Ticket sales hot for Florida Country Superfest

Two strong weeks for tourism in Jacksonville, last week's soccer game and this weekend's first-ever Country Superfest.

"The Welcome to Rockville that was here at the end of the April sold almost 10,000 room/nights. So I can only imagine what Florida Country Superfest will do" said Laurie Kopstad, research manager with Visit Jacksonville.

She says several of the downtown hotels are already sold out for the 2-day country concert this Saturday and Sunday. She considers it a good sign and says the goal is to generate excitement about the First coast to keep vistitors and tourists coming back.

"If they've had a good experience in our city they will definitely come back."

Tickets have been sold in every single state for the concert, including Alaska and Hawaii. Kopstad says they are also receiving lots of visitors on the website for Visit Jacksonville.

The concert includes country music's hottest starts like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Florida Georgia Line, Little Big Town, Big & Rich, Easton Corbin, Colt Ford and Joe Nichols. It will take place at Everbank Field.
