Garth Brooks adds a fourth Ottawa show

Share Adjust Comment Print

Country music superstar Garth Brooks will play an unprecedented fourth straight concert at the Canadian Tire Centre at 3 p.m. on Sunday April 3. Some acts have played two concerts in a row including performers such as Phil Collins, the boy supergroup One Direction, Tina Turner and Hilary Duff, but no one has ever done this before. The single day ticket sales record belongs to the Rolling Stones who sold 43,000 before their show at Lansdowne Park in 2005.

Tickets are $79.98 and they go on sale on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. They are available at or 1-844-4-GarthB (1-844-442-7842). Tickets will not be sold at the venue box office or at outlets on Feb. 4. 

Last week more than 50,000 tickets were sold in a single day for three concerts on April 1, 2 and 3. If, as appears likely, the fourth show sells out the total gate in Ottawa will likely surpass $6 million on sales of more than 70,000 tickets. Brooks said an CTC record for ticket sales on Friday, a mark that will only continue to grow.  

Ottawa is not the first Canadian city to have multiple concerts by Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. Hamilton fans will see five concerts just before the Oklahoman heads to the capital.
