Morgan Wallen adds second Knoxville tour date. Here's how to get in line for tickets now!
One night at Neyland Stadium has turned into two for country superstar Morgan Wallen! The addition of second date to his hometown tour stop in September sent fans scrambling for tickets as soon as it was announced July 17.
Wallen will perform Sept. 20 at Neyland, in addition to the previously announced Sept. 22 show. The shows are added stops to his massive One Night at a Time tour.
“Due to overwhelming demand we have added a 2nd date at Neyland Stadium!” Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center announced on July 17. The second show was announced just under two hours after tickets for the first show went on sale.
Tickets for the Sept. 20 show go on sale 11 a.m. July 18 through Ticketmaster, according to the announcement.
A Ticketmaster glitch at the time of the second show announcement, however, allowed eager fans to join the queue for tickets a day early.
At one point on July 17, as many as 70,000 people were waiting to get tickets when Ticketmaster's site showed that tickets for Sept. 20 would be be available at 1 p.m. that day. Those who made it to the front of the line, however, were met with a "tickets go on sale tomorrow" message.
As of that afternoon, the webpage for the Sept. 20 show at Neyland still read "Tickets are now on sale," with a clickable button to "join the queue" for tickets.
Tickets for the Sept. 22 show are on sale now, if you can still get one.
Neyland Stadium's seating capacity is 101,915, nearly five times that of Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center, a far more frequent venue for concerts.
Wallen graduated in 2011 from Gibbs High School. A huge Tennessee baseball fan, he teased a Knoxville concert after the Vols' College World Series championship in June.
