AMP Ticket Sales Up in 2012

By: Lisa Mendenhall

Updated: May 8, 2012

This year is shaping up to be a big one for the Arkansas Music Pavilion.

According to Walton Arts Center spokesperson Beth Goodwin, ticket sales after three concerts are up from last year.

The biggest seller so far - Hank Williams, Jr.

The AMP's new location is helping, too.

Goodwin says the Washington County Fairgrounds spot is much larger, allowing room for more music fans.

The next show at the AMP is Tuesday, May 8 when Five Finger Death Punch and Trivium take the stage.
