Garth Brooks is coming to the area: Where, when and how to get tickets

Feel like a road trip, country music fans? Garth Brooks has announced one and only one show in the Kentucky/West Virginia/Ohio region for his Garth Brooks Stadium Tour.

And it’s in Cincinnati. Brooks will play Paul Brown Stadium on May 14, at 7 p.m., according to a news release. Tickets for the concert will go on sale at 10 a.m. on March 11.

To purchase tickets, you can go online to ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks, call the Garth Brooks line at Ticketmaster, 877-654-2784, or through the Ticketmaster app. There will be no ticket sales at the venue box office on Friday, March 11.

All seats will be in the round, priced at $94.95, all inclusive. Limit of eight tickets to buy per customer, according to the release.

In 2020, the Garth Brooks Stadium Tour was set to play the venue in May before the coronavirus pandemic hit. More than 70,000 tickets for that show sold out in only 75 minutes, a Cincinnati record, according to the release.

Buyers assume all COVID risk with purchase; all local COVID policy rules will apply to the show, according to the release.

Brooks, a Kennedy Center Honoree and the first-ever seven-time recipient of the CMA Entertainer of the Year, last played Lexington’s Rupp Arena in September 2014, when he performed four shows over two nights.
