Why Ticketmaster and Noah Kahan are trending in the U.S.
The Grammy-nominated singer is taking his new stadium run, The Great Divide Tour, across major U.S. ballparks and arenas in summer 2026. The tour supports his fourth studio album, also called The Great Divide, which is set to be released on April 24, 2026.
Ticketmaster is the primary seller for these U.S. dates. General tickets for many shows went on sale in the United States on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 12 p.m. local time in each city.
You must have seen that Ticketmaster and Noah Kahan have been trending together for the past few hours. That spike is coming from American fans trying to lock in seats today and this week.
Key Ticketmaster dates and times for U.S. buyers
Here is what Ticketmaster and Noah’s official info confirm for U.S. shows.
- Artist presale began Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at 12 p.m. local time.
- Fans had to register for that presale by Thursday, February 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
- General public on sale is Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 12 p.m. local time for many U.S. stadium dates.
Note: Local time means New York shows follow Eastern Time, Chicago follows Central Time, Denver uses Mountain Time, and Seattle uses Pacific Time. Ticketmaster lists the correct local time on each event page, so U.S. readers should always check the city they plan to attend.
Most U.S. events also show a standard start time around 6:30 p.m. local time at the venue, which is typical for big outdoor summer concerts.
How Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange works for this tour
One big reason this tour is in the news is the price control. Noah Kahan and Ticketmaster have confirmed that The Great Divide Tour in the United States is using Face Value Exchange.
Here is what that means:
- You can only resell tickets on Ticketmaster.
- Resale is limited to the original face value price.
- In U.S. states where local law does not allow strict resale caps, Ticketmaster still says it will keep prices at face value on its own site.
So if you are a U.S. fan who buys through Ticketmaster, you are protected from huge markups on the same platform. This policy is officially stated in Ticketmaster’s help pages on why Noah chose this system.
What the U.S. ticket prices look like right now
Prices always move, but we do have recent U.S. numbers from ticket reports published today.
A New York Post breakdown of the 2026 U.S. shows says the lowest tickets currently available across major verified platforms, including Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and GameTime, start around $146 for some dates. Citi Field in New York starts closer to $252 with fees.
That same report confirms that these prices apply to U.S. summer dates in cities like New York, Chicago, Washington DC, and more, all tied to The Great Divide Tour.
Because dynamic pricing and resale can move quickly in the U.S. market, any figure you see on social media may already be out of date. The only reliable source is the live price shown when you are logged in on Ticketmaster or another verified seller.
What U.S. fans should expect inside the Ticketmaster queue
If you have not used Ticketmaster in a while, the process can look intense, especially for a hot U.S. stadium tour.
Ticketmaster’s official event pages for Noah Kahan show a clear flow. You see steps like Lobby, Waiting Room, Queue, and Pick your seats.
Here are the main points for U.S. buyers:
- You should sign in before the sale window opens for your city.
- You may be asked for a one-time verification code by text in the United States.
- You should use only one device and a single browser window.
- Your place in line is tied to that session and your Ticketmaster U.S. account.
This system is built to slow bots and bulk buyers, which matters when shows at Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, or Citi Field can sell huge blocks of seats within minutes.
