Unfortunately no airlines at my city has direct flight to Nashville they all stop at ATL first
Don't you live in Florida? I used to live in Orlando and there was an airline called Allegiant that had really cheap direct flights to various large cities. I used to fly from Orlando to KY or TN for like $100 or less all the time. I live in KY now and usually Nashville is the cheapest airport to fly out of around here. I have to drive 3 hours to the Nasvhille airport anytime I fly anywhere because it's like half the price of flying out of Louisville or Cinicinnati.

They don’t have that airline at Miami’s airport :/
Orlando is a bit too far and they don’t fly out to Nashville but to Knoxville.

It’s possible the price will drop???? Tickets went up $40 from two days ago. Can’t imagine a week from now. I wish the official announcement, venue and important information will be out already!! I will like to know all this stuff before buying a plane ticket. /:

Well you look at that... It went back down $40 bucks again haha!!

It’s like the stock market.

Ill just wait til whenever to buy a plane ticket. Still have plenty of time. Plus I'd like to know where the event is taking place first.

If it hasn't been mentioned, yet, check Cheapoair.com. They compare all the airline prices for your trip search. And prices are always up to date and accurate with the airline's own sites.

Where does it say the 23rd on the site ?

AnkhWarrior · Post by **AnkhWarrior** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 8:43 am

That's weird.
Before it did say June 23rd 2018 on the site, through the Nashville link...

But now it just says June.

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 9:24 am

Hmm, it's been changed then. It would be good to lock it in so people can plan.

I hope they get a solid date down soon.

They should also get Michael James Jackson as a guest!

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:23 am

It did say 23rd I saw it

Have a screenshot when he first announced it and now. How weird. This is exactly why I haven’t bought my plane ticket!! I’m waiting for all the important stuff like the official announcement, venue, the ACTUAL date, ect.

HotVinnie · Post by **HotVinnie** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:47 am

When I bought the VIP ticket, my confirmation email had those dates.

VIP Meet and Greet - June 22nd
Nashville KISS expo - June 23rd

AnkhWarrior · Post by **AnkhWarrior** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:56 am

Getting used to things not going according to plan lol or constantly changing.
Date probably changed due to having issues with finding a place to host the Expo. Who knows.

doublev2 · Post by **doublev2** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:32 pm

Ohh its interesting you can buy tickets before a venue hired out. Seems to work out though.

HotVinnie · Post by **HotVinnie** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:39 pm

I have done two expos with Derek. Nashville will be my third so like I’m already used to all the madness lol. I got to meet Vinnie on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. He remembered me everytime he saw me and I could’ve not been any happier. Everybody was mad how it ran but I didn’t really give a fuck because luckily for ME everything actually ran smoothly. (;

I’m just anxious about the venue, official announcement and etc because I need to plan according and adjust budget. I have other KISS related events that needs my $$ too lol.

Post by **Genebaby** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:44 pm

A lot of people are in the same boat. Knowing the actual date and venue will help everyone plan their attendance, so the sooner, the better.

We thought we had the date pinned down, but that is now up in the air, so I'm keen to find out a date that is locked in and see how that affects things.

AnkhWarrior · Post by **AnkhWarrior** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:50 pm

Wasn't upset by how it was ran. Had all day lol.

Although for V.I.P purchasers, we were supposed to receive a group shot with VV; which didn't happen. If you pay for something, you should receive it.

As long as it remains in June, I'm good. Plenty of time for saving.
Hopefully this venue is within the hotel to avoid having to travel between a hotel and the venue.

Invader · Post by **Invader** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 9:54 pm

I am there, if Vinnie is there. I want to meet hot females at this event as well. I am sure it is packed with some hot hot new lady friends of mine.

There can only be one man with that type of attitude here...there only is one

There actually were a lot of hot girls at the expo in Atlanta. 90% of them were with their boyfriends though.

AnkhWarrior · Post by **AnkhWarrior** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 2:29 am

There was only one hot mofo I seen the whole time I was there.
Should have brought more panties...way too much excitement!

Nashville has a "NO PANTIES" policy.

Yeah no group photo for Friday or Sunday. Which was alright for me! Didn’t really care about it so much! I rather have my 4 one on one pics with Vinnie haha (; . All I care about from Atlanta now is the mini guitars!! I gotten one email about it which was like 2 weeks ago lol.

Still though, don't include something with a package that we won't be receiving. That itself is deceiving.
And yeah, was supposed to get credited back the amount for the mini guitar til it has been shipped. Still hasn't happened and no other word about it.

AnkhWarrior · Post by **AnkhWarrior** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 4:46 pm

Okay, whoa, what the hell?

I just got refunded the $300 for the Nashville Expo VIP. Derek said nothing about this. What's going on...?

Post by **Genebaby** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 5:25 pm

Hmmmm, curiouser and curiouser.

An official announcement would be a good thing.

Super glad I didn't manage to get an early VIP and then book my flights, I'd be very unhappy if that had happened.

It seems they announced too early and now things will change.

Nashville needs it's own site now, not a link on the Atlanta page.

I hope they do that soon too, along with updated information.

RIGHT. Now I am worried.

No announcement was made about this whatsoever. Someone else from FB said they haven't been refunded anything yet. Either this is a severely screwered up glitch or a refund is being given for whatever reason...
Even though we should have been told.

People who purchased the mini guitars were supposed to be temporarily credited back the money for it til it was shipped out...which still hasn't happened.

It may be because dates have changed since the June 22nd and 23rd are gone, now it's just June. Still doesn't make sense to refund a ticket purchase over that.
Hopefully this is addressed asap. Already emailed, messaged Derek.

poserboy71 · Post by **poserboy71** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 5:48 pm

EVERYONE PLEASE CALM DOWN.
The Nashville Vinnie-Con is still taking place. Please trust me on this.
I can but I will not elaborate because it isn't my place to. PLEASE DO NOT SPECULATE ANY FURTHER.
Derek will make good on things from Atlanta.
I am merely putting the water on the matchstick before a huge fire occurs.

I AM NOT TRYING TO BE AN ELITIST HERE.

Oh I know the event will still be taking place.

Just a surprise refund with no reason beforehand is surprising lol will wait for Derek.

In the NYC KISS Expo with Peter we were promised a Q&A and when I got there I heard it was cancelled plus also it was for sure over 100 people that did the M&G and the line was horrible lol. I had to tell Derek I couldn’t wait any longer and I’ll come back Saturday (the day of the actual expo). Which I did and I was the first one to see Peter. But no Q&A sucked. This is why now for Vinnie they put a limit for 100 people (Wished they did that for NY)

HotVinnie · Post by **HotVinnie** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 11:20 pm

Just checked my bank account. And I received no refund from the Nashville Expo or the mini guitars hmmm.

I guess Derek knew whatever changes he’ll make for the expo I was gonna be there regardless haha idk :p

Was told by another VIP buyer that they were refunded as well.
