From KansasCity.com: It was only a few minutes after 10 a.m. Saturday when the marquee at the Sprint Center flashed the happy news: “Second show added Nov. 12.”A Garth Brooks crowd numbering in the hundreds whooped it up — hey, these are country music fans — and it seemed that every face grew a big smile. Fans knew that tickets to Brooks’ originally announced show on Nov. 14 at Sprint would get snapped up soon after 10 a.m., when they first went on sale. But many felt comfortably certain another show would be added. Then came announcements at 10:17 a.m., 10:29 a.m. and 10:40 a.m. of third, fourth and fifth shows. Each time the crowd grew giddier. A sixth show was added, and by 11 a.m. the line was gone and the mayhem over. Ticket buyers could walk right up to windows of the new Sprint Center. A total of nine shows were announced, Nov. 5 to 12 and Nov. 14, along with special guest Trisha Yearwood. And they were all sold out. That’s about 140,000 tickets, each costing no more than $32.50. Brooks apparently knows how to make concert fans happy — and how to do it dramatically.

Want a handful of Tim McGraw? Be prepared for an earful from Faith Hill. At a stop on the couple’s Soul2Soul tour Saturday at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana, a female fan grabbed Tim in the crotch area as he walked between a barricade and the stage to greet fans. Shortly thereafter, in front of the whole crowd, Faith barked at the fan in a brief rant that was captured on video. “Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend,” she barks at the fan. “You don’t go grabbin’ somebody else’s, somebody’s husband’s [private parts], you understand me? That’s very disrespectful.”

Last November, at the Country Music Association awards, Faith was caught on camera flailing her arms and apparently shouting “What?” after Carrie Underwood won in the female vocalist of the year category.
