The six thousand production hold seats sold out in only minutes

Garth Brooks has set the concert ticket sales record at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN. The six thousand production hold seats put on sale Friday, October 25th sold in minutes.

Over 75,000 tickets have been sold. Projections show it may be over 80,000 by show day.

“When you’re dealing with a stadium of this size, everything is bigger,” Brooks shares. “The numbers are bigger, the production holds are bigger. The number of people who showed up today was bigger. I can only hope this means the fun in this stadium is going to be bigger than I can imagine!”

The concert will be Saturday, November 16th at 7 pm with Jon Pardi opening the show.

Brooks broke the internet, literally, when the initial round of tickets went on sale in September, freezing Ticketmaster’s systems. Moving at over one thousand tickets a minute, the Garth Brooks Stadium Tour ticket on sale for Knoxville, TN came to a halt when the system could not open tickets fast enough to keep up with the demand.

Since The Garth Brooks Stadium Tour launch in March 2019, Brooks has broken stadium attendance records in St. Louis, MO at The Dome at America’s Center, Glendale, AZ at State Farm Stadium, Gainesville, FL at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, two sold out nights at Minneapolis, MN’s U.S. Bank Stadium, Denver, CO at Mile High Stadium, Eugene, OR at Autzen Stadium and two sold out nights at Boise, ID’s Albertsons Stadium shows, both of which sold out in under an hour. The next stop will be Regina, SK’s Mosaic Stadium show on August 10th that also sold out in under a hour, averaging just over 75,000 tickets in each city. Brooks added a second date in Regina, SK on August 9th due to demand. He hosted record-breaking numbers in Boise, ID with 86,000 in attendance for two back to back shows, with special guest Blake Shelton tagging along for the first night to perform their new single “Dive Bar” which was recorded and filmed.

The single has inspired the Dive Bar Tour where Brooks is playing at smaller venues in between stadium tour stops. He has teamed up with Seagram’s 7 to perform at seven dive bars across the States, including Joe’s on Weed St in Chicago in July and Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield in August, Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, TX in September, The Barn in Sanford, FL this week. The fifth Dive Bar concert stop is set for The Dusty Armadillo in Rootstown, OH on Monday, October 28th. Admission is only available through country radio for these special dates.

Brooks has joined Seagram’s 7 to declare this the summer of Dive Bars with the pair pledging to #JoinThePact to help make our roads safer for everyone by never driving impaired. Together, Brooks and Seagram’s 7 have committed to securing 700,000 pledges this summer from dive bar patrons across the country at jointhepact.com.
