How Do I Buy Garth Brooks Tickets?

Of all the phone calls I've answered over the past week, at least half included the question "How can I buy Garth Brooks Tickets", or something similar.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are coming to the Cajundome on June 24th, and tickets go on sale Friday, May 12th. Garth hasn't been in this area in over 20 years, so these tickets are going to be in high demand. I am expecting that there will be more than just a few disappointed people once the show is sold out.

The Cajundome informed us that the Garth Brooks concert ticket sales method will be slightly different from which we are accustomed. For one thing, there will be NO TICKET SALES AT ANY TICKETMASTER BRICK AND MORTAR OUTLETS on Friday, May 12th. There will be a ticket limit, and all tickets will be the same price.

We received this helpful email from the staff at the Cajundome regarding Garth Brooks ticket sales:

IMPORTANT GARTH BROOKS ON-SALE INFORMATION:

5. There will be a delivery delay on tickets until June 17th.

Of all these bits of information, the most important are 1: a and 1: c; You MUST buy online on Friday, May 12th and NOT at an outlet, and DO NOT BUY FROM ANY OTHER TICKET SELLER. The Cajundome, as stated above, can NOT guarantee entry if you purchased your tickets from a secondary seller (not Ticketmaster).

I found one said secondary seller today online, and when I clicked "2" as my quantity of tickets, the website said that I can expect to pay anywhere between $141 and $3,086. The website even had the Cajundome name in the IRL. (There was a disclaimer that said that final ticket price may be higher than face value. No, really? $3,086 is higher than face value?? HAHA!!)

Anyway, just adhere to the advice above and, if you are lucky enough to get tickets, you'll be good to go. If the show sells out before you secure your seats, you can try the secondary sellers, but remember, the Cajundome can not guarantee entry if your tickets weren't purchased from Ticketmaster. (And if the show sells out before you get your seats, you can probably thank those so-called "secondary sellers" for gobbling up all of the tickets before you get a chance to get yours!)

Bottom line: be smart. Good luck!
