Eric Church brings his Holdin’ My Own  Tour to Ottawa March 3, 2017 at the Canadian Tire Centre!

Tickets on sale and can be purchased by visiting www.Ticketmaster.ca, www.canadiantirecentre.com, or by phone at 1-877-788-FANS. Tickets will start at $24, $49, $69 and $89; general admission and reserved seating (plus CRF and service charges).*

EMI Nashville recording artist Eric Church will bring his Holdin’ My Own Tour to Richcraft Live at Canadian Tire Centre on Friday, March 3, 2017 and for the first time ever, there will be no support act on this tour. Eric Church and the ECB will play two full sets with an intermission in between.

As on past tours, Church will continue to cancel any and all orders found to be made by scalpers. New for the Holdin’ My Own Tour, Church commissioned a proprietary technology that scrubs ticket purchases using up to 10 different data points and automatically flags orders made by scalpers. Orders may be cancelled at any time and without warning. Church cautions fans to stay away from the secondary market because it’s likely that tickets found there will be invalid by the time the show happens.

Finally, delivery of all ticket orders will be delayed until the days leading up to each show. Church hopes that this will make it impossible for scalpers to complete their transactions.

By doing this – investing time and energy to create a more efficient and balanced model – the Church team is not only communicating directly to the fans the best source for face value tickets, but also building a model that protects fans and can be adopted by the industry as a whole.

“The way this album came together mandated we release it as a surprise, straight to our fans, as it was important for me to deliver the music the same way the creativity hit me – directly and swiftly. What I didn’t anticipate is that it left me scratching my head a little as this year was supposed to be spent writing.” Church continues, “What this year’s open schedule did afford us was time to think through the way the fans experience our music live, and it was important to us that we find a way to stick to these same principles when it came to approaching our shows, down to the way they go on sale.”

Church’s 2014-2015 The Outsiders World Tour topped Billboard’s Hot Tours consistently after Church set new attendance records in five markets including Chicago’s Allstate Arena on March 20 with 18,626 present. Church also shattered Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena attendance record on Jan. 10 with an unprecedented 18,411 fans assembled, surpassing The Blue Collar Comedy Tour’s record set in Feb. 2006. On April 7, 2015 he also broke the attendance record at Grand Forks, N.D.’s Ralph Engelstad Arena, which was previously set by Sir Elton John’s 2012 show. The Outsiders World Tour saw Church performing to over 800,000 fans in more than 65 cities with nearly 20 stops from Sept. 2014 through Sept. 2015 and was named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s Must-See Tours.
