Garth Brooks - Croke Pk Sept 2022

Was in 302 8 rows up, perfect view of the stage 👌

I’m going tonight and looking forward but can’t understand why he didn’t organise and do a support of a medley of country and Irish stars it would make it special and link in country scene here.

And he could bring them out at end for a final sing along.

Because literally no one cares.

Saw one row on the way out on the street across my the hogan stand exit

Definitely not a big reflection on the crowd.

When he announced these gigs he said he was going to have local acts, guess he changed his mind.

"It’s a fantastic time for music generally – and indeed for country music – in Ireland. Seated at the top of the room, Garth was asked if he would handpick some of Ireland’s emerging talents to support him on the big shows?

“You have to — that’s the fun part of it,” he said."

thanks. I took the plunge and bought the tix

jaysus the queue is horrendous to get in.

Are the queues still bad? I was going to leave it until right before it starts next Saturday but I don't want to be stuck queuing when it starts.

People were saying last night the sound wasn't good. Hopefully tonights will be better.

Croke Park is a horrible stadium for a show.

Will there be any point to bringing my good hat with me tomorrow considering its going to rain? It's a leatger hat and I don't want to ruin it. I also have a wool 'jack murphy' hat. Not a stetson.

Fantastic gig. will be looking for tickets next weekend also

Just finished concert and was sat in Hogan Stand Lower Tier Block 334 fantastic seats! The sound was atrocious! Songs I didn’t know I still didn’t know as I literally couldn’t tell what he was singing! I expected allot better being totally honest and I am a Garth Brooks fan but I wasn’t sure what to expect regarding his concert but for me something was missing and I would of loved like what someone else said is to have local artists with him and sing a medley, what really drove me nuts was after every song he wanted the crowd to clap more and more and I felt like I should be shouting Amen and Praise the Lord with how he carried on - very unusual to feel that way but I hope I am not the only one that felt this. Q’s for the bar were mental! and there was some literally skipping and coming in from all angles as some bars had zero metal barriers. Enjoy anyone going to the next few concerts! Also a tip for anyone with difficulty walking ask for the medical lift to get to the floors you need to - the ticket costs enough and the staff that are there were fantastic! in looking after people with walking difficulties or the elderly.

Heard people stuck queuing outside and couldn't get in when it started.

To be honest, it didn't look like it was organised very well. I was in the queue outside when the gig started .Didn't really bother me, as wouldn't be a die-hard fan. But people were getting very on edge, cause the queues were going so slow. I don't know why it took so long. There was nothing obvious. I noticed the ticket scanning and a lot of the folks in the yellow bibs were young teenagers. They would not have the maturity to realise that a serious situation could arise when you have queues and people that are boozed up. Then when we got into the "hallways", with the long walk to get into the pitch area, again, mayhem and a big backlog of people. I have no idea why. When we got into the pitch area, there was loads of room at the back of the pitch, where the entrances are.

Went for a drink later. There were only about 6 people in front of me. Still took about 20 mins. Don't know what they were at. Of course, when it came to my turn, they ran out of Rockshore.

Really enjoyed the gig though. He is a great performer, and I knew a lot more songs than I thought I did. Great atmosphere at the concert. His fans are really into it. And there was an all-round great vibe amongst the people. I'd love to go again next weekend. Might do so.
