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?

Had tickets for Monday, but jumped on ticketmaster as soon as I heard and got 2 for Sunday night instead. Better tickets than I had originally no less.

Thats the planning permission. After the 4th gig in 09 an agreement was apparently reached. 2 seperate things.
tv3,rte and that independent link all reference the 09 agreement, not the 93 planning permission.

Zardoz

Is the stage going to be on Hill 16 or on the pitch for the gig ?
Looking at Ticketmaster if its on the pitch they are selling alot of tickets with restricted views.

DrPhilG

Block 301 row HH

This is right beside the stage. Anyone have experience of sitting that close? Is there such a thing as too close, IE restricted view?

You have 8 minutes 13 seconds to answer me... :eek:

The three gigs as per the agreement would be the three One Direction gigs as I understand it - therefore any of the Garth Brooks concerts still breaches the original agreement.

There is a possibility he could ask to be paid for all 5, aiken would refuse and he pulls from all of them.. He says he loves Ireland, but in reality he loves money!

This is ridiculous - how long are these residents living around Croke Park? They only seem to be kicking up a fuss now - in fairness, a few days in the year.

Nobody complains down here with the thumping coming from the Marquee every night!

That link was just posted about 5 minutes ago - it's from about an hour before the official confirmation came about which shows were cancelled - so they're not all cancelled.

Garth Brooks Outdoor Event Licence

Today 3rd July 2014 Dublin City Council (DCC) as the licensing authority granted permission for three of the five proposed Garth Brooks Concerts in Croke Park. In making its decision DCC acknowledged that both Croke Park Stadium and Aiken Promotions (Ireland) promote and operate well organised and safe events and that these events make a significant contribution to the economy of Dublin.

The City Council considered all the information submitted by the applicants together with the information outlined at a series of event related meetings convened as part of the statutory process associated with the consideration of this licence application. The submissions/observations from members of the public and businesses were also considered carefully as part of this decision process. A total of 373 submissions were received from members of the public on this licence application.

In assessing the application and having regard to the submissions/observations received, Dublin City Council considered that it would not be appropriate to grant five consecutive nights of concerts as applied for, for the reasons set out below.

Reasons:

The scale, magnitude and number of the concerts with an expected attendance of in excess of 80,000 people per night over five consecutive nights, three of them being week nights is unprecedented for Croke Park Stadium.
Three consecutive concerts have already taken place in Croke Park from the 23rd to 25th of May 2014. Given that Croke Park is situated in a heavily populated residential area, five shows in a row following on from the three concerts already held there this year is considered an over intensification of use of the stadium for the holding of special events/concerts. It would be in effect permitting an increase of 100% in terms of the maximum number of concerts that had previously been held in Croke Park in any given year since the redevelopment of the stadium.
The cumulative effect on residents and on some businesses in the Croke Park and surrounding neighbourhoods, of licencing five shows in a row, three of them on weekdays, would lead to an unacceptable level of disruption to their lives/livelihoods over an unprecedented and prolonged period caused by, concert related noise, access restrictions, traffic disruption, illegal parking and potential antisocial behaviour. The City Council would also be concerned with the precedent that would be created if five consecutive concerts in a row of this scale were licenced.
Having regard to the submissions/observations received and given the number of mitigation measures proposed by the applicant it is considered reasonable and appropriate that three of the events should take place and these have been licensed for the nights of Friday 25th July 2014, Saturday 26th July 2014 and Sunday the 27th of July 2014 subject to conditions. As in all cases licence applications for outdoor events under the Planning and Development Act 2000(as amended) are considered on their individual merits.

It was mentioned on the news a planning application needs to be in at minimum 10 weeks in advance of a show, that came from one of the residents so not sure how accurate that is , sounds reasonable though.

Feel sorry for those with tickets to the cancelled shows, but anger should be leveled where it belongs.

I feel even more sorry for those who have flights booked and were travelling from overseas to the shows, though maybe they can still come and enjoy the city anyway.

they would have better transport links definitely but I dont think transport links are what has held this up. I think its the disruption to the local residents of having people walking past their houses and the noise that would entail along with the general disruption

Kinda my point, If you go to wembley, The meadowlands in new jersey or any other well built stadium, the locals wouldn't even know a concert was on. Between Car parks, Bus drop offs, Stations under the stadium etc the community is barely affected? croker, Not so much.
