Event day tickets will be available at event location box offices and online for $12.50. After a December premiere held exclusively for those involved in his tour, Chesney wanted to find a way that his fans could see the movie the same way his crew and the people involved in his career did. "I did this 'premiere' as a way of having a party and inviting everyone who'd been a part of last year's tour -- which was far too many people to have in my house!" said Chesney. "But when we started looking at everyone up on the big screen, it kinda got me... all the personalities and talent that go into making something like Margaritas'n'Senoritas work. I loved letting everyone see themselves, their family or their friends like that -- and then I realized there was one group of people I really love that weren't getting to see what we saw: the fans! They're every bit as much a part of this movie, this music, these tours as we are... And I wanted them to get to see themselves up on the big screen, too, 'cause as it says at the beginning of 'Roadcase': 'This is for the fans...'." ROAD CASE: THE MOVIE gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at Chesney's 2003 Margaritas `n' Senoritas tour - that according to Pollstar was the third biggest total ticket seller of the year behind Bruce Springsteen and the Dave Mathews Band. In addition to exclusive interviews and a look at all the work and fun involved with the Margaritas `n' Senoritas tour, ROAD CASE: THE MOVIE takes you on the road, behind the scenes and offers exclusive interviews while capturing all the work required to bring the world's biggest beach party to countless fans across the country. The release of ROAD CASE: THE MOVIE DVD follows Chesney's success as the Academy of Country Music's Top Male Vocalist, #1 on Billboard's all genre Top 200 and Top Country Album debut with sales well over 550,000 in its first week.
