Tickets for Garth Brooks’ 2017 Calgary concerts have broken a sales record for his performances in the city that was set over a decade ago.
The country music superstar initially announced on July 19 that he would be performing in Calgary come September at a concert featuring his wife, singer Trisha Yearwood.
Then, on Friday, he revealed he would be performing a total of seven shows. The shows are as follows:
- Friday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept. 2 at 3 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept. 2 at 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, Sept. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept. 9 at 3 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for all shows went on sale via Ticketmaster on Friday, July 28 at 10 a.m. MT and included an eight-ticket limit.
Tickets for the concerts, which are part of Brooks’ current world tour, cost $79.98 each including taxes and a $6.25 service charge.
According to a spokesperson for the Scotiabank Saddledome, Brooks’ Calgary ticket sale record was set Aug. 7 to 9, 1996 with 53,076 tickets sold for the Saddledome.
On Friday, it took just 37 minutes for him to sell over 57,000 tickets.
The seven shows were sold out by 3 p.m. MT.
In February, Edmonton was host to nine sold-out Garth Brooks concerts at Rogers Place, which generated $42 million for the city’s economy, according to the Oilers Entertainment Group.
