Move over, Eras Tour — there’s a new competitor for the hardest artist to get tickets to: Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide Tour.
In a post to his Instagram Feb. 2, Kahan announced that he would be embarking on a stadium tour following the announcement of his fourth studio album, “The Great Divide.” The tour will feature 22 stops across the country, with the final night at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park.
Alongside the announcement of his tour, Kahan also announced that tickets would be available for presale, allowing fans to sign up through his website.
This is where it became a war for tickets. Thousands of fans signed up for the presale and received their links when the sale date arrived. I was one of nearly 11,000 fans waiting in the Ticketmaster queue to be able to purchase tickets for the Aug. 30 night at T-Mobile Park. I got lucky and got tickets. Other fans, however, weren’t as lucky.
TikTok user @theyankeeyearner shared a screenshot of their Ticketmaster queue with the caption “So who’s lending their ticket to me?” They were in the presale line for the Jul. 18 and 19 shows at Citi Field in Queens, New York — a line that had 186,775 buyers ahead of them. Other shows, including the two nights at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Aug. 21 show at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, faced similar line numbers.
Kahan’s team worked to add more shows as fast as they could to help fans get the seats they wanted. The day of the presale, a second show was added at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, and two Fenway and one T-Mobile Park shows were added on Feb. 12.
Fans, however, were less than pleased with the competitiveness of the ticket sales. On Instagram, under the post announcing additional tour dates, user @madyaalexander commented, “I’m super disappointed with this round of ticket prices and lack of ability to get tickets, @noahkahanmusic. I’ve been a fan since Busyhead and waited for hours on the MLB site just to find out they were sold out. Love your music, but please, for your fans, we’re getting bought out.”
Kahan’s team worked to avoid ticket resellers raising prices, so fans could experience his show at an affordable price.
“To make sure fans have the best opportunity at original ticket prices, the tour will be using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange. Tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold at face value on Ticketmaster,” @kahanhq captioned on Instagram. “Nothing is perfect, but we’re doing what we can to help protect against scalpers and keep tickets in fans’ hands.”
Currently, all shows on the Great Divide Tour are sold out, with Kahan being the first artist to ever sell out four consecutive nights at Fenway Park.
