Alabama

Friday, June 25

Alabama’s Staying Power

With 58 million in worldwide sales, Alabama is the longest-lasting hit-maker on the country music scene. The ninth biggest selling group of all time, Alabama has outsold rock legends such as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Queen, Pink Floyd and The Who.

The numbers say it all: 19 million albums sold worldwide, 12 American Music Awards earned in the Favorite Country Group category and 32 Billboard No. 1 hits. Alabama has sold more concert tickets than any country band in history and has racked up more than 200 major music industry awards. Only the legendary Conway Twitty has more No. 1 records.

True to their down-home values, Alabama takes their role-model status to heart. Their music is well known for recurring themes of fidelity, commitment and enduring love. Drinking, cheating and sinning are noticeably absent, even furthering the group’s appeal as gentile rockers.

ALABAMA PRE-SHOW DINNER

On Friday, June 25 at 8PM Alabama will make a tour stop in Austin to say goodbye after 24 long years of country hits. The Frank Erwin Center would like to help you bid these country legends farewell in style by inviting you and your friends to an exclusive VIP dinner before the concert.

Two hours before Alabama takes the stage we will open our doors to our dinner guests for a night they won’t forget. From 6PM-8PM in the newly rennovated Lone Star Room guests will have access to a delicious buffet-style dinner, a cash bar and a friendly staff waiting to serve you. And there will be no waiting in lines or searching for parking as we will mail you in advance your tickets along with a parking pass.

So order a VIP package, and enjoy a night of convenience and luxury. VIP Packages for Alabama are $78 per person and include a concert ticket, dinner ticket, parking in University of Texas Trinity parking garage (subject to space availability) and entrance through Red River doors.
