Lee Brice

He’s written No. 1 singles for Garth Brooks (“More Than A Memory”) and Eli Young Band (“Crazy Girl”), but Lee Brice celebrated a chart-topper like no other Tuesday (5/15).

“We’ve worked a long time and now we’re sitting here as an artist,” Brice said before the party honoring “A Woman Like You.” “It feels great in that way. All the work we’ve put in is paying off.”

Fellow artists Jerrod Niemann, Chris Young and LoCash Cowboys’ Preston Brust were in attendance. Brice’s label president Mike Curb also spoke, noting, “Lee, you’re going to be singing this song for the rest of your life.”

Garth Brooks Sells-Out Calgary Stampede in 58 Seconds

Garth Brooks

When you’ve got it, you’ve got it; and Garth Brooks definitely still has it. According to the Calgary Herald, Garth sold all 15,322 tickets for the Calgary Stampede in just 58 seconds. The concert, which isn’t until July 12th, is the fastest sell-out in Calgary Stampede’s 100-year history.

But like most popular concerts, the sell-out fumed fans who saw scalper sites such as Stub Hub with hundreds of seats for sale for a bargain price of $275 to $4,500.

It just seems kind of corrupt. How could they (resale sites) have that many tickets for sale at, like, 10:01 a.m.?” McMillan said. “They say it’s first-come, first-served, but is it really?”

Ticketmaster wasn’t available for comment…but I’ll throw my two cents in. No…no it’s not first come…not it’s not fair. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ticketmaster holds tickets for scalping sites. I have a feeling Ticketmaster sells those seats long before the public can even open their Internet Explorer. I have no proof, but my gut says it’s true.
