Tens of thousands of tickets were "quickly snatched up" Saturday for the first concert at Target Field, a July 8 show headlined by Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw . The roughly 39,000 tickets made available were sold out "in about four hours," despite a technical problem that the team said "impeded the ticket purchases for some fans." Ticket sales were "handled exclusively by the team at www.twinsbaseball.com/concerts , bypassing industry giant Ticketmaster" ( Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 12/11 ).
