Or with:

, honest. But "due to demand," representatives from the ACM Awards say more seats will again become available for the Arlington show.

The newest crop of tickets cost $50 each and have a limited view of the live AT&T Stadium show on April 19. They go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 18 via Ticketmaster. (No direct link to the tickets was immediately available.)

The ACM Awards will move temporarily from Las Vegas to Arlington this year as a special way to commemorate its 50th anniversary. The show is always a who's who of country musicians, and this year's shindig goes even bigger, with hosts Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton sharing stages with Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks and many others.

The tickets going on sale this week are for the April 19 televised awards show only. (Earlier packages at higher prices had included tickets to the preceding two-day festival called Party for a Cause, which boasts a dozen or so acts per day at neighboring Globe Life Park on April 17 and 18.)

[UPDATE at 9:30 a.m. March 17: What does limited view mean? It means mezzanine and upper concourse levels on the northeast end of AT&T Stadium. If you buy these seats, you'll likely have a tough time seeing the stage.]

The academy has so far sold about 60,000 tickets to the show, according to a press release. The show airs on CBS at 7 p.m. April 19.
