Kenny Chesney Broke the Internet With One-Off Show Announcement

(Radio.com) Kenny Chesney is in high demand. And understandably so. The country singer announced his only show for the year earlier last week and when his fans raced to get the tickets for Flora-Bama-Jama, they crashed the system.

Now, Chesney is working to remedy the situation for 140,000 fans. In multiple tweets and a lengthy Facebook post, Chesney explained the situation, and admitted he never anticipated 140,000 hits in less than five minutes. The traffic to the site collapsed the system and fans received conflicting responses.

"Too many RSVP messages went out. Suddenly people who thought they had wristbands were told they were on the waiting list. What could be more disappointing? And we get it.

"Anyone who received the confirmation of their wristbands on the RSVP page will receive an email tomorrow with the details of the show and where to pick up their credentials," his Facebook post confirms.

It then goes on to quote Chesney: "I never want to let my fans down. When I heard what happened, I told my team: there's got to be a solution. Let's find one.

"They've been on the phone all day, and into tonight. Working with the city, so we wouldn't have to tell people 'You can't come.'" More.
