Garth Brooks wishes ticket scalping was illegal. I mean…me too, Garth. Me too.
Tickets for the first two shows of his arena tour go on sale tomorrow (7/17/26), and all tickets are expected to be the same price, even if they’re in the front row or nosebleeds.
He said, “I’ve never understood why scalping is legal. I don’t think I am making it too simple by saying if we just make scalping illegal, a bunch of the problems of today’s ticketing procedures would be gone…
I’ve always wanted to go to the ‘powers that be’ and tell them I would be happy to do a tour without scalping if they want to see if we all miss it or not.”
