I was reading the garth brooks forums and someone there reckons his Irish concerts will sell out in 3 minutes.

3 minutes? Is that even possible?

It will sell out as quick as technology allows. i still think that if you want them that bad, then go to shops and Q to avoid failure.

If you go to the shops, you could end up with some worker who shows up late, takes forever to fire up the computer and finds all the tickets are sold out by the time he looks them up. I wouldn't go to a shop unless I had the TM app as a back up and even that's been known to be buggy.

But what if you are a bit back in the Que for tickets? 9/10 ive been very lucky when going for tickets online , although since my internet in the house is crap ill prob end up going into college and using their internet to be on the safe side ha

Technology probably could allow it, people won't allow it sell out in 3 mintues.

Each page in Ticketmaster gives you about 3-10 minutes to complete the page, so technically, the first in line, could probably not have their tickets finalised for 25 mintues, and then could give them up at the last second, making those tickets available. So next Thursday, don't come on here at 9.05 saying "they're sold out, I didn't get any", keep trying

In the shops, the tickets go on sale at 9am, and in my experience, they will have one lad on the ticketmaster machine printing as many tickets as he can, while someone else sells them to customers. So again, if ticketmaster is showing "sold out" and you're in a que at a shop, they probably have a good few printed and redy for sale.

What good is a garth brooks themed wedding, when you can be at a garth brooks concert instead.

Never mind about being a guest, if that was me getting married, i'd call the whole thing off.

so would i. sure you can get married any oul day. No Garth Brooks themed wedding is gonna keep me away from Garth Brooks and any self respecting fan of Garth Brooks is not gonna buy into this crap and STAY at her wedding, unless the poor sods don't get tickets.

I got 1D tickets for my nieces, they were saying at 9:10 they were saying it was sold out but at about 12 o'clock I got 4 tickets. Even if you get to the end and it says no tickets go back in again and queue, I got lucky that way before. Don't give up until you tried and tried again!

What if it was someone in your family getting married??

sunbabe08

heres a picture of a u2 concert in croke park. almost all of the sections in the stands are open so if the stage is similar to this than there will be a load of tickets available.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulmcmillen/5896952888/in/photostream/

theres a gallery at the 2011 take that gig and some sections are cut off in the stand mainly in sections 301, 302, 336,337 and the upper tiers 701,702,736,737 and behind the big screen

Mrs Garth Brooks

I feel so sick looking at those pictures. I want a ticket on the stage itself. Its so so big.

I cant see the stage being as big as it was only that size to cover the construction on the hogan if i remember correctly

Yeah I agree, I doubt they'll do the pitch-length stage again, most likely a stage at the Hill end.

Redevelopment of the Hogan started in 2000 BTW.

According to viagogo, this is the layout that will be used.

Stage wws always going to be in.the hill..

Easiest wqy to.guarantee tickets, from experience of Bruce and seeing the ****storm online throws up, is to go to a local.ticketmaster outlet for aboyt half 5/6am and also.have the app on a phone...

Outlets take numbers before the shop.opens, and begin printing in batches of 6/8 so can end up with in rhe hundreds for when doors open, ensuring at least to fill the crowd outsode.. at least in the Limerick.one.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Delighted to find out that they'll be filming for a dvd in July.

I can go and take it all in and buy it on dvd after. Instead of watching the concert through a camera, if I get that close.

Careful_now!

I haven't been to Croke park in about 20 years. Where is the best place to sit? I'm hoping to go with my 7 year old daughter

Hollywood130

Will be my first time to Croke Park! I've been told the Hogan or Cusack stands are the best, they're either side of the stage, Davin stand is way down the back so I doubt you'd see much from there.

I'm thinking about getting pitch standing tickets, don't think I could site down around Garth!!

sunbabe08

while i could do without being up in the nose bleed section. if i get those seats, i will tolerate it.
