It was fun seeing so many different artists perform. They all sounded great! Since it was the 'CMA Country Christmas Show', it would have been better with country performers instead of Colbie and John. We left the show early because it was too warm and the seats were uncomfortable.

This was a very fun show to attend. I love country music and Christmas so it was the perfect combination. I chose to attend this show with my daughter as her "special treat" for turning 13 this year. We drove from Pittsburgh, PA with my daughter's best friend and her mom. I was very nervous after reading reviews from the year before, but decided those issues had to have been addressed; and I was right. We were actually let in early - maybe because it had started to rain. Our seats were assigned and so, in the beginning there were no issues with being able to sit in the seats we had purchased. The show itself went very smoothly and the performances were top notch! The only down side to this show turned out to be seating issues. My seat was the very last seat in my row to the left of the stage (i.e. right beside the black curtain). At most shows I am sure it would have been a very good seat, but due to the large Christmas Trees on the stage we would have missed seeing many of the performances directly (we could see the large screen above us if we looked straight up and to our left). At about 7:30 the announcement was made to "fill in" any empty seats below where you were seated. We did move and ended up being able to see everything. However, even though it was very clear on the ticket and in an email I received that if you arrived after 7:15 you may lose your seats, as people arrived late (up to 8pm) the usher made those sitting in those seats move. This was a definite problem because the seats of those people had already been taken by others "filling in" as the announcer had asked the audience to do. I understand that would work at most shows, but when an announcement has been officially made to fill in other seats, then those who arrived late should need to sit in the empty seats that are left. This happened to four different groups within the row in front of us, our row, and the row behind us. For us this did not happen to be a problem, but I am sure there were others who did not get to enjoy the show because of this issue. I think this problem could be easily solved by making sure the ushers know before the show to enforce the instructions to be on time or lose your seats

The filming of CMA Country Christmas was a lot of fun. I enjoyed hearing so big name artists sing traditional and nontraditional Christmas music. I was not fond of the singer from Caligornia but overall it was a great experience. Jennifer Nettles was even better in person and made the taping fun and memorable. I would like to make this a yearly tradition.

We had never seen the CMA Country Christmas before 2012. It was really awesome watching all the singers come out to perform. I had been to other tapings before, but this one was really cool to see so many performers in one night. Can't wait to watch it on TV.

The show was everything I hoped for. Where else could you see so many top notch country performers all together in one show. The set was beautiful and the music of course was great. The down time between songs was minimal and entertaining. It was a family oriented event and I would recommend it to anyone. We will likely attend this event again.

In general the show was exactly what I expected and it pleased both us and our 11 & 13 year old kids. They only film the musical portions, not the interviews FYI. The 2011 reviews said there were not assigned seats, so first and foremost assigned seats were a huge improvement. That said, many ticketholders didn't seem to pay any attention to the clause about being in your seat by 7:15 & that mgmt reserved the right to fill open seats after that time. As a result, people kept coming down and complaining to the floor attendants and clogging the aisles and blocking our view which was REALLY annoying. This happened at least 5 times throughout the first 45 minutes. It would be helpful if they put more emphasis on announcing and publicizing the policy over the PA system and also prior to the seating area. Other than that item, the show met our expectations.

We enjoyed the show and seeing behind the scenes of a television
taping. We have a whole new respect for the stars, and what they go
through for those kind of things. We also appreciated that they moved
everyone in closer to allow them a better view. The Bridgestone arena
always does a good job.

I will admit that going to the CMA Country Christmas made me want to go home and put up my Christmas tree. But, I am a huge Keith Urban fan and he was the reason that I went. Keith only sung one song and didn't even have to do a re-take on it like some of the other artists. Good for Keith, but a let-down for Keith Urban fans that would have liked to see more of him. He is an awesome entertainer and I would have rather seen more of him than seeing the opera singer (can't remember her name) and the girl from California (can't remember her name either). Also, the tickets were pretty expensive and seating was kinda unfair in that everyone moved to other seats that weren't taken when it was time for the show to start. We could have bought less expensive seats and moved, but thought all seats were reserved. I will not attend next year.

My friends & I really enjoyed going to the 2012 CMA Country Christmas. The line-up was great & the program ran smoothly, having audience participation in between sets. There were some retakes, but the crowd seemed to love getting to hear some of the stars a second time. We were able to move from the 100 level to the floor because they needed people to fill-in the empty chairs, so that was a bonus! Jennifer Nettles was a great host again this year, as always. Can't wait to see it on tv on December 20th.

This was my first time attending the taping of CMA Country Christmas. I must say that the show as a whole, especially the experience of being a part of the filming of a television special, was truly unique and rewarding. So many different performers including John Legend, Keith Urban and Little Big Town made this show exceptional. The behind-the-scenes moments made this evening something I'll never forget. I will go back every year as long as Jennifer Nettles hosts. She was the highlight of the entire evening; everything from her banter with the audience to her stunning vocal performances.

This event was a tv recording which was not a concert as hoped. The artist were not interactive with the audience at all. The song performances were repeated with re-takes.
Was really disapointed in this format and will only look forward to watching it on tv next time.

This was a fun show. The artists were engaging and entertaining and the emcee did a great job of entertaining the crowd during the commercial breaks. I enjoyed hearing all the country artists singing Christmas music; it really displayed their raw talent. The best part was that they didn't sell enough seats so we were able to move to the 100 section. My only complaint is that it lasted a lot longer than I thought. The show started at 7:30 and we didn't get out until around 10:30. For some reason I thought it would only take an hour and a half or two hours. Sometimes the artists had to sing songs twice and that became repetitive, too. I think had I known this going into it, I wouldn't have been so bothered by it. Overall it was a really great show.
