Garth Brooks is coming back to Seattle for the first time in nine years, and he is bringing three shows with him. His Blame It All On My Roots Arena Tour will take over Climate Pledge Arena on Friday, Nov. 13, Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 15.
That is the kind of return fans in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest have been waiting to hear about. Tickets for all three concerts go on sale at 10 a.m. PT Friday, Oct. 23 at Ticketmaster.com/GarthBrooks, with no presales or advance box office sales available and an eight-ticket limit per purchase.
Brooks has made no secret of why this part of the country matters to him. He said people rarely think of Country Music when they think of the Northwest, but added that he cannot imagine touring without Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. He also said Seattle and Tacoma crowds show up in a BIG way, ready to sing, and that he and his band have used live tracks from there multiple times on their live records.
The new Seattle run now has a small wrinkle of its own: the added Sunday show is scheduled as a matinee, but the exact start time has not been released. What is clear is that Brooks is treating the weekend as more than a stopover. The tour is being recorded for a new live album, with both end-stage and in-the-round seating, and every seat in the house is offered at one price.
That setup gives this return extra weight beyond a standard arena booking. Tickets are priced at $155.50, including a $140 ticket price, a $5.50 facility fee and a $10 service charge, which means the Seattle dates are as much a test of demand as they are a comeback. For Brooks, the message is plain: he is back where he says the crowd has always shown up, and this time there are three chances to prove it.
