MOD:
Dear Everyone.

Ticket swapping, selling, buying or trading are not permitted in the forum and that covers implied sales too.

Anyone trying to shift tickets on the forum will be banned.

Telling us something like "I have 10 tickets and I hope I'll be able to use them all" or similar ruses is implying that you are willing to sell tickets and you will be banned.
Please don't try getting around the ticket trading section of the forum charter because I'll just ban you.
I will err on the side of hard-headed in any ambiguous cases and ban you till after the concerts.

MOD NOTE 28 JUNE 2014

I genuinely hate doing this. But if people can't be civil to each other, this thread will be locked at first for 24hours and then longer.

Stop bitching.

There was a decision made. From here on talk about the concert only, not the circus around it's planning permission, if you want to do that, there's a Dublin forum

===========================================

No personal insults please. Keep things friendly. I do not want to have to close this thread again.

Doom

===========

So Garth Brooks has finally confirmed he is going on tour in 2014. Will there be an ireland date and if so which venue would you like to see him play?

ONLINE TICKET ORDERS

Friday Ticket Link: http://www.ticketmaster.ie/garth-brooks-dublin-07-25-2014/event/18004C3DC0C02F99?artistid=732705&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=2

Saturday Ticket Link: http://www.ticketmaster.ie/garth-brooks-dublin-07-26-2014/event/18004C3DC0C92F9D?artistid=732705&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=2

What usually (always) works for me with high demand events is, have the ticket page your going to be ordering from (ie one of the above) open well before everyone starts logging on, make sure your all signed in etc and on that page.

1-2 seconds after 9am, click refresh once and wait patiently.

Then fill in what tickets you want, how many, click find tickets once.

Wait very patiently and don't click anything, you are in a queue so just wait till it spits out tickets that are offered.

Fill in all details required and finalise order

Main think is only ever click things ONCE and wait patiently.

could you have say, the friday and the saturday page both open in seperate tabs. Would that work?

A hotel is overkill. If you don't trust your own Internet go to a webcafe or a Starbucks or similar. Webcafe probably would be the best as you'll have someone nearby you can ask for help if there is a problem. If there is a problem with the hotel Internet you won't get support quickly.

Also while I thought there would be a good boost to tourism and the economy thanks to this gig I didn't imagine it would impact the emigration figures but there you go. If only the Troika had convinced Garth to get out of retirement back in 2009 we'd have been out of recession a lot sooner.

I live in the back arse of galway. Sh!te reception half the time. I know of one internet cafe and its dead slow and not sure if its open early in the morning. There's another one but again im not sure if its open early.

And by the time i get into Galway city for good reception, wifi internet, it'll be 8.30am. I think i should be set up by that time and not be wandering around town looking for places thats open.

Really, Galway is crap.

But I found my hotel. Great and fast internet. And there's better phone reception here if the hotel's internet fails tomorrow morning. One of them is sure to work. Shopping for tickets in the comfort of a hotel room! Its soooo worth it, trust me. Well ask me that tomorrow.

Im almost prepared. Im off to buy a new laptop battery and charger. That has even failed on me before. Not taking any chances.

She's in galway though. It would be hard to find an internet cafe open at about 8.am/8.15 am even 8.30 for preparation before 9. Hell, it would be hard to find a place open at 9.

Seriously why are people panicking!? Get on at 9am tomorrow and you'll get a ticket. Hes not gonna shift 120,000 odd tickets in a few mins!!! I dont think its ever been done before!!?

I reckon there are more without credit cards than without internet access. But I was saying you probably can pay some other way, with virtual credit cards.

Queuing is sort of a tradition for some people, some enjoy the group mentality & comradery of it, I remember seeing teenagers and people in their 20's singing outside HMV on a friday night a few times, with sneaky naggins & cans. Now in the summer that's fine for kids, but I can't get over these middle aged people outside in the freezing cold. If you have no CC and you value your time you're better off paying the government levy for a 1 off purchase!

You see people like this outside arnotts or DID or the likes, saving €1000 of the price of a plasma or something in january sales. But this is nonsense.

Gimme that any day over the idiots who think a 6 inch gap between you and the person in front is a "free space" or that the best way to carry four beers through the pitch is overhead, or that high heels are acceptable footwear because they've never been to a gig before. But sure they're only "having the craic"

can anyone pls tell me why the wheelchair section is so far back in croke park could they not put it near the front for them...that's a joke very unfair (my opinion)

Isn't the wheelchair section usually elevated? It would be unfair to the vast majority to have an elevated stage blocking their view so usually they put it at the back or the sides.

The event pages have been set up for the gigs and it shows that there's going to be a standard set up for the stage at Croker. There won't be allocated section like at the 1D gigs.

Looks like there isn't zones on the pitch like one direction have

EDIT: That info is now gone again.... must be working on it

Crap, I don't want to be allocated a section on the pitcht when I buy a ticket because no way in hell will i get a front block tomorrow and i want to be near the front at a concert. Was hoping to show up early on the day of the concert.

toast, you make a very good point

Mrs Garth Brooks

Oh quick, more people queue.

A very small amount probably are people who are unable to use the Internet due to lack of access to it. The rest are misinformed or following misinformed people. Online trumps shop no matter what way you cut it.

Even if the owners of the shop take orders in advance from the line and print the tickets out they start ordering at 9am same as online. They've one system to do that on for 100+ people. While online each person can order simultaneously.

It is like the difference between a traffic jam on a one lane dust road versus a jam on a motorway with 100 lanes. At least with the 100 lane motorway there are a 100 people getting out of it at the top at a time.

100 people you no longer have to worry about competing with online.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I thought i'd be time enough queueing. But im not. There's a good few in the queue in galway.

I dont stand a chance queueing.

Oh God.

And my internet went down this morning. Cant take any chances.
