Country Artist's Fan Clubs

To join or not to join? It's up to you to decide. Some fan clubs include VIP tickets and 1 meet & greet per year. Some have no VIP tickets, but offer several meet & greets. Some are online only, while others send out newsletters to you via postal mail. Check out my Fan Club Listing for many of the most popular country artists.

Besides the perks of information on your favorite artist, many stars include invitations to members to their Fan Club parties, which are held during the CMA Music Festival each year. Check with your favorite star to see if this is a benefit of their Fan Club. In 2003, Rascal Flatts taped their Fan Club party and broadcast it on their website for fans that couldn't make it to view. Most artists will start announcing their Fan Club Party plans as early as mid-to-late February. Most will have announced by late April, so check with the Fan Club's you are interested in and find out who will be having their party when, so you can make your plans.

Note:
In 2004, I attended two Fan Club parties and got to meet Sara Evans and Buddy Jewell, plus get my photo taken with both, and get their autograph. I have to say that if you have several stars that you really want to meet, and they have Fan Club Parties, this is the way to go. You may end up having to juggle things to make their parties, but keep your options open and you will have a great time, plus meet lots of other fans of the same star.
