Garth Brooks in Croke Park

What confuses me is that there were only initially 2 nights planned - which he was more than happy to come across to do. Opportunuty arose to sell more tickets and they grabbed it, but now its 5 nights or nothing.

I agree that certain residents should have expected slight disruption at times if they chose to live near Croker, but they're living beside a sports stadium, not a music venue.

They should cancel all the gigs in Croker and shift the whole lot to a different location.

I've heard Slane being thrown around. Good time of year etc could work.

I'd imagine the owners of slane would only do a one night only thing and if they did I think capacity for all ticket holders might be a problem. 5 nights would be complete chaos with traffic etc


See look at what this man is doing, causing misery and disrupting innocent people lives :@

I've been saying this all along. Garth, or Gareth as a lot of dubliners are calling him, is not making this easy.If he cancels it will ruin his reputation here.

Council were right to cap it at 3 IMO. Greed caused this problem, nothing more nothing less.

Officially cancelled, according to Aiken promotions. Just saw the rte tweet.

It is just me or is it a real Irish thing to do, sell tickets to something you don't have permission to do?

Personally I think all 5 dates should have been granted, surely the benefit to the economy as a whole would have outweighed all the negatives. Thankfully I don't live near the venue but I do live close to a sporting venue that causes traffic madness so I can sympathize with the residents but in fairness that the price to pay for living there

Yes in an ideal world but allowing 5 gigs would then set a precedent. What next 7 gigs?
