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.

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?

Didn't he play three Croke Parks the last time?

Wouldn't mind seeing him at the 10,000 capacity part of the Phoenix Park.

i asked a guy at the ticket master desk 3 weeks ago in merchant's quay and he said it was definite for gigs here in ireland. he said it might be the RDS seriously would love if he came down to cork for the Marquee. but it might be to small.

JP Liz V1

I hope he does the Inec or Marquee Cork

scudzilla

Rule Croke out, only allowed 3 gigs per year and 1D have them sewn up

Furious-Red

Way to big for Marquee or inec . It will be outdoor shows if he is around during the summer

Is Pairc Ui Chaoimh getting a revamp now to host more artists maybe here so

Mrs Garth Brooks

Some lad on After Hours was saying venues are already booked for next summer. He said this in July. He must have had some inside information.

He also said that tickets would be on sale before Christmas!

Cant wait.

I'd like to believe him. Wishful thinking!

If its true that he's playing next summer, we would have to get the announcement by the end of January. Otherwise I think we may be waiting until 2015 :-(

Have any of you heard him singing lately? His singing voice is gone unlike his heyday

Have you heard the new song released in America? Its brilliant.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Heard a radio interview he done today. He wants his tour to be bigger and better than what he's done before.

Furious-Red

If they wanna get the christmas market they better announce it asap

Mrs Garth Brooks

Update: He did a radio interview in the states today and he said that they would release more details about the tour in the next 6-8 weeks.

He better come here.

Furious-Red

He could easily spread the tour out? and leave Europe till 2015?

aw

If that's the same comment I'm thinking of, his 'friend' works in Aiken and said they are aiming for something like Springsteen's outdoor mini tour this summer:
Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Belfast, Dublin.

Mrs Garth Brooks

We'll find out after xmas. We would have to, especially if he plays in the summer.

Stadium shows like this never really happen in winter. If he does play here in 2014, it'll be sometime in June-August.

Otherwise it'll be another year.

What are the chances of starting his tour in Ireland/Europe?

He has always said that he wouldnt tour until his youngest finished school which will be June 2014.

I thought he would start his tour in America by late June at the earliest. But if he starts there, we wont see him here next summer.

Its a waiting game now. If we dont hear anything by the end of January, its not going to happen here.

I cant wait. It'll be my first time seeing him live and im going to all the venues he'll be at.

Also, im a massive fan of him, can you tell? But I follow the news from a Garth Brooks forum in the USA. There's an album on the way in Spring. Yay!

ciaramc

Cant wait to see him live. Missed him in Vegas 2 years in a row by a week each time I was there. Roll on the tour.

Maire2009

Can't wait for this - he would be far too big of RDS/Marquee. Hopefully he does a stadium tour akin to Bruce's this year. Thomond would be handy for me

JP Liz V1

Is he doing shows like Bruce did last year other venues besides Dublin as in Cork, Limerick and Kilkenny?

Every time this thread comes up, i get all excited. :o

Sorry

sunbabe08

lol it's ok. i'm just getting to excited about this concert

Mrs Garth Brooks

I think an announcement will be made very soon. Maybe next week.

Just got a text of my sister letting me know of a big radio announcement due on Monday. I didn't hear it.

Some teasing giving us names like the boss, garth brooks and someone else. Concert in croke park.

Thats all the info so far.

From reading all these rumours, pieceing it all together and I know we would definately know by the end of january, maybe first week in february at the latest.

I think this is it. We'll know Monday before noon.

I think they mean by phone. Doubt he'd come to Ireland to plug it.

in person means in person, if it's Brooks then he'll be there, and for over 5million Euro gate receipts per gig at Croker of course he'll be there.

Best chance to meet him cos it's gonna be all nice and happy for promo purposes

Furious-Red

Well MCD flew Bon Jovi over to Ireland for the Slane announcement

From Will Leahy FB
