Based on the lightning-fast rate tickets were snapped up for a Garth Brooks concert scheduled April 30, Baton Rouge’s Tiger Stadium will be full with fans when the country star takes the stage.
The sold-out show will be his first visit to the city in more than two decades and the only chance for Louisiana residents to see him in their home state next year.
Brooks' promoter said the country star has sold 102,000 tickets for the Baton Rouge show as of Wednesday. If everyone shows, it would be one the top two largest crowds ever for a North American stadium show, according to Fox 8 Local. The record was set by a George Strait show in 2014 that drew 104,793 into the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex., said the outlet.
Within two hours of going on sale last Friday, 90,000 tickets had already been sold, said WBRZ. That's close to the 102,000 capacity at Tiger Stadium, an outdoor Louisiana State University facility.
Fans of Brooks in Louisiana who hoped to see him live this spring could drive down to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. for a March 26 show. In order to snag tickets for that show, people should head to Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. Friday. Tickets should be around $95 apiece.
