Garth had some interesting stuff to say about technology during our sessions at GRS. He talked about internet pre-sales, and how he wished those kinds of things had been available to him when he was touring.
However... what I'm hearing about how tickets for this Kansas City show will be sold makes me wonder if we need to buy his Garthness a calendar.
Remember how, in 1998, we'd go to the ticketmaster outlet and get a numbered wristband? And then they'd draw a number, and THAT was the start of the line? Must be present to win, must have cash in hand.
Yeah. That's how people in Kansas City are going to be spending their Saturday morning. Then they can spend Saturday night taking advantage of the rest of the world on ebay.

StubHub.com has 2 tickets on "sale" for nearly$3,000.
AND they are the furthest point from the stage.
If he is going to do this, he should add a 2nd show and sell just those tickets online. There are thousands of fans who would fly-in for the concert. He is very concerned about helping ordinary Americans. He would be personally boosting the Kansas City economy, thus satisfying his fans and values.
Some one needs to kick him into the 21st century LOL
Maybe this is his way of trying to make it "fair"... Grrr....
I vote for anonymous's plan.
ugh
I vote for anonymous plan too...
Sometimes it is the Garth fans that buy extra tickets and then sell to the highest bidder. They feel like they can pay for their own expenses that way. I won't tell you what I think about that because it is not fit to print.

sounds like it's one more thing Garth is acting like a dinosaur on- first the non embrace of music's 'digital' age, and now an antiquated system for tickets.. uggh.
From Ticketmaster.com:
Sales to Garth Brooks' November 14th performance at the Sprint Center in Kansas City will be restricted to residents of Missouri and Kansas, and portions of Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Orders by residents outside specified areas will be canceled without notice and refunds given.
In the event that exceptional ticket demand warrants the scheduling of additional Kansas City concert performances, additional regions and states will be opened for ticket sales.
I'm so glad I live within those 5 states and that they will actually be available online!
