Garth Brooks fans: Court rules on accuser's anonymity before shows

What Garth Brooks fans need to know before weekend concerts at T-Mobile Center.

The country star is set to play two shows in Kansas City this weekend.

The concerts are Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 at T-Mobile Center.

Both shows start at 8 p.m.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

A third show — a Saturday matinee — was canceled after bots bought up all the tickets.

If you see anyone selling tickets for that canceled matinee, those tickets are no longer valid.

This weekend’s shows are part of Brooks’ Blame It All On My Roots arena tour.

T-Mobile Center is the same venue where Brooks’ banners hang in the rafters.

He previously sold out the arena 16 times, including concerts in 2007 right after the venue opened and again in 2017.

Tickets for remaining seats on either day cost $155, no matter where you sit.

Brooks performs in the round, meaning anyone can see him from any seat.

The 360-degree stage is set up on one end of the venue’s floor with no backdrop that would block views.

Limited tickets remain on the floor, in the lower levels and in the upper levels for both nights.

Tickets for Friday can be purchased online on AXS.

Tickets for Saturday can also be purchased on AXS.

There is no opening act joining Brooks on this tour.

The schedule is subject to change.

Plan for a large crowd for both concerts.

Meanwhile, a separate legal development unfolded this week involving Brooks.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ruling on Wednesday, November 4.

The ruling concerns the woman who accused Brooks of sexual assault.

She filed her claims against Brooks in Los Angeles court in October 2024.

She claimed Brooks exposed her to “appalling sexual conduct.”

She alleged he raped her during a May 2019 stay in a Los Angeles hotel room.

Brooks has vehemently denied the allegations.

He called them “lies” aimed at forcing him to pay “hush money.”

The woman had been using the pseudonym Jane Roe in the litigation.

She asked to proceed anonymously to protect her privacy.

A lower trial judge in Mississippi ruled last year that she must use her real name.
