## Summary

Garth Brooks has cancelled an additional Kansas City concert after ticket bots overwhelmed the sale, preventing many genuine fans from buying tickets. His team said the on-sale had to be shut down, and Brooks said he felt fans were left without a fair chance to attend.

The matinee at the T-Mobile Center had been scheduled for 7 November, with tickets going on sale on 23 October. Brooks’ team said most of the 90,000 people shown in the queue were bots; fans who secured tickets will receive full refunds. The article also cites Raye’s recent experience, when 1.8 million people signed up for a chance to buy tickets to a 5,000-capacity Royal Albert Hall show, prompting manual checks for suspected bots and scalpers.
