    Most Intuitive App

    This is best app i’ve used to purchase tickets, hands down! I purchase a ton of tickets to live events, and i’ve only had the best experiences using SeatGeek. The deal score feature is incredible and I especially like that you have seat views within the app! Real simple to use!

    SeatGeek Lifer! 🙌🏽

    Seat Geek is surprisingly really good. I’ve used a few of the other ticket apps and they are expensive and charge pretty high fees. The app is super easy to use and works well at the ticket line getting in places. I haven’t had any troubles at all and I’ve been to 10 events using seat geek with my girlfriend. Big Fan!!

    Best App to Shop!

    After this app was pushed and shoved to my face by every influencer and public figure I finally budged! And I regret not doing so sooner! Thank you TRISHA PAYTAS! This really is the best app to shop concerts and events! I’ve gone to 5 different concerts this year all thanks to seat geek! I’ve been able to get floor or front row tickets for mayor concerts like Olivia Rodrigo, Nicki Minaj, Gloria Trevi, the Cancrlled pod! And more, I’m looking forward to buying more tickets and having lots of fun with seat geek!!!

    It’s my go to

    There is a reason why so many YouTubers promote this app. It’s so quality and truly does find the best deals and seating every where. Also, it simply finds events that are poorly advertised else where. If it not been for seat geek I would not of known AEW was in my area soon. One thing I’d like to suggest is maybe have a feature where users can select interests and be notified when said interests are within a 50 mile radius. That would be a cool feature

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.
