Sacramento, CA

September looks to be much more exciting concert-wise than August was. The fun starts with Country in the Park on Sunday, September 9th. Country in the Park is the summer’s biggest outdoor country music festival in the area. This year, the concert will be located at Gibson Ranch Park at 8556 Gibson Ranch Road in Elverta, CA. This year there will be five performers including three different American Idol finalists. These will be Sawyer Brown and Gary Allan with finalists Bucky Covington, Kellie Pickler, and Carmen Rasmussen. The best part is that tickets are really cheap. They are only $23.00 each and children 10 and under will be admitted for free. In addition, there are a variety of discounts available if you know where to look. There are more than fifty Raley’s and Bel-Air locations that are offering coupons for $3.00 off that are good for up to six tickets. You can also purchase your tickets at Chevy’s surchagre free. Or you can purchase them at ticketmaster for $3.00 off with coupon code CITP. Finally, I believe that KNCI is still giving out free tickets as well, but you might want to call them to verify that. The concert will begin at 12:00PM and run for pretty much the entire day. Be aware that the venue does not allow you to bring video cameras, coolers, or bags into the concert. Also, be sure to visit the Dreyer’s Ice Cream booth to enter a contest to meet Sawyer Brown after the concert. As any country lover can tell you, that is definitely worth waiting in line for!

If you’re not a big country fan, perhaps you would be more interested to see Justin Timberlake at Arco Arena on September 10th. Justin has of course already performed in Sacramento this year back in January. However, due to popular demand, his 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow Tour will be returning to Sacramento. This is largely due to the fact that his last concert here was completely sold out and many fans were unable to buy tickets due to an extremely high demand. This concert will also feature Timbaland and Good Charlotte. Tickets range in price from $56.00 to $152.00. If you’re planning on going though then you better purchase your tickets soon because there aren’t really very many left. In any case, between the two concerts this looks to be a good start to the autumn concert season here in Sacramento. Enjoy…
