Tickets Sell Out Quick For First Target Field Concert

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – It took all of about four hours for what will be the hottest summer ticket in town to get claimed Saturday for the first concert to be held at Target Field.

Country music stars Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw are coming to Minneapolis on July 8 for an outdoor concert as part of their "Brothers of the Sun" tour. Officials said more than 39,000 tickets sold Saturday morning in four hours.

That was despite a technical glitch online that impeded ticket purchases for several fans.

If you are a fan who was unable to secure a ticket because of online problems, you are encouraged to head to www.twinsbaseball.com/concerts to get a ticket. Officials said a limited number of seats may be released by the concert promoter for sale to the public in the coming months.
