## Key points

- Bot activity halted sales for Brooks’s third Kansas City show.
- The show’s future is under review.
- Tickets were priced at $155.50 across seats.

## Summary

Garth Brooks and the promoters halted ticket sales for a third Kansas City show after bots overwhelmed the online sale. They are assessing what to do next, leaving the show’s future uncertain; the disruption matters because fans could not reliably buy tickets at the advertised price.

Brooks had initially scheduled shows for 6 and 7 November, then added a third amid strong demand. Tickets were priced at $155.50 regardless of seat, but bot activity worsened across the tour and crashed the sale. Brooks apologised and said he would personally look into options, with particular concern for fans who had already secured tickets.
