Garth Brooks Comeback Special ALL 5 SHOWS CANCELLED READ FIRST POST

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?

No it was the first time its been done. They came to the line at 6am and wanted the first 20 but nothing to do with ticket sales. I smell a meet and greet

Ah right, I thought you meant whilst actually buying the tickets.

Managed to get 4 standing for Sunday, while my mother got 2 for saturday, delighted.

Sorry if this pic has been posted already but (if true, probably not) those of who who didn't get tickets can consolidate knowing that this chap got his and...

Ryan Giggs?

Could be worse I suppose

Can any one tell me what cusack stand row u block 302 seats 23-28 are like?

Mellor

Here's the seat map.

Block 302 is the second block from the stage. Row U would be the 21st row.
So pretty good seats.

Surely with his name and address they could cancel the tickets he bought.

larrymiller

Just been on eBay people are bidding away on tickets I can't believe the demand! I almost feel guilty I got 2.

i'm after saying this to her so many times today. i have friends who didn't get any tickets

Me and 3 others had plenty of pcs and laptops out for a mate today because the demand was going to be huge and yet some people complain because they got tickets in a section of the ground they don't want to be in . That makes me feel very annoyed for my friend .

RoyalCelt

Would he be allowed to put on another 1 or 2 concerts on say the weds, thurs or monday? Would croke park be allowed to do that?

And wow 250k tickets sold in an hour. It's scary how much the Irish like him...

Its nearly as mad as their love for Smokie back in the mid 1980s, they had a bunch of hits back in the mid 1970s, I more or less forgot all about them after that. When I came over with folks on holiday in the 1980s and couldn't believe it, the North West was going crazy for this band, OK, not the same scale as Garth here, but a daft nugget of info from the past.

Jofspring

They could be pushing it by trying to get another gig on with 3 one direction concerts and 3 Garth Brooks ones.

Come down to Limerick and play the Gaelic Grounds I say. The capacity should be in around the 45,000-50,000 mark I would imagine. Thomond Park would be excellent too but not sure if 30,000 would be enough.

Spent two hours online this morning with no success. I really hope another one is added. It might devalue the touts tickets a little bit at least.

:D it's a box i can tick off my bucket list

That's a genius idea and hope they do it. No interest myself but it would be great if Limerick/Cork/Kerry got a gig. Great for the towns and great for the local economy. Hope they do it!

Seems to be plenty going for asking or slightly above asking on DD.
I think a lot of people got caught up in the panic and purchased 6 when they actually only needed 2 or 3. I don't think anyone who wants to go to this will have to pay much over face value.

Well if you get them now then yeah but the longer you leave it the higher the price will be i'd imagine.

A lot of them are fake adds. Friend has been calling around all day and 6 different adds were fake and no tickets available

It is but its also should be noted the probable amount of buyers from all other countries. These are his only international dates in 2014 announced for the first time in over 15 years. In a way it's kind of unfair on some Irish fans!

Imagine if the Stones, U2, Springsteen, Prince, Madonna etc hadnt toured in 17 years and announced an initial 2 dates in a year!!

10/12 nights in Croker with all nationalities in??

No. That is one of the last free weekends before the GAA season gets serious and Croke Park have a deal with local residents. No more than 3 concerts in 14 days. Garth and 1D could sell out a week no problem but 3 nights is max.

Tbh I think Belfast would be a more likely host than anywhere down south. Nowhere in Ireland has a venue big enough outside Croker really. And people are forgetting. This is a comeback special and his world tour won't be in full swing until 2015 and I think after this sell out we might just get another Dublin date. I don't know why people are panicking. He will definitely do a UK gig on his word tour in 2015/2016 so there will be loads of opportunities.

It wasn't an hour. About 2 hours.
People selecting 6 tickets would have gotten "unavailable" messages long before they actually sold out.

I can't seem to find his 1997 concert on youtube. Does anyone know if its on there or even any songs from the concert with footage?

DesertMoon

I'm so depressed - my only hope is that they release more tickets!

I am sickened by touts and the prices they are selling at. GB himself wanted to keep prices down to make his show accessible for all his fans, now many fans have no tickets and I for one cannot afford the prices on ebay.

2 should be the max....end of..!!!

TIME THE GAELIC GROUNDS AN MCD VENUE. Garth is Aiken. WILL NOT BE THERE

For Thomond has to be week after Croke, won't be August.

Ticket touting is NOT allowed in this forum or any forum on the Music category. People are being banned from the forums for doing so. Please REPORT any breaches of the charter and the mods will sort it out ASAP.

However some user are quoting the breach of charter. The problem with this is that the quoted post is still in breach of charter but is not being removed as the Mods may not have seen it.
Please don't quote posts that you report. That is simply breathing life into the spam. Report it and trust to the mods to deal with it when they can.

Thanks all for reporting ticket trading posts, we do appreciate it and it really does help.

That's really easy to say when you have a ticket.

Everyone should start mailing the touts and agree to meet up to buy the tickets. This weekend is perfect for it, it'll be cold and wet. Obviously don't turn up. At least make it difficult for them to sell and cost them a few bob in petrol

It was released on DVD a few years ago. It's named "The Entertainer". Not sure if it's on youtube but there are torrents available.

Saw this clip on facebook (apoligies if the link doesn't work)
