Since you have reserved tickets you can get there by 10:00 and still be fine. But, since it's your first time I'd recommend getting there around 9:00. That'll give you a good hour to roam around and see all the carnival greatness that is Billy Bob's.

I'd also recommend making reservations at a place like H3 or Riscky's Steakhouse if you want a nice meal before hand. Make them for 7:30 or 8:00 and you'll be fine. Cattleman's also takes reservations I believe but I've never been.

If you really want to do it right there's Lonesome Dove but it's pricey.

Dos Gringo's is also a decent option. Cooper's is also right across the street.

I don't know if I will ever attend Billy Bob's again.

I don't understand the fact that you have to pay extra to get up close to the stage, and then you have to sit at the tables. If I'm at a concert, I want to be standing and be able to dance.

I like it as a nice change to be able to sit and watch the show....and its typically just $3-$5 more to sit in reserved depending on who is playing.

I love Aaron's shows...sad I'm having to miss him for the first time in years

I agree '08. I've been to BB once and i think its the last time as well due to the seating.

The sitting is nice and all with a reserved area, but from my experience, the crowd doesn't get into the music and thats what makes concerts so fun!

If Aaron Watson wouldnt talk so damn much during his shows, he would be alot better. I mean it takes him 3 hours to play 10 songs.

Going to BB is more like a pilgrimage than anything else. Sorta like seeing the Statue of Liberty. You go just to say you have gone.

I have been to Billy Bob's many times in my life and each time was fun.

I took my sister to see the Bellamy Brothers at BB last March and we had a blast(I won the tickets from 92.1). If you have reserved seats they will escort you down to your seats and there are bars and bathrooms on either side of the stage. You will also have a waitress taking care of you. You should have a great time.

Really?...There's a dance floor. At every concert I've been to at Billy Bobs people stand up out of their chairs and dance and scream like any other concert. You can sit if you're tired or drunk or whatever. I saw Luke Bryan there this last summer and it was a GREAT show, nothing to complain about. The crowd was into it and he was great, throwing picks and signing napkins while singing.
TexAgs is never pleased, huh?

And yeah, sometimes the reserved seating can be $10 more for bigger names, but it's worth it. Jerrod Niemann and Aaron Watson only charge 4 bucks more for the reserved seating.

While I think he put on a great show, good god, he talks way too much. you hit it on the head. He talks he talks and he talks.

The last time I saw a show at BB, I had reserved seating and was seated directly behind a huge pole that blocked 75% of the stage. The place was packed and was told there weren't any other avilable seats.
