Garth Brooks will be spending more time in Sin City! Due to high demand, the county star added more than a dozen additional dates to his Garth Brooks/Plus One Las Vegas residency, which kicks off at Caesars Palace on Thursday (May 18).

“I plan on being here ’til they throw me out,” Brooks joked during an interview with Good Morning America. “We’ll see how long that lasts.”
“I’m hoping [fans] get something here that they can’t get anywhere else,” Brooks noted while comparing the residency to a music laboratory. “I think it’s like a laboratory because [there’s a] no phone, no video policy, which makes me go ‘here’s a song I was working on today.’”
He continued, “One of the greatest reviews I ever got was somebody that walked out and says ‘I’m not sure what I just saw, but it was fantastic!’ I think I’m the best at having fun, I really do.”
This isn’t the first time that Brooks has extended his sold-out concerts. The 61-year-old singer added additional dates to his successful stadium tour last year.
Although the first portion of Brooks’ residency has already sold out, fans can find resale tickets at Vivid Seats, Seat Geek and Stub Hub. Prices for tonight’s show range from around $251 up to approximately $700. Tickets for later dates are priced at $225 and up.

Ticketmaster is once again suffering the wrath of Twitter much as they did at the tail end of 2022 over Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny ticket issues. This time, fans of SZA are taking to Twitter to complain that the automated queue system Ticketmaster uses prevented some from obtaining pre-sale tickets for the TDE vocalist’s upcoming European leg of her “SOS” tour.
Ticketmaster was trending on Twitter Thursday morning (April 13) with fans sharing similar tales of waiting in long queue lines via the web and subsequently being booted out. One user said that they were next in line to buy but was sent to the back of the line. Others have been waiting overnight to get SZA tickets to no avail.
As it stands, this has put Ticketmaster back in the hot seat after the Taylor Swift pre-sale ticket debacle, and the cloned tickets from Bad Bunny in November and December of last year respectively. Drake also filed a lawsuit against the ticket-selling company alleging that Ticketmaster misled buyers regarding the Canadian superstar’s It’s A Blur tour dates alongside 21 Savage.
Further, the company was investigated at the top of the year by the U.S. Senate judiciary committee in a hearing titled “That’s the Ticket: Promoting Competition and Protecting Consumers in Live Entertainment.”
On Twitter, Ticketmaster is getting grilled and fried for making fans miss out on SZA tickets. Check out those reactions below.

If you’ve been trying to figure out the best strategy to score some tickets to Beyoncé‘s upcoming North American tour, don’t believe the hype. Specifically, don’t buy into the rampant rumors on Twitter from fans claiming that you can nab presale codes by buying a “Cuff It” remix from Bey’s official website.
“This is categorically false,” the singer’s longtime spokesperson, Yvette Noel-Schure tells Billboard.
“I JUST BOUGHT BOTH VERSIONS OF CUFF IT WETTER REMIX ON [link] AND I GOT THE PRESALE CODE TO THE RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR. BUY TO GET YOURS TOO!,” tweeted one fan, while another claimed they uncovered a similar cheat code in a tweet that read, “People who buy the cuff it remix are most likely to get a presale code and get chosen for lottery at the Renaissance tour. Go hive!!”
At press time it was unclear where the rumor came from or who started it, but it makes sense that the singer’s superfans would be searching high and low for any angle on tickets to the Renaissance Tour.
The first 40 dates of the tour were announced last week, followed by an additional seven shows in Toronto; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; Houston; Los Angeles; and East Rutherford, N.J. If you want to be in the building for one of the most anticipated tours of 2023 the first step is to register for Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan, though registering doesn’t automatically secure you a spot.
According to Ticketmaster, a “lottery-style” process will be used to determine which Verified Fans will receive access codes to purchase tickets while others will be waitlisted. Citi cardmembers can get exclusive access to presale tickets upon registering here until Thursday (Feb. 9.); the first group of Verified Fan presale tickets went on sale on Monday.
Because of the new dates announced last week, the Verified Fan registration for Group A ended at noon last Friday. Registration for Group B will be open until Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET. Group B registration includes shows in Boston, Dallas, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and Tampa. Group C registration ends Feb. 16 at 11:59 p.m. ET and includes shows in Charlotte, Detroit, Phoenix, St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Nashville and Kansas City, Mo. Tickets to the Renaissance Tour are also available on Vivid Seats.
Now the bad news.
“Fan demand already exceeds the number of tickets available by more than 800 percent based on the registration numbers in the Group A cities,” read a statement from Ticketmaster after the initial presale. “It is expected that many interested fans may not be able to get tickets because demand drastically exceeds supply.”
President Biden urged Congress to “crack down on excessive online concert, sporting event, and other entertainment ticket fees” on Wednesday (Feb. 1), according to a statement from the White House. Biden’s call for action came roughly a week after Live Nation Entertainment faced scathing critiques from both Democratic and Republic senators during a Senate Judiciary hearing.
Speaking with his competition council, Biden said that Congress “should lower the huge service fees that companies like Ticketmaster slap onto tickets for concerts or sporting events that can easily add hundreds of bucks to a family’s night out,” according to The New York Times. “It’s a basic question of fairness,” he added.
President Biden’s interest in curbing ticket fees is part of the Junk Fee Prevention Act, which he discussed with his competition council Wednesday. The act takes aim at four types of excessive fees that cumulatively “cost American consumers billions of dollars a year.”
“Many online ticket sellers impose massive service fees at check-out that are not disclosed when consumers are choosing their tickets,” the White House noted in a statement. These fees make attending live events prohibitively expensive in some cases: “A family of four attending a show could end up paying far more than $100 in fees above and beyond the cost of the tickets.”
As a result, “the President is calling on Congress to prohibit excessive fees, require the fees to be disclosed in the ticket price, and mandate disclosure of any ticket holdbacks that diminish available supply.”
In addition to limiting ticket fees, the Junk Fee Prevention Act also aims to eliminate “airline fees for family members to sit with young children,” “exorbitant early termination fees for TV, phone, and internet service” and “surprise resort and destination fees.”
Ticket fees were just one of several topics that came up during the Senate Judiciary hearing last month, which also explored the Taylor Swift ticket sale fiasco, whether Live Nation bullies its competitors and the extent to which the company acts as a monopoly. Joe Berchtold, Live Nation’s president and chief financial officer, told lawmakers that his company wasn’t as powerful as critics were making out and argued that “ticketing has never been more competitive.”
The hearing almost immediately caused ripples in the live music industry. The following day, Ineffable Music Group announced that it would no longer collect 20% of touring artists’ merchandise sales at the 10 venues it owns or operates. “Any action we can take to help to insure a healthy, vibrant concert ecosystem is important,” Ineffable Music Group CEO Thomas Cussins told Billboard at the time.
Taylor Swift is heading out on her first tour in five years, as the superstar announced her The Eras Tour on Tuesday (Nov. 1).
The tour will be a celebration of all 10 of the studio albums Swift has released since 2006.The singer also shared a poster advertising the tour’s 27-date U.S. leg on Instagram featuring a collage of photos of herself through the years, from the time of her self-titled debut to Midnights, which dropped less than two weeks prior to the tour news.
“I wanted to tell you something that I’ve been so excited about for a really long time. I’ve been planning for ages and I finally get to tell you: I’m going back on tour,” Swift said on GMA, announcing the news. “The tour is called the Eras tour and it’s a journey through all of the musical eras of my career.”
