Yes that'd be about right, maybe a little longer. Nearest stop for Croker would probably be Busaras or Connolly and then it's maybe a 2km walk from there.
Thanks. Went ahead and booked Q-Park. Far less spaces than the Clonliffe park so shouldn't take as long to get out. And half an hour should get me back to Saggart, no way I'm packing into a packed Luas for over an hour!
Especially if there are any of those smelly country scummers on board...

No bother.
All sorted now, B&B booked in Saggart for €110 (Saturday and Sunday nights, Q-Park booked for the Sunday all day.
Just need to book some flights somewhere nice for the Monday morning now! 5th wedding anniversary so hoping to head off somewhere for 4-5 nights after the concert.

Yep, so they usually end up shouting, so even worse.chatting during a gig? sure you can barely hear any one
With lots of big acts many people will go "just to say they saw them", as garth rarely plays it will attract people like this. Its sort of similar to people not visiting scenic places in their own country, since they reckon they will always get the chance to do it anytime they want.
Some will rave about seeing a band, and the next time they come its "I won't bother sure I saw them before", sort of a like a bucket list, crossing them off their "one to see" list.
At springsteen I saw loads of people talk all over the songs, especially slower ones where they can be heard, and ruin it even moreso for people who do know the quiet/slow song. Then they perk up only when born in the usa comes on.
The promoters can be to blame partly too. e.g. when the film hurricane came out it had the bob dylan song in it. He NEVER plays this live, yet in the TV adverts they were playing it, inferring it is likely to be played and other greatest hits, he does play his hits but often very different versions, which many would not recognize at first.. So you had people in the audience roaring out "hurricane" at him. I think similar happened with neil young, the tv ads inferred it would be a greatest hits and he only did 1 or 2 that you would find on a best of.0 -

Which is what it is and which is exactly how it should be treated
:D
LOL sure most of us will be up there for 3 days straight, or even 5 days between sleeping in their hotels, spending our money in their city. at least with this gig there won't be screaming and wailing cry baby teenagers running riot. not all of us are idiots from the country.Lukehandypants wrote: »How come all you fans had to que for tickets and not just buy em off the Internet?

ugh, that would be soo annoying. it's on my bucket list sure to get to see garth brooks live, it doesn't matter where he was playing in Ireland i was going, because i've been a fan for 20 years now. i know when he comes back in 2015 i will be going again. if i hear some one "will he play friends in low places or the dance or if tomorrow never comes already, there will be war.Or Cork

apologies for that but 95% of people from the country i have met and dealt with have this attitude , i use to work in retail too and they were the exact same , minus the p*ssing every where :P
But.. its the right attitude.. and gets rid of the 'dublin is amazing' attitude dubs seem to have
Bruce had at least learned that its a ****hole and showed common sense last year 0 -
If you don't think there'll be event junkies at these gigs you're being very naive. As I said, if you're standing you can move away but if you're sat beside them they can ruin the night.
lol this happened to me and my brother at a gig before lol he just kept turning to them in the seat beside them and kept screaming the lyrics of the song in ther faces , putting his arm over them shoulder to shoulder and all thins , just being annoying funniet thing iv ever seen him do , got to the point where the lad physical pushed him off and everyone around us literally told them to shut the fcuk up them , and explained how annoying you can be without noticing!!!! 0 -

you're painting us "country" folks under the same brush AVA
You obviously had a bad experience. but not all of us are like that.
That's it. Not everybody will be out to cause havoc.
Can I ask something please?
How did people get on queueing?
I queued the night before last in Galway. It was a good night and the crowd were lovely. All looking out for each other. One lovely lady passed around tins of roses. Another lady went down the queue in the morning with a bin bag asking for rubbish and collecting it. There was no sh1tting and p1ssing in the streets either. There were public toilets up the road in Eyre Square and we went about minding each others places in the queue. They were a lovely bunch of people and there was no fighting or anything.0
