Ed Sheeran concert

There’s no good seats in croker it’s too big

Going to this Gig on Saturday but tickets still are not available to download on the ticketmaster app on my phone. Anyone else having this problem? Ticketmaster customer support is a joke.

Being dragged on Sunday to see the bould Ed... Need to park over towards Fitzwillam Sq / Merrion Sq direction for the day. Is it still free street parking around there of a Sunday or is that long gone??

6 of us going on Saturday with myself as the lead booker. With how things are now with ticketmaster and tickets is it best to leave all tickets on my phone to scan or distribute them to the other 5. We will all be going in together anyway. Or do they actually check that the lead booker is present like they say?

Check the lead booker, lol, for 80k people.

Nope, there wont be any checks, there never are.

Enjoy everyone going tonight and over the tour

Apparently the stage is never before seen and configured for each venue

Saw him on Wednesday night in Vicar. Amazing. That's from someone who only knows the songs that would be on radio, TV etc. He seems so genuinely humble.

I'm kinda getting itch fingers here now for Croke Park. It's only down the road from me.

If anyone knows of anyone stuck with tickets cause of last minute drop-outs, cant get rid of it and willing to take a nominal amount for it, I can roll up there at any time, given a half hours notice.

It was amazing gig. The second hour was very special. I'll be looking out for another ticket for tomorrow.

Got one for €30 in the end. Actually got 2 tickets for that, but couldn't use the second one. It was really last minute. But that was through a lot of messages and perseverance. There are lot more tickets available on adverts for tomorrow so will be easier to get one.

He has a song Bloodstream, which is brilliant live.

Question for anyone there tonight or familiar with Croker.

Im bringing my mam and brother to Garth Brooks and will be in the Hogan Stand. Her mobility isn't the best. Not wheelchair bound or anything, but walking anything other than a short distance would be a challenge. What are my best options to get her as close to the entrance as possible on the way in? I can drive, I don't mind being stuck in traffic and missing the start by dropping them in, but I'm guessing streets will be closed.

Was at it and they just scanned tickets as normal, no difference to any other gig or match I've been at in croker.

Also, anyone know what time he came on stage last night?

Finished at 10.45.

I went on my own. But I generally go to gigs on my own. It’s more for the music for me than the social side. I know, I might be bit odd; but Shure whatever keeps me happy. There will be about 70,000 people there tonight. Nobody will give a hoot if you’re on your own or not. People will not even notice. Everyone has their own agenda going. Booze, dancing, looking after kids etc. Go for it. It was a great experience last night.

Thanks for that.

They're not mega fans or anything, it was a sheer mad moment and a low balance on the credit card prompted me to buy the tickets for us. For the experience more than anything!

He uses backing tracks, and has other stuff going on, he had an incident in the Albert Hall a number of years where one of the backing tracks kept looping .

That I can't answer, when ed Sheeran played the phoenix park the train was jammers, but completely emptied at Connolly, I imagine it'll be the same for Garth, and I'd imagine most of his crowd would be heading the other direction.

He had a band there for some songs last night. Hence the electric guitar sound. Doesn’t use backing tracks. He has that pedal thing which repeats certain sounds generated by himself.

i didn’t pay full price last night. But for the entertainment that it was, in hindsight I would have if needed. Worth every euro.
