    Anyone know whats happening with refunds?

    I know they'll keep the booking fee.

    Its says on their website that they will refund the ticket price and any per ticket service charge. Does that not mean they will refund the booking fee?

    Ok il simplify :). An airport Is likely to be daily noise pollution 24/7 365 days of the year. Garth brooks playing a few gigs is 5 days in these persons lives. Why not go on holiday with the money being offered and come back when Garth has come and gone :)

    What money was being offered or are you talking rubbish again? The 'legacy' fund mentioned by the mediator was never cash-in-had for the locals.

    Might do indeed, I'd imagine they'd be open to a legal challenge if they didn't.

    Is it going to be automatic?

    Fair play that they won, credit where its due, however I still disagree with their stance and i hope they don't go through with the court case now as well
    this was the councils decisian, the residents will try make a victory out of it but really it was stopping the lot they wanted

    That agreement should be torn up and shoved up the residents holes.

    It's unreal that an 80,000 capacity stadium will sit empty while Ireland turn away the biggest acts in the world and all the money that comes with having them over here, all for a few grannies in some poxy residents association.

    Ridiculous.

    Nope it's an agreement and the gaa / croke park can't do that . They knew it would go to DCC to make a decision and they chose to cancel two gigs .
    The gaa knew about said agreement but yet bullishly moved on with their plans to have 5 nights . They should have went with 3 nights in croke park and then move it elsewhere for 2 more nights . But nope the gaa / croke park where being greedy and got stung badly .
    So you can't blame the residents association for the muppetry of the gaa / croke park .

    Ownership or it's purposes are irrelevant simple man. Residents are concerned with the disruption pure and simple. A concert lasting a few days although frustrating goes away after a few days. I don't know many residents are affected but it's bad form to deprive 160,000 people of a bit of happiness for a couple of nights. Seems very cold hearted IMO.

    The residents were offered money were they not?

    Nope, A "legacy fund" of €500,000 was offered and refused. No actual payment to the residents.

    Fair play to the residents. The right side won on this occasion. I wonder if the fans will turn on the big man if he pulls out of the other shows or will they blame the residents for that as well.

    Just don't announce which two are being cancelled until the day of the concert.

    Problem solved. :D
    good idea, the fans could still turn up to croke park and have an old sing song, shur thats a grand idea

    What are you on about? Obviously the demand was there the 5 nights were sold out. The three original concerts were sold out in record time and touts were mopping up with huge prices for tickets..

    1) 5 nights were not sold out.People could still buy tickets for the Monday and Tuesday today.
    2) If the first 3 nights sold out in record time why was some poster here able to buy tickets for the Sunday night earlier today?

    Busy airports, restaurants, hotels, pubs, hairdressers, beauty salons, buses/taxis to name a few! It was huge for the city and country.

    Dublin isn't our economy. It generates revenue for Dublin but there is a net loss for our economy when Garth Brooks leaves with his cut.

    lol. They most certainly will not get train, hotel and plane refunds.

    Irish rail will give 80%, hotels if booked directly generally 100%.

    Have you ever been on a train?

    Because as I said additional tickets became available at a later date when final stage plans etc were known. The first three nights were sold out for the capacity that was officially available at the time.

    Proper order. Delighted for the residents.
    its not "proper order" croke park would have been legitimately within their rights to host the 5 if they wanted to, still, the residents failed to stop the lot

    You will have all the people coming from down the country getting their hair/nails done, hiring local buses to come to Dublin so that is everyone getting something. Also getting something out of Garth is better than nothing now if the 5 are cancelled.

    That's standard practice, Ticketmaster often release more tickets (without fanfare) closer to the date of the event.

    If you keep trying you can often get tickets for 'sold out' events.

    Garth Brooks cut would be very small in comparison to the amount of money pumped into Pubs, hotels, restaurants etc.

    I hate Garth Brooks but my god this is a fine example of selfishness.

    Crazy how they pulled it off. Would 2 more nights be so bad? This tool makes some people very happy.
    i don't think it was ever about the concerts, but the residents associations vendetta against the GAA and croke park, still as i said, they failed to stop them all, we got the majority

    Using what money? The money they'll spend in their town instead, Plus the money from getting their tickets refunded. It's probably gonna be better for the economy now there's an extra €7 million or so floating around.

    This is going to have a massively negative impact on Garth Brooks hats, scarves and headbands. Might send us into another 'cession.

    Play play to the residents. The right side won!

    Feel for the fans, Aiken should have never sold them tickets when a license wasnt in place.

    As an innocent bystander/messer on this thread who couldn't care less either way, I genuinely thought all 5 would go ahead.

    There must have been many sleepless nights for some recently.

    In fact, why don't we just grind those grannies up and feed them to the poor?
