Alan Jackson’s Final Concert Is Here, but Seeing It Comes With a Price Fans Can’t Ignore.ML

Key Points

• Alan Jackson’s final concert sold out quickly; resale ticket prices are extremely high.
• Jackson retires due to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, impacting his mobility and balance.
• “We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started: Nashville.”

If you’re hoping to catch Alan Jackson’s very last concert — ever — there’s still hope. Although the show sold out, there are plenty of re-sale tickets available for purchase, but the prices are sky-high.

Ticketmaster and Seat Geek have hundreds of seats available for the highly anticipated concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, in June, but the cheapest tickets are located in the upper levels of the arena and will run you $600 per seat. That may not be so terrible if you’re hoping to just get into the building and be on-hand for a history-making show. However, if you’re wanting a bird’s eye view of the stage, you’re looking at $3,000 per seat.

Many country music fans are looking forward to the show, which will feature other popular country music artists like Luke Combs and Carrie Underwood.

Jackson, 67, is hanging up his cowboy hat after being diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in 2021. The degenerative nerve condition has caused Jackson mobility and balance issues, which makes performing a challenge. As the condition has progressed, Jackson made the decision to end his time on the stage.

“It’s been a long road… and it’s taken me places I never imagined,” Jackson previously told People magazine. “But I can’t think of a better place to put on a big show and give the fans a finale than in Nashville and include so many special friends. We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started for me, and that’s in Nashville — Music City — where country music lives.”

Pre-sale tickets for the show began at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and sold out before going on sale to the general public. The same day, Jackson issued an apology to fans who were unable to get tickets.

“I’m proud and overwhelmed by the response from my fans. I’m just sorry there weren’t enough seats for everybody who wanted one. I appreciate all the people that have come to my shows and supported me over the years,” he shared on Instagram.
