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?

How so? DCC canncelled two illegitimate concerts legally. Garth Brooks cancelled 3 legitimate concerts.

Hi Happyman, I made this point earlier this week... Garth Brooks, of his own volition (and possibly playing a game of brinkmanship), took the decision that he would not play three gigs that he had permission to play and had agreed to do... he had no right to do this... I always thought he was a decent guy, and I have no idea what he thought he would achieve by doing this...

Did you ever wonder what 'subject to licence' means when gigs are advertised? It means that every major concert follows the exact same practice as Aiken. Logistics, and slow Council responses, dictate this. Yet you'd have us believe that every major gig in the country this summer is "illegal"?

Any concert which doesn't have planning permission is illegal.

DCC admit they offered to grant licences for 4 nights, but only if Brooks agreed but would only offer 3 if he didn't!

That's a disgrace, as it means they were only willing to say they offered 3 licences to save face. If they were willing to offer 4, then they should have made that public, not wait until the GAA / Aitken made the announcement.

The council's actions are a joke and I believe what Aiken / GAA are saying now, where are had doubted it but the only ones backtracking and contradicting themselves now is the DCC.

Why not have it in Marlay Park. Nobody over there seems to complain and its better suited for transport being close to the M50 etc.

Garth Brooks is not a fan of the outdoor arena... he was quoted as saying...

"I'm not big on open spaces,
They want me to move my show to the Punchestown Races,
oh I'm not a fan... of open spay .e. aces.. "

You're having a laugh surely? Worst location possible for a concert, it's a clusterfck to try and get to and from there.

Wouldnt work since they would need to bring in loads of setting since not everyone going would want to stand

The Pontiac

Anais Mitchell is playing Whelans on Nov 6th. Tickets €20

She's without question one of greatest Country/Folk artists on the planet today. Gareth Brooks wouldn't be fit to tune her guitar!

Woodville56

RTE news now saying that Council Planning Authority offered permission for 4 concerts but Brooks management insisted 5 shows or no show !! So much for loving his Irish fan base !! Greed and arrogance all round - GAA/Promoter and Mr Brooks in equal measure !
Totally laughable that Enda Kenny felt it necessary to comment on the matter in the Dail ( has he not more important fish to fry) and The Lord Mayor of Dublin should plead with Brooks to reconsider his pull out from Ireland . More creditable had they said he was no longer welcome here !!

It also takes less than five minutes to realise that according to the agreement upon the redevelopment of the stadium, NO MORE THAN 3 NON-SPORTING EVENTS PER YEAR ARE PERMITTED. That limit was reached with the One Direction concerts earlier this year.

Croke Park should never have been eligible for one Garth Brooke concert, never mind five.

The conditions actually almost guarantee 3 events, once all criteria are met. anything after that, its up to DCC to decide and in this instance they decided 3 more... a very fair decision in Brooks favour you would say....... but he took his ball and said "Im not playing "..... spoilt brat behavior.

He can't go to Norway or Sweden cos they wouldn't buy 420,000 tickets.

Only in Ireland. What an embarrassment this whole fiasco has been.

Yeh, no other country would buy 400,000 tickets......... in all honesty more likely to be about 150,000 or less who actually bought tickets...... a lot of punters were going 2,3 and 4 nights

Cannot understand why Limerick Junction Racecourse is not used for such events. It's next to a mainline station and just like Glastonbury plenty of rain and subsequent mud. Catering contractors could provide food and toilets etc.

How?

Planning permits three non-sporting events per year, already used for One Direction. Aiken/GAA got greedy and got stung, end of.

You could say Garth brooks is a greedy multi multi millionaire . After all he got the go ahead for 3 gigs . He can have two of them next year problem solved .
