Garth Brooks to Denver Fans: Beat the Bots Garth Brooks has urged fans in Denver to prepare thoroughly for the upcoming Blame It All On My Roots Tour concert by taking steps to avoid bot interference during ticket sales. The country music icon emphasized the importance of joining Ticketmaster’s waiting room before the on-sale begins, stating that this process helps the platform identify and block automated programs, ensuring real fans have a fair chance to secure tickets. Brooks highlighted that the waiting room opens 30 minutes prior to the ticket sale and is designed to verify that users are genuine individuals. Once the sale begins, all participants in the waiting room are automatically placed into the ticket queue. Ticketmaster’s queue system is intended to filter out bot activity, a feature Brooks praised as critical to protecting fans who support his music. “I really urge people to get in the waiting room before the queue opens and update all your info ahead of time,” he said, underscoring the need for fans to complete their profiles and ensure their accounts are ready for the sale. The artist also addressed the broader issue of ticket scalping, expressing frustration that the practice remains legal. Brooks argued that eliminating scalping would significantly reduce problems in ticket purchasing, as scalpers often exploit the system to resell tickets at inflated prices. “I don’t know why scalping is still legal,” he said. “A lot of the problems with ticket purchases would go away if scalping were made illegal.” Denver is the second stop on Brooks’ Blame It All On My Roots Tour, following a four-show kickoff in Indianapolis. The concert will take place on September 4 and 5 at Ball Arena, with tickets going on sale on Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. Mountain Time.#ticketmaster #denver #ball_arena #garth_brooks #blame_it_all_on_my_roots_tour
