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?

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.

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

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

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.. "

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

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.

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...

Can I have one please. So I can wipe my a.se with it and sent it to Garth.

Nice move by Guinness to announce their sponsorship of the Rugby on the day Garth pulled out and Gay wedding cake controversy.

I hear a rumor he is playing EP instead.

Send a bill to Garth because he loves fans so much .

And the greedy hoteliers whinging " if tomorrow never comes" for their rip off room rates for the 5 nights !

Fortyjocks

Deafening silence from the Brooks camp - no message for the children he has abandoned for the first three nights! At least we know now it was a threat and not a genuine concern for the fans! Anyway I hope all those with expenses for the first three Licensed concerts are forming an orderly queue at the small claims court!

If I was one of the people who where travelling from abroad for his show I would be setting up a website and making him refund them any money they have lost out on because of him cancelling the other 3 shows .

I think Garth Brooks didn't want to be in a situation of going along with a ruling where fans going to the 4th and 5th shows would miss out, through no fault of theirs, if the first three went ahead.

Nonsense. $$$$$ is all he saw. This has nothing to do with concert goers missing out.

Garth Brooks could have had 3 shows which would have made 240,000 people happy but refuses and still people see him as some kind of Jesus.

There is no link. It was announced on the news that they made the offer behind the scenes.

He was offered four licences but only if he would guarantee to play the four.

If he didn't agree to accept the offer then they would no longer offer it.

You couldn't make this crap up.

This whole fiasco is an absolute embarrassment, crazy decisions made by a civil servant who would probably struggle to land a job in McDonald's were he not making a mint costing the economy 10's of millions in the process. Embarrassing.

So tell me if this civil servant "making a mint"should have stood by and allow the laws he is paid to uphold be circumvented by greedy promoters ? Is the GAA & Aiken not at all culpable ?? And as for Mr Brooks- mercenary best describes his attitude !

Nope you get your refund from ticketmaster like any other show that is cancelled .
Garth had three shows that went on sale the first day this is when most of the visitors would have came so he has cancelled them himself so he should refund those people .
