Moncton hotels filling up for McGraw and Hill concert

Moncton hotel rooms are already going fast for this summer's country music show at Magnetic Hill.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will be in Moncton for the mega concert at Magnetic Hill during the Labour Day weekend, it was announced Wednesday.

The husband and wife country stars areamong the biggest concert draws in North America.Last year, they finished behind only the Rolling Stones and Barbra Striesand in ticket sales.

Moncton won the bidding for the concert over Halifax.

Hotel Moncton front desk clerk Heather Duncan says all 81 of the hotel's rooms are booked for the night of the show.

"We have been fully booked since the rumours first started about the concert coming to Moncton," Duncan said Thursday. "Peoplehadn't even confirmed whether or not it would be in Moncton or in Halifax."

Other hotels in Moncton still have some rooms left for the Labour Day weekend, but many confirm they're getting lots of inquiries about them.

The Moncton show will feature at least seven more acts, to be announced later. Tickets will go on sale in mid-April and will range in price from $135 to $215.
