Luke Combs set a new attendance record at the Alerus Center in North Dakota!
The country superstar and North Carolina native broke a record previously held by George Strait during the opening weekend of his highly-anticipated What You See Is What You Get Tour. Taking place on Friday, September 17 at Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, the concert sold-out within days of on-sale with over 22,000 tickets sold.
The “Cold As You” singer’s ticket sales for the tour date marked the most tickets ever sold at the arena for a concert, surpassing George Strait’s ‘The Cowboy Rides Away’ Tour date at the venue in 2013, which sold 19,500 tickets. Prior to Strait’s record-breaking attendance numbers in 2013, Cher (2002) and Metallica (2018) held the record for highest attendance with 19,200 and 17,000 tickets sold, respectively.
“This is definitely the attendance record,” Alerus Center General Manager Anna Rosburg said. (via Grand Forks Herald) “He broke the record within just a few days of going on sale. (In) the facility’s history, and as you know the facility is 20 years old, that’s a pretty significant record.”
Combs’ concert was the third show to take place at the arena since the global health crisis took over the world in 2020.
Additionally, Combs’ massive, headlining What You See Is What You Get tour continues through the fall before wrapping up in early December. Ashley McBryde, Drew Parker and Ray Fulcher serve as support on select dates of the trek.
