Tune in to the 46th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 8:00PM ET on the ABC Television Network.

We do our best to ensure that things as hard as possible for scalpers to get tickets. Those tactics are varied based on limitations of the venues and ticketing companies that we are required to use to play a show in any given city. At the end of the day, our goal is always to get fairly priced tickets into the hands of actual fans, and not make money for sites that purchase our tickets and re-sell them to our fans at exorbitant prices. Rest assured, we are even more frustrated by these scalpers than you are, especially as they continually misrepresent themselves to you, our fans! We diligently work to make sure that there are great seats available for our JasonAldean.com pre-sales as well as great seats available for our public on-sales.

We hope the scalper site frustrations you have experienced do not hinder your resolve to see Jason live in concert, and that if anything, they prompt you to be diligent about using only the sites to which we at JasonAldean.com direct you. That is the surest way we can fight these scalpers together. We do appreciate you joining us in the fight. After all, the reason we do all of this is for you, the best fans in the world!

Jason’s nominated in the following categories at the American Country Awards:

• Artist of the Year
• Artist of the Year: Male
• Single of the Year: “Tattoos On This Town”
• Single of the Year Male: “Tattoos On This Town”
• Touring Artist of the Year
• Song of the Year: “Fly Over States”
• Song of the Year: “Tattoos On This Town”

You can vote for your favorites once a day until November 12, 2012, in all categories. However, there’s one big exception to that: the ARTIST OF THE YEAR category will remain open until December 7th – two days before the show airs live from The Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Monday, Dec., 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Cast your votes here.

A capacity crowd of over 20,000 packed the Gexa Energy Pavilion for the final date of the record-breaking 2012 MY KINDA PARTY TOUR presented by State Farm®. Special thanks goes out to the Aldean Army for helping us raise more funding for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® than ever before.

Jason is the first county artist to headline Fenway, and the July 13, 2013 show will also feature special guests Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett.   

“When we started talking about playing stadiums, my only request was to play venues that were special and really meant something to me,” explains Aldean. “At 100 years old, Fenway Park is one of the most iconic baseball stadium in the country and there is absolutely nothing in the world that could be more special than selling that place out…as an entertainer and as a huge baseball fan. This has been the most unbelievable week…all I can say is THANK YOU.”

Aldean announced the date last Thursday when he jetted across the country and made surprise appearances at Fenway, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium to announce that his 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR would stop at each of the three stadiums. Fresh off a record-breaking debut of his new album NIGHT TRAIN which sold 409,303 copies its first week, the next stops on the NIGHT TRAIN include Aldean’s annual “Concert For the Cure” to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Oct. 27 and the 2012 Country Music Association Awards on Nov. 1, where he is nominated for “Entertainer of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Single of the Year.”

For a full list of appearances and more information on NIGHT TRAIN, click here.

After selling out his 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR stop at Boston’s Fenway Park in just seven minutes this morning, Jason has announced that a second show has been added to the calendar for Friday, July 12, 2013. The show will also feature special guests Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett. Jason Aldean is the first country artist to ever headline the iconic ballpark.

Presale tickets are available to Aldean’s fan club next Tuesday Oct. 30, Red Sox season ticket holders on Wed., Oct. 31 and through WKLB on Thurs., Nov. 1. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Fri., Nov. 2 at 10am ET and can be purchased at the Orpheum Theater box office, LiveNation.com or by calling 1-800-514-3849. Tickets will not be available at the Red Sox ticket office.

Jason announced the first 2013 dates last Thursday when he jetted across the country and made surprise appearances at Fenway, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium to announce that his 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR would stop at each of the three stadiums. Fresh off a record-breaking debut of his new album NIGHT TRAIN which sold 409,303 copies its first week, the next stops on the NIGHT TRAIN include Aldean’s annual “Concert For the Cure” to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Oct. 27 and the 2012 Country Music Association Awards on Nov. 1, where he is nominated for “Entertainer of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Single of the Year.”

This marks the second-highest debut in all genres of music this year and the highest in country since 2010. The total more than doubles the first week sales of Jason’s previous album, the Triple Platinum MY KINDA PARTY.

“This past week was beyond anything I ever expected,” said Jason. “The ‘Night Train’ has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making tv appearances and stadium announcements all over the country, fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline…so many fans jumped on board with us, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I’m really looking forward to finishing out the tour this weekend and getting back to Nashville for the CMAs next week.”

In an industry where artists are rarely able to attain both commercial success and critical acclaim, Aldean is bucking the trend as reviews roll in for the chart-topping disc.

Entertainment Weekly awards the album an A- and calls Aldean’s delivery “EPIC.”

“No one else in country music is creating music that sounds anything like these songs. That distinct quality runs like a high-watt third rail through “Night Train” — and explains why Aldean has electrified the American heartland with his music.”
Associated Press

“Country cowboy or big time rocker? Aldean walks the line brilliantly on his fifth album.”
Parade

“A selection of well-chosen songs…done extravagantly well”
Washington Post

Last Thursday, Jason spent the day jetting across the country to make surprise appearances at Boston’s Fenway Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium to reveal that his 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR will play at each of the stadiums next year. The next stops on the NIGHT TRAIN include Aldean’s annual “Concert For the Cure” to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Oct. 27 and the 2012 Country Music Association Awards on Nov. 1, where he is nominated for “Entertainer of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Single of the Year.”

If you haven’t picked up your copy of Night Train yet, you can get it here.

Jason Aldean is our kind of country superstar: a deft, hyper-talented everydude happy to flaunt his mastery of everything from anthemic pop to snarling hard rock to (yes!) hip-hop. His fifth album, Night Train, is out this week, and we like it a whole hell of a lot. You can hear it below, and then feast on all the other rad stuff we’ve prepared for you: a career-spanning greatest-hits playlist, a celebration of the biggest influences on his 2010 smash, My Kinda Party (Ludacris!), a tribute to his fellow 2012 CMA Award nominees, and a special Rhapsody playlist of Jason’s own favorite songs (Big & Rich!). Have a good time.
