Eric Church Announces 2017 Dates

Church not only told the capacity crowd about the new dates but also revealed the itinerary via Facebook Live.

The tour launches in Lincoln, Neb., in mid-January and wraps up with two nights in Nashville.  Stops along the way include Sioux Falls, Boston, Cleveland, Montreal, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.

The tour will mark the first time Church and his band have rolled across the land without any support acts.

Church and his team are also working to keep the secondary ticketing market out of the action via a new fan club presale system. To accomplish this, they are requiring Church Choir members to pre-register for the presale.  Once verified, fans will receive links to buy tickets.  According to Church’s announcement, “Scalpers that are found to be gaming the system and posing as real fans won’t receive the buy link at all.”

For scalpers thinking the fan club presale won’t be the only game in town, the Church camp says there will be no credit card, venue or radio presales.  In other words, the only advance ticketing action will be the fan club presale.

“In this era where growing inequality seems to be the norm, we wanted to do everything within our power to put the advantage back in the hands of true fans rather than those that take advantage of the system, and by extension our people,” Church’s manager, John Peets, said.  “It was important to us to invest time into evaluating and redesigning the ticket buying process and build the technology to level the playing field.”
