Why was Garth Brooks so popular in Ireland?

Ireland is a country full of boggers. Thats the only reason I can think of.

That's because of the smell of cabbage after the concerts, how would you like 5 days of cabbage "wafting" through your windows?

There'll be an abundance of untaxed cars running on tractor diesel and peoples pants falling down due to bailer twine failure. I dont blame the residents for getting upset.

Do the residents still get comps?

Silver lining and all that.

That's what will probably end up happening,

Find it strange that Croke Park don't meet with the residents each year to go through the scheduled events on in the stadium.

Plenty of time to get in a stock of hats, flags, scarves and headbands.

I would be pissed off if ~500,000 people were loud, píssed and making a racket over the course of 5 nights, passing my house.

I hope the pitch holds up, will it be allowed breath between gigs?

And your anger would be softened if you were afforded comps for each of the gigs.

If not, then yeah, it's a rough deal for the residents.

How much compensation would a house normally get?

Everyone will talk about the great Garth Brooks bubble of 2014, people buying 6 tickets for each of the five gigs, thousands of euro on the credit card on the promise that you'll easily flip them for five times their worth. People bidding against eachother for tickets on donedeal, spending upwards of €500 on a ticket worth €60 and telling themselves they got a great deal.

Then a week before the gig, all of those people who stockpiled tickets will try to sell them at the same time and realise that there just isn't enough demand for 400,000 tickets and they'll barely be able to give them away, never mind get their money back.

It'll be a national outrage, people on Joe Duffy blaming ticketmaster and the media for hyping up the gig even though they knew he was never that popular. Sob stories of people who are left paying back money on the credit card months later for a ticket they were never able to use because nobody wanted it. There'll be talk of debt forgiveness and asking NAMA to step in and refund everyone who paid scalpers massive money for their tickets.

It'll be carnage, I tell ye.

Might need another bail out even :-)

That and the smell of farm animals

Me personally, I would demand 2 grand a gig so €10 grand and it would still be torture.

Is it because of his voice or the smell of cabbage?

I think Garth should donate the entire proceeds of the gig to the Drumcondra residents association. It would be only fair, considering they'll probably have abandoned cattle grazing in their front gardens for the week.

Is it only farmers that are going to the concerts?

Nobody in Dublin (I use this generelisation loosely) wants to see him, just Leitrim and other boggers that didn't pass their driving tests.

You should be glad to see people coming up from the country at least the percentage of scumbags, junkies and general scobes per head of population in Dublin will decrease marginally for a few days.

It will be marginally though, as it would take a lot more than 5 fills of croke park to dilute the unwashed population of the capitol in any meaningful way.

He played Croke Park loads of time, sold shedloads of records and seemed to be here all the time. What was it about him that Irish people like, and would a comeback tour sell out? I think he's playing Vegas now.

Not a hope he'd sell out if he came back to Ireland. You might get 50 old biddies going to see him if he was on in the local pub and it was bingo night. Over the hill if you ask me.

You can mark my words on that one, stamp them, seal them up and cash them out in the bank!!!

Who will milk the cows for the 5 days of the concerts?
