LAS VEGAS, NV. (Top40 Charts/ Wynn Las Vegas) - As tickets for the next series of
Garth Brooks concerts will be released on Saturday, February 27, Wynn Las
Vegas continues to implement policies and procedures to ensure that seats are not resold for more than face value. Fans are strongly discouraged from purchasing tickets through unauthorized channels as these tickets will be cancelled. Ticket scalping is illegal on the Las
Vegas Strip. Wynn is committed to developing new and improved measures to combat scalping until such a time that the illegal activity ceases.

* Visit www.visitwynn.com/terms/garthtickets for a complete list of terms and conditions.
As Wynn security continues to collaborate with Metro Police and local authorities, tickets have been confiscated from disappointed fans. In one instance, scalpers lured customers into purchasing seats through unauthorized websites, with promises to deliver the tickets in Las Vegas. This significant ring of illegal scalpers is now being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Six suspects were arrested by Metro Police on February 13, 2010 and will be prosecuted for the following NRS Violations: Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses, Burglary and Conspiracy to Commit a Crime � all felonies. They were also charged with violating the Clark County Ordinance for Ticket Scalping, a misdemeanor.
Fans should be reminded that the agreement with Garth Brooks includes multiple concert engagements over a five-year period. Additional concert dates will be released every few months. Fans also stand a chance to obtain tickets for sold out concerts on performance dates as tickets confiscated from unauthorized sellers will be sold to the stand-by line at the Wynn Box Office.
Tickets are $125 plus a $5 service charge and a $13 tax to equal a total of $143. No one should pay more than face value at any time, for any reason. Tickets may be booked by calling 702.770.1000 or online at www.wynnlasvegas.com/boxoffice. Tickets will not be available for purchase at the Wynn Box Office on Saturday, February 27.
