From a press release:

It was announced today that multi-platinum country singer/songwriter Cole Swindell will bring his Reason to Drink Tour with special guests Chris Janson and Lauren Alaina to the Giant Center in Hershey on Friday, March 2, 2018 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets, which are $29.75 and $49.75, plus fees, go on sale this Friday, Dec. 1 at noon and will be available at the Giant Center box office (550 Hersheypark Dr., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3911 or 800-745-3000.

In just over three years since he made his debut on Warner Bros. Records, Cole Swindell has racked up an impressive and incomparable record-breaking seven No. 1 singles (the only solo artist in the history of the Country Aircheck/Mediabase to top the charts with first seven singles), 10 No. 1 singles as a songwriter, a one billion audience reaching single (“You Should Be Here”), five platinum singles, one gold single, a platinum-certified debut album, a gold-certified sophomore album (“You Should Be Here”), as well as numerous songwriting honors and awards, including being the reigning NSAI Songwriter/Artist of the Year (2016), winning two CMA Triple Play Awards in both 2015 and 2016 (for penning three No. 1 songs in a 12-month span), and Music Row’s Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year during his debut (2015).

This year, Swindell has performed his seventh career No. 1 single “Flatliner,” which features his mentor/friend and 2017 What the Hell World Tour mate Dierks Bentley, on the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards telecast live on CBS and again this summer for the “CMA Fest” special that aired this summer on ABC Television.

Since launching his career in 2014, Swindell has toured with the biggest superstars in country music, including Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, and Dierks Bentley. He has sold out his previous three Down Home Tours and is embarking in January on his fourth Down Home Tour in support of his “Down Home Sessions IV” EP, which was released on Nov. 24.

The wristband policy will be in effect for this event. Fans are permitted on the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex property beginning at 7 a.m. on Dec. 1. Two hours prior to the on-sale, fans will be directed in front of Giant Center box office, where they will be issued a numbered wristband. Wristbands are available for one hour and, at the conclusion of that hour, a selected fan will randomly choose a wristband that will determine the line order.
