(antiMusic) Couldn't snag tickets to the short Garth Brooks tour? Worried that it might be your last chance to hear him belt out "they call that thing a row-dee-ooo" live? We have some good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that more dates have not been added to the tour. The good news is that you can catch his final concert at a movie theater the night it happens. While it's not the same as being there, it's better than nothing. Here is the press release:

For one night in November, fans of Garth Brooks will have the opportunity to see the legendary performer, with special guest Trisha Yearwood, from a venue just minutes from their homes. On Wednesday, November 14th, Brooks will play his final concert in a sold-out series of nine originating from the brand new Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The concert will be simulcast live to more than 300 movie theatres nationwide in association with National CineMedia�s FATHOM Events. The performance is being presented by Sprint, and captured and distributed by Horse of Troy Productions Inc., Jon Small/Picture Vision and AEG Network LIVE.

�It�s things like this that make me praise technology. The gift that AEG and NCM FATHOM participating theatres have given me is to be able to go on a virtual tour without leaving home. How does it get any better than that?� said Garth Brooks.

�No artist today means more to his millions of fans worldwide than Garth Brooks,� said Timothy J. Leiweke, president and CEO, AEG. �Whether you experience the concert in Sprint Center or in one of the 300 theatres, it will truly be one of the great nights of music ever experienced. Not only am I a fan but Garth is also a valued friend. I am very appreciative that for this once-in-a-lifetime event, Garth chose Kansas City, Sprint Center and AEG,� Leiweke added.

All tickets will be priced at $10 (plus applicable online service charges) and go on sale this Friday, October 19th at 12pm in each local time zone at www.fathomevents.com or via www.garthbrooks.com. There is a limit of 10 tickets per person. An encore presentation of the concert will be rebroadcast in theatres on November 15th. Tickets for the November 15th encore event will also go on sale Friday. Participating theatre locations and additional information is available at www.fathomevents.com.
