George Strait managed to sell out his final concert in less than one day. "Big deal," say you, "tons of bands sell out venues in just one day of sales." The difference, of course, is that Strait sold out AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, which has seating capacity for more than 100,000. So it's about on par with selling out the 2014 Super Bowl in one day. Which happened, but the Super Bowl is about the paramount of American events, so Strait's final show could be considered a big deal.
Of course, not only is checking out the theoretical final show (Garth Brooks just announced his comeback, and we expect to see Strait at some point down the line) a big, historical deal, but the show will also feature quite the supporting cast. Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Lee Ann Womack are all scheduled to perform, and attendees can probably expect some unannounced guests too.
"Wow," was Strait's simple response. "To see this response from the fans to our final show is humbling and exciting at the same time," Strait says. "This is going to be an incredible night, and I feel very blessed this holiday knowing how many of you we'll get to see us next year on our final tour."
If you didn't get a ticket, don't worry: Theres's still a possibility, but it's gonna be an expensive one. Strait is auctioning off two pairs of front-row tickets to the show to benefit the Jenifer Strait Foundation charity. That auction ends on December 17, so get that last-minute Christmas gift while you have the chance.
