Country music superstar Garth Brooks can still pack 'em in, selling out 30,000 tickets in five hours yesterday for a series of 20 small-scale Vegas shows that will end his retirement for the time being. The Oklahoma cowboy will put on four shows a weekend for five weekends in late 2009 and early 2010 at the 1,500-seat Wynn Las Vegas; tickets are $125 a pop.
