How can I get tickets for ‘Concert for Carolina’? The Helene relief show is on sale now

It’s finally time for tickets to go on sale for the “Concert for Carolina” Live Nation relief show to support storm victims affected by Hurricane Helene.

Following the deadly aftermath of the hurricane that swept through the region as a tropical storm, North Carolina natives Luke Combs and Eric Church are teaming up as headliners for the benefit concert alongside James Taylor, Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 26.

All proceeds from the show, presented by Explore Asheville and the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, will be split between Combs and Church’s Chief Cares Foundation to be donated to different relief organizations across the region, including Samaritan’s Purse , Manna Food Bank , Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC and Eblen Charities .

“It’s [North Carolina] in every fiber of who I am,” Church said in a statement when the show was announced. “Our family members, friends, neighbors and communities are in dire need. I’m honored to share the stage with an incredible lineup in order to help meet those needs. Through the dark, light will shine.”

How to get tickets

Tickets for the “Concert for Carolina” will be up for grabs beginning 10 a.m. on www.ticketmaster.com . According to Ticketmaster, there is an eight ticket limit for fans interested in going to the show.

Nearly an hour after ticket sales, fans were still waiting in line to get a chance to see the show. Around 10:55 a.m., there were still over 14,000 people ahead of me in the Ticketmaster queue. My colleague, Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler, was waiting behind about 35,000 people. At 10:20 a.m., with a whopping 50K people ahead of him, he took to Twitter to pitch the idea of a second show.

How much are ‘Concert for Carolina’ tickets?

Once I got into the queue around 11:30 a.m., the cheapest tickets I saw available were $95+ in Section 547 of Bank of America Stadium with some of the priciest coming in around $2,000 for floor seats.

While there’s been no word yet on whether or not a second show date could be in the works, the event website says a raffle and an auction will also be coming soon.
