机器人抢票再起：加思·布鲁克斯叫停堪萨斯城第三场演唱会售票
乡村音乐明星 Garth Brooks 的团队10月23日宣布，因「机器人活动过度」，叫停其「Blame It All On My Roots」巡回演唱会堪萨斯城第三场演出的售票。这场新增的11月7日下午2点在 T-Mobile Center 举行的午场能否如期举行、已购票是否有效，目前都没有定论。
据票务行业媒体 TicketNews 报道，第三场是本周早些时候因前两场需求火爆临时加开的，门票当天上午10点（中部时间）经 AXS 开售，统一票价155美元。开售后不久，Brooks 团队在 X 平台发文称，由于机器人活动过度，堪萨斯城第三场演出的售票已关闭，团队与主办方正在评估下一步。
Brooks 随后亲自发文道歉，称机器人问题已经失控、在这次巡演中愈演愈烈，他最挂心的是在系统被冲垮前成功买到票的歌迷，并表示会亲自过问能做些什么。这次声明没有明确已购票是否有效，也没有重新开售时间表。这已是 Brooks 巡演中第二次因机器人叫停加场：9月22日，盐湖城第三场加场在开售约30分钟后同样被叫停，当时他很快保证已购票有效。

Garth Brooks Halts Ticket Sales for Third Kansas City Show Over Bot Activity
Country star Garth Brooks's team announced on October 23 that ticket sales for the third Kansas City show of his “Blame It All On My Roots” tour have been shut down due to excessive bot activity. Whether the added show, a 2 p.m. matinee on November 7 at T-Mobile Center, will go ahead, and whether tickets already purchased will be honored, remain undecided.
According to ticketing industry outlet TicketNews, the third show was added earlier in the week after strong demand for the first two shows. Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. Central that day through AXS, all priced at $155. Shortly after the sale opened, Brooks's team posted on X that sales for the third Kansas City show had been shut down due to excessive bot activity, and that Brooks and the promoters are evaluating next steps.
Brooks then apologized personally, saying the bot situation is out of hand and has been progressively getting worse on this tour, that his concern is for the fans who managed to buy tickets before the bots crashed the sale, and that he will personally look into what can be done. The statement did not clarify whether purchased tickets remain valid, and gave no timetable for resuming sales. It was the second time on this tour that an added show's sale was halted over bots: on September 22, a third Salt Lake City show's sale was stopped about 30 minutes after it began, and Brooks quickly assured buyers then that their tickets would be honored.
