Garth Brooks broke records in Detroit when he sold out Ford Field -- 70,000 tickets -- in only 90 minutes.
But were they really sold out??? Not so fast.
His tour announced in a shocker on Friday morning they were "able to find seats that were previously unable to be sold" and they'll be available starting at 11 a.m.
Buy tickets at www.ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks or by calling 1-877-654-2784 or by using the Ticketmaster app on your mobile device. Happy hunting!
The concert will be held Saturday, February 22nd, 2020, at 7 p.m. This will be Garth's first time ever playing at Ford Field and the only Michigan stop on The Stadium Tour!
Garth broke onto the scene more than 20 years ago and is still going strong. In fact, he just won CMA Entertainer of the Year for a seventh time, a first for any artist.
This is also the second time this year Garth has made a splash in metro Detroit. This summer, he showed up as a surprise guest at WYCD's Hoedown and did a medley of his favorite hits. See a gallery of his appearance HERE.
He told the Detroit crowd he was there because, "I was lucky enough to play this gig 30 years ago, so I just wanted to come out and say thank God and thank you guys for the ride of my life ... "So I just came her to say, in those 30 years, I can't thank you guys enough for what a wonderful ride. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the Hoedown. God bless you guys, and I love Detroit!"
If you're lucky enough to get tickets, here are the rules of the show, and the best ways to get around.
