The Country Music Association announced that the fan favorite photo lines at Nissan Stadium and the Riverfront Stage will not be operating during the 2018 CMA Music Festival due to safety concerns. The CMA announced this stunning change in their CMA Country Connection email newsletter and also posted the information on the CMA Fest FAQ page available here.
The announcement reads, "While exclusive fan opportunities continue to make CMA Fest a special experience for all, photo lines will not be available due to increased safety measures."
This is certainly a disappointment for many fans that continually rotated through the line all night long. Especially those that intentionally purchased nosebleed seats with no intention of ever sitting in them, while opting to use the photo line all night.
