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?

Were you ever in bed with a fella and he whispered in your ear......."Ah, please, just the tip, I promise".

I'd say a few of the residents around the area were getting that feeling and foresaw what happens next.

That's still only 8 nights. So what?

It's the best and biggest stadium the the country, the 3 gig a year agreement is ridiculous and if anything, that's what should be reviewed.

^^^^^

Its 8 nights, in a stadium used will we say,about 15 times max a year? If residents in places like thomond can take a match every second week for most of the year and a concert, surely so can they..

God forbid they'd a match every second week..

Have you even bothered to do any reading/research into this?
Can you show where the residents of Thomand didn't object to 5 concerts that were to occur in a row?

If you feel that the agreement is ridiculous, fair enough.
But why can't you then criticize those that tried to force through another 5 before ever changing it?

Think you will find Croker has more games a year than Thomond by far Munster have 14 home games and usually one or two are moved to Cork they might have one or two more if they get home quarters etc there might be a handful of other games but they wouldn't attract much by the way of crowds, Croker has Dublin league matches club finals plus a whole host of championship matches all summer long often on saturdays and sundays

I can, and I said the process should be changed going forward. But absolutely no way should those gigs be cancelled and all those people affected.

Plus all of limerick fcs home games, which are nearly every srcond werk, plus senior and junior cup finals.. if youre gonna be pedantic about it.

Theyd actually not be much in it and seeing as croker is the main national stadium youd imagine it should handle a couple more events..

I get the 5 in a row was a push,.but the ones saying theyre.going try and get the 3 licences that wree granted cancelled if they went ahead..

You live bedide a major stadium.. distruption.is going to occur, 3 nights isnt that bad considering.

Well DCC took all submissions into consideration (yes, including the people who live there who also should have a voice/say) and gave permission for 3 nights.

The people are affected due to the promoter and Croker promising something they couldn't guarantee, and likely knew they wouldn't get.
They are the instigators in all of this, and had full knowledge of the issues, which they never informed their customers about.

A.large amount of those wont get more than a couple of thousand if even,, would hardly be called distruption.
Even then its the national stadium, 6 concerts a summer isnt exactly awful

Can we keep this about the concerts, because that's what's causing the issue.

Croker is not the national stadium, it's a privately owned property.

The 5 in a row was more than a bit of a push.
This was already after the 3 in a row for the 1D concerts.

bennyl10 wrote: »

They do live beside a major staium, and they have no objection to it being used for it intended purpose, also with the agreed 3 concerts per year.
To plough ahead with 5 extra concerts, without first coming to an agreement, has resulted in the problems for fans.

Come on now...

I can count 38 events on that list. A large amount wouldn't get more than a few thousand? Please enlighten me as to which events there would only get 2,000 to 3,000 people. I'm doing well to get 4/5.

Jaysus, HardLuckWoman take a breather for yourself.

I used to live beside the SFX venue, and it was a nightmare with all these drunken idiots throwing their empty cans and bottles into our garden. My neighbour Sarah had it worse, because she had a wall, and people would use her garden as a toilet, so I understand where the Croke Park residents are coming from. Much more people to deal with.

Yet again, keep it on topic. If it continues with no actual talk or discussion the thread may be locked until after it is decided what's happening with the gig.
