Nashville, TN (March 25, 2013) – George Jones’ final Nashville concert, to be held on Friday, November 22, 2013 at Bridgestone Arena, has SOLD OUT with over 15,000 people planning to attend. Today, a VIP Experience including a special George Jones autographed item and the chance to meet ‘the possum’ backstage is available exclusively through GeorgeJones.com. The VIP Experience is being offered for $1000.00 each and only 100 VIP tickets are available (first come, first served).“We are so excited for this show and for all the artists that are going to be taking part,” says Nancy Jones. “George and I were shocked at how fast the tickets sold and the prices people are being asked to pay online for broker tickets. In an effort to keep the prices reasonable for fans, we decided to offer a VIP Experience which includes a backstage meet and greet with George.”

George Jones, often referred to as the “the greatest living country singer” will mark the end of an era with 2013’s farewell tour titled “The Grand Tour”. The tour is expected to make approximately 60 stops this year. “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair”, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes”, “White Lightning” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” will surely be part of each night’s set list, along with plenty of guests and surprises.
