He's probably here already and the jet is just coming to collect him.

Oh crap. Dont say that.

Hollywood130

Do keep us updated! You lucky thing, very jealous!

12:04 arrival time in Dublin

Christ will this ever hurry on and happen. I'm on a team of 9 at work and 4 of us want to go but i've told them the announcement is at 2 or 3 (similar to bruce) all the while I've an email to my manager to book time off already typed just to add the dates.

The longer i've to wait though the more chance they'll cop on

Hollywood130

Keep an eye on flight aware! Really hope it's him, the suspense is killing me can't concentrate at work...

aw

Very excited about the imminent announcement.

Tickets will be standard price tickets. It's not feasible to have low prices. Ireland is an expensive place to do business. Expensive place to ship a large stadium stage show to and around.
Can't begrudge Aiken for making a few bob. Without their good relationship with him through the years, he might not even come here, let alone start a tour here!

If tickets are €80 or so, so what. We've waited what, fifteen years for a show?

Oh roll on 11:45 praying it is Garth! I'd say it is why is would he currently be en route to Dublin! Oh I've been waiting for this a long long time!

I have exactly one can of Heineken in my house. If it's not Garth Brooks I shall drown my sorrows with it! I feel that it probably won't be enough if it's not him!

You'll need one for each hand.

If it is Garth Brooks, i hope he doesn't play here on the 2nd last week of June -that's bad from a work point of view for me!

TJ Mackie

Jesus, didn't think it was possible but he has more energy these days than he had back when he was last touring. Only just seen this for the first time.

Its on my favs on YouTube. Have watched about ten times in the last week.

Seriously not in the mood for college today

JumpShivers

More or less been confirmed that it's Garth Brooks now...

Bard

A few heads worth following on twitter for the announcement...

Ken Sweeney (Evening Herald)
Suzanne Byrne (RTÉ)

delbertgrady

Here's a picture of the crowd outside Croke Park...



... in November when they did the Star Wars auditions.

Hollywood130

I'm following them! He still hasn't landed, is there a live stream?

Hollywood130

Ken Sweeney has said on Twitter that it's definitely Garth

TJ Mackie

For those who cant access twitter at work - these are pics from Croke Park (Ken Sweeney).

sunbabe08

Squeal!!!!!!! Listening to 2fm right now

Hollywood130

Oh me too!! Cannot wait!

Harpy

leahyl

He's in Irish air space now! WOOHOO!

Pembily

Iang87

FFS!

Iang87

they'd hardly leave the media sitting for over an hour would they. That ken sweeney lad posted a picture of a lot of reporters waiting twenty minutes ago

matty55

2 fm being fairly vague saying they'll bring news of the announcement at some stage before 1 o'clock. Must be some sort of delay

leahyl

He hasn't landed yet so that's probably the delay....

'course they would!

Story is apparently that Mr. Brooks' is appearing in person and his plane was delayed.

I live across the road from Croker... this close:

... and I'm going nowhere near the place!

ghostdancer

Flight doesn't arrive for another 10mins, press conference won't start until 12:45 at least.

sunbabe08

Is there anyone in dublin airport?

Furious-Red

Even Aiken are not giving a time of the announcement

"It's the one you've all been waiting for" - well if that doesn't scream Garth Brooks I don't know what does!

Furious-Red

Also might be worth checking https://twitter.com/aikenpromotions for announcements

Yeah, there's probably a couple of thousand people there......

Besides the thousands of passengers I mean. Surely there's sum1 there who's taking pics

He won't come through any open area. He'd be straight into a car, on the tarmac. No media would get near him, so what's the point?

Yea he will be rushed onto a limo/car or whatever and probably police escorted to Croke Park

Oh yeah.. hang on, I'll just run over with my camera and stand outside Terminal 2 arrivals...

Hollywood130

Oh the suspense is killing me I know it 99% is him but just want to hear it now at this stage! Then it'll be onto praying that I get tickets!

Don't forget your garth brooks sign, he might think your his lift and hop in the car with you..

Bard

Incidentally, my only interest in the gig comes from the fact that I live across the road from the venue... you couldn't pay me to attend the concert.
