Alpharetta dates added after Eagles concert sales soar
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Eagles are flying high in Alpharetta.
Huge demand for tickets to see the classic rock band caused promoters to add two more shows at Alpharetta’s soon-to-open outdoor theater.
With tickets to the May 14 show at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at Encore Park being quickly snapped up Friday, promoters added weekend shows on May 16 and 17.
According to a search Monday afternoon on www.ticketmaster.com, no tickets are available for any of the shows. Tickets have been selling for between $65 and $185 each.
Encore Park is a 12,000-seat open-air concert venue scheduled to open in May. The $35 million facility was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to attract concertgoers outside the Perimeter.
General lawn seating and reserved seating are available.
Four-person group tables began being sold to season ticket holders last summer for upwards of $20,000 for the 40 different acts to appear this spring and summer.

“Rhythm Nation” 2008?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the Super Bowl still fresh on many minds, it’s hard not to talk Ggggg…Janet Jackson.
Yep, we’re back on the part-time Atlantan as what is believed to be the cover of her Feb. 26 CD “Discipline” (above) has been made available.
Look like she’s going for an updated version of “Rhythm Nation” to you? Is it really feeling like there’s a Janet Jackson album only weeks away? Or do you think her two previous duds (“Damita Jo” and “”) - plus radio’s slow reception to first single “Feedback” - has simply weakened interest?
