KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Nobody must have left the Garth Brooks concert early.

Concert goers took to social media after the show to complain about the traffic congestion, some saying it was worse than a University of Tennessee game, where the announced attendance is typically larger than the number of tickets sold to the Garth Brooks’ Stadium Tour show.

@CityKnoxvilleTN @UTPolice @Knoxville_PD The traffic leaving the Garth Brooks concert was the worst traffic management plan I've ever seen. Who in the world planned this? You'd think you'd at least put some thought to this! 2 hours to leave!

Garth Brooks concert was fun but this Knoxville traffic sucks. Literally haven’t moved in over a hour and a half.
