. Gotta love the venue at Ironstone Vineyard.

Enjoyed the whole event. Loved the amphitheater and the surrounding area.

Great night! Came early to hear all the sets. Hearing all the young new artists was awesome. When Willie came on at 10:00, he was great! Liked Lukas playing along side with Dad.

The best show we have seen in years. Ironstone Vineyard was awesome. We will see everyshow we can at this venue. Willie Nelson 78 years old and still puts on the show he did 25 years ago. Go Willie.

I WAS THERE FOR MOST OF THE DAY AND HAD A GREAT TIME/THE OUT SIDE SHOW WAS ALOT OF FUN I WAS ABLE TO HEAR SOME NEW MUSIC AND MEET AND GREET LUCAS NELSON AND RANDY HOUSER/ THEN I WENT INTO THE MAIN HALL TO SEE THE SHOW. I FELT LIKE IT WAS A SAMPLE MUSIC SHOW --YOU HEARD SO MUCH MUSIC IN SUCH A SHORT SET /////EACH SINGER WAS GIEVEN 1 HR AND THEY WHERE ALL THE BEST FROM RANDY HOSER TO JAMIE JOHNSON AND THE TO THE GREAT WILLIE NELSON. I HOPE WILLIE DOES THIS AGAIN BECASE I FELT THIS IS WHAT COUNTRY MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT NO GLIZ NO POP JUST DOWN HOME REAL COUNTRY MUSIC.

Whoever was responsible for the volume of the concert inside did a terrible job. I know concerts are normally loud. But the sound was so very loud, the voices were distorted and you could not distinguish what they were singing. The lead guitar and drums were almost painful. It became unbearable especially when Jamey Johnson came on. . . by that time the volume was deafening. I had to get up and leave for the last 4 songs, because I found it painful. Finally, when Willie Nelson came on, they seemed to have lowered the volume some. I truly enjoyed Willie Nelson. . . . he is definitely a legend and I am glad that I went because of him. I was surprised to see how the younger groups music was more Rock and Blues slanted. If the volume were not so loud. . . I would have really enjoyed this concert. Please turn down the VOLUME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a father and daughter outing. My father, sister and I had a great time.

THIS CONCERT WAS SOOOOO AMAZING! THANK YOU CBA!!!! PLEASE BRING MORE CONCERTS LIKE THIS TO YOUR ARENA!

A very long day and evening. By the time Willie played I was worn out.

The show was really good. My favorites were Willy of course---he still has it. And Jamey Johnson. I liked the songwriter group singing while they changed the band sets. They were good and the time passed quickly

First, I love Willie Nelson but there was so much information that was not provided to us like that Willie would not be on until 10:00 that night. We got there at 3:00 and they didn't even let us in until 5:00 to the arena. When the music finally started, it was so loud we could not stand it without earplugs. In a different setting, this might have been a great concert. I gave it 3 stars because of the setting, the misinformation and the loudness. As for watching Willie, even for only that hour, priceless
