Does Kenny Chesney plus Keith Urban equal a good time? Or, put another way, is bigger better? I'm going to go with no.

Now that tickets for their stadium shows are going on sale, I can't help but long for the days when the big guys toured separately. I know, I know. It'll be a day packed with the best country music. It'll have a very Jimmy Buffett-like vibe. People will have the time of their lives -- in theory, anyway.

But what about the girl who could only afford a seat in section 427 at Chicago's Soldier Field? Will she have the time of her life? Or will she be bummed that she spent about $70 to see Chesney or Urban live and now they're about 400 feet away? For that Chicago show, there will be about 50,000 seats. Five levels of seating. Some great, some mediocre and some just plain awful. It's definitely not a there's-no-such-thing-as-a-bad-seat venue.

Add the competitive nature of ticket gathering, and it gets even worse. Ticketmaster will basically be pitting thousands of diehard Chesney fans against thousands of diehard Urban fans. That's a lot of passionate fans. Not to mention all the Gary Allan, LeAnn Rimes and Luke Bryan lovers who will be vying for seats in this rivalry as well. It will only add fuel to the ticket broker fire, but that's another blog altogether.

I've blogged before about having a bad case of Frontrowitis, so maybe those of us with an aversion to rows 2-198 will be the only ones who think this double bill is a bad idea. The other 49,000 people there will love every minute, because from the artist's perspective, bigger may very well be better. If I put myself in their cowboy boots, maybe Chesney and Urban thrive on these over-the-top crowds. Maybe there's some kind of magic that happens when they look out and see how many people came to watch them. That ego boost might make them play harder, sing better and make the set list longer, making that girl in section 427 think it was worth every penny.
