    Very easy to use

    This app is much easier to use than other ticket apps I wish we could download sales history and I also wish for buyer to have better ‘view from the seat’ (row 2 v row 30 should look different).

    This App works

    Great UI I can search though all the options and make the best choice of view and values The best way to search is to “include fees” to avoid any sticker shock at checkout.

    TCU Frogs 💜

    We had the best club seats for the TCU and Michigan game New Years Eve. The view was exactly like what we saw when we looked on Seat Geek. The app made the process easy. We’d use Seat Geek again.

    I’ve been using SeatGeek for a while now and every concert I’ve purchased has been cheaper than normal pricing! Glad the PDS recommended this app to me!

    Simple and easy way to buy tickets

    One of the best apps for resale tickets. Clean and simple design that’s easy to find the best deal for your event. Love using it for MLB games as they are the official marketplace.

About CMA Music Festival Tickets

Since its inception in 1972 as Fan Fair, CMA Music Festival has grown into the longest-running and most celebrated country music festival in the world, now drawing nearly 95,000 fans daily to downtown Nashville. Originally held at the State Fairgrounds, it moved downtown in 2001 to venues like Nissan Stadium, Bridgestone Plaza and the Music City Center, expanding from a weekend autograph event to a four-day musical takeover of the city.

The 53rd CMA Fest, set for June 4–7, 2026, will feature hundreds of performances across multiple stages, including headline nightly shows at Nissan Stadium that will be broadcast in a primetime special on ABC and streaming on Hulu. Fan Fair X returns inside the Music City Center with autograph sessions, meet-and-greets, artist collaborations and interactive experiences. This year brings new innovations like a Fan Alley pop-up zone, virtual reality concerts and curated artisanal food trails showcasing local cuisine—from moonshine infusions to pitmaster BBQ—as festival activations evolve to include more immersive, lifestyle-driven elements.

CMA Fest continues its long-standing commitment to giving back: proceeds support the CMA Foundation, which champions music education and channels donations through initiatives such as Carly Pearce’s wardrobe-auction “Carly’s Closet,” Fan Fair X archive sales, Fitness at Fest workouts and “Musically Fed” food recovery programs benefiting local Nashville charities. These efforts underscore the event’s mission to blend entertainment with impact and enrich the broader community.

For fans planning their experience, ticket packages—including single-day, four-day, premium hospitality and presale access—go live June 26, 2025, via Ticketmaster . The newly launched CMA Connect app will offer real-time schedules, exclusive offers like SoFi lounge access and push notifications to help attendees navigate multiple simultaneous performances and activities. With its combination of star-studded performances, innovative tech, community vision, and philanthropic initiatives, CMA Fest 2026 is poised to deliver a deeper and more immersive celebration of country music than ever before.
