County music legend Garth Brooks will play in San Jose on Dec. 16, but instead of SAP Center, he’ll be playing the relatively tiny Club Rodeo. And you’ll have to be lucky to snag a pair of the 700 tickets, which can only be won through KRTY-FM radio contests.
Brooks called into KRTY’s morning show, hosted by Gary Scott Thomas and Julie Stevens, on Monday to make the announcement. He said KRTY General Manager Nate Deaton had called him to find out if he would bring one of his “Dive Bar Tour” shows — in which he’s been playing smaller venues — to Silicon Valley.
“I love getting to play at stadiums and arenas,” Brooks told Thomas and Stevens, “but there’s nothing like the dive bars. They’re the most fun.”
The trick for fans will be getting tickets to the 8 p.m. show in San Jose, where Brooks last performed in 2015. Like his other “Dive Bar” stops, tickets won’t be sold but will be given out through contests starting this Friday on KRTY (95.3). They also can’t be transferred, and proof of vaccination will be required at the venue. Brooks said to his fans who might have a different opinion on vaccination that this one might not be for them, but he would be playing outdoor events and other future dates when vaccination may not be an issue.
Brooks himself offered up the first pair of tickets to Tina Ferguson, KRTY’s longtime vice president of sales,” who was celebrating her birthday Monday. KRTY’s morning hosts were thrilled to get the news out, which they had been teasing since last week, despite a few technical bumps getting Brooks on the phone.
“Any day Garth Brooks calls you on the phone is a good day,” Thomas said.
