carrie Under wood is my favorite singer i like him and i have many songs of carrie Underwood when i want to get carrie underwood ticket for the show i buy it from TicketDove.com because this site give me very cheap rates tickets.
Got a ticket near the stage for The Albert Hall, London on June 21st. Can't wait! Sold out in 90 minutes!! Hope this encourages more of the top US country artists to come over, and for those who have already played here to come back. What about a mega UK concert with Carrie, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum and many more??? Come on US country, bring more of your best to us in the UK.
p.s. Really hope Carrie sings 'I know you won't' at the Albert Hall. That would be so amazing to hear at such a great venue. So if anyone from Carrie's production team is reading this... please, please, please have 'I know you won't on the playlist.
i'd love to see you live in australia but you aren't coming to perth! No one famous ever comes to perth
Ahhh lol so unlucky. I love Carrie Underwood and would have loved to have seen her live but you wouldn't believe it I miss both London and Australian tours. I'm flying to london on the 23rd of June. I couldn't make the flight earlier because of Uni exams and now I end up leaving too late for the London concert and too early for the Australian ones Ahh. Anyway I hope heaps of people go because it is going to be awesome. I am so jealous.
can't wait to get my tickets, but the links don't seem to be working
