I know there have been rumors about this for a long time, but...

I think there's a very good chance there will be more than one Garth Brooks show at the Sprint Center next month. Right now, only one show is scheduled for November 14th. It's a big deal for country music fans, who have waited for seven years to see one of the best-selling musicians of all time. I mean, this guy's sold more albums (do they still call them albums in this digital download age?) than the Beatles.

Yesterday, I was out at the Sprint Center as fans lined up early in the morning just to get wristbands so they could get BACK in line again on Saturday for tickets. As I stood there, I realized this was probably an exercise in futility for most of these Garth fans. Why? If this concert sells out as quickly as expected, only the first few people in line at the Sprint Center will get tickets. Remember, tickets are being sold on the Internet and by phone as well.

But here's where it gets interesting. I mentioned my concerns to a Sprint Center official, noting that I had talked to two women who had driven an hour and a half from rural Missouri to get the wristbands and then would be driving back into Kansas City again Saturday morning. If they end up not getting tickets, I'd feel very sorry for them. The Sprint Center official says to me: "They did the right thing."

What? How could that be? Their odds of getting tickets seem very low. The official then goes on to say that Garth Brooks "reserves the right" to add more shows. Okay. And... those shows could be added on Saturday morning. Now it's starting to all make sense.

A very important disclaimer now: This is not official. BUT... the person I talked to certainly lead me to believe another show (maybe more) will be added if there's enough demand. I don't think that will be a problem.

After all the controversy surrounding the Hannah Montana show, it would be great if Brooks adds enough shows so that all his fans could see him. And while I'm throwing rumors around... there's another one that the KC shows will be taped for a TV special.

We'll see what happens tomorrow morning. I think the first show will sell out quickly and then other shows will be added. My guess is that there will be a lot of happy Garth Brooks fans around here. I guess it really is good to have friends in (high) places.
