yes but at €800 a return flight to IL with Aer Fungus im holding out to see if i can run a couple together over a week or something. its a pain in the butt not knowing all the dates so I could maximize my airfair and what not or hit cities that are within a few hours (10 or so) drive of each other

paddyirish23

I'm hoping that he will decide to come back with the European leg of the tour but it all remains to be seen..

I'd expect him to have more than the one show in Chicago, more like 5 or more so plan the week around that but best of luck getting tickets!!

Wow. I'm amazed that took five posts.

Well guys, so it's refund time. Any idea what I can do if I bought tickets from a guy on adverts?? The tickets are real before you ask but am I down my money? Any help would be great??

Mrs Garth Brooks

I'm hoping to see him once the madness calms down over there. So Chicago is out.

Also it seems as if he's only giving 6 weeks notice with an announcement of tour dates. E.g. The announcement of Chicago this week and 4th of Sept is 6 weeks later. The idea behind it is to prevent ticket touts from planning ahead. ...But this doesn't give us fans much time for planning.

Can anyone hazard a guess when he'll play over on this side of the world, I won't say Ireland.

Edit: New music is out next week. It is in the states anyways. So you can expect his website and his digital downloads up and running by then.

Wish all the dates would be announced. Hard to plan anything if dates are only announce 7 weeks in advanced, going by the first tour date announcement. Hoping for European dates, would love if one of the dates tied in to hols next year.

Anyone think there is even a small chance of Garth ever coming back to Ireland to tour?

If he bought them in a ticketmaster outlet, you will be able to get the refund yourself as tickets paid for with cash are refunded to ticket holder. Take a look at the ticket and it will have cash or visa etc written on it.
If bought by card, just contact him, you have nothing to lose

Well, I found an American country music magazine, named Country Air Check, dated 14th July 2014. I have it as pdf. I was going to upload the whole thing for you here but the file is too large to upload. So instead here's page 19 from the magazine. New music next week. Whether that is a single or an album, I don't know. But something is on the way anyway. YAY

paddyirish23

Probably the official release of the call with trisha?

Ohhh, I like that.

Its makes sense too, considering he's touring with her in September.

scarlettH

Yeah, I though he said new music on 'Black Friday', anyway, was passing by a pub yesterday and everybody was singing, yes you've guessed it, Garth Brooks

paddyirish23

looks like he's added 3 more dates to his Chicago leg, they just gone up!

Mrs Garth Brooks

Edit: Its now 7 dates with two shows on a weekend night.

Sept 4, 5, 6 with two shows on Sept 6.

And Sept 11, 12 (two shows), Sept 13(two shows), Sept 14

So 10 concerts in total.

Mrs Garth Brooks

And the new music was originally being released for the Dublin concerts but they are holding off until Chicago to release the new single.

So Dublin fceked up everything.

He would have played it for us too.

4 shows in 3 days, that's impressive. If only he had the chance to do that in Dublin.

yes, fortunately he can as it's a different type of show to the ones that would have been in Dublin.

Will be in Chitown at that time, not sure if tickets will be available. But I am damned sure that if 10 dates have been announced for the Allstate Arena, then demand throughout the US is going to be HUGE.... Dublin really F***ed up on this one IMO. Could have been a fantastic gig... but we will never know.

It was mentioned in an interview yesterday that the 10 concerts is just an opening special part of the tour.

But, yeah the demand will be huge all over. I was going to wait until the madness calms down to get tickets but I dont think that will happen.

Or you could snap a ticket up for Electric Picnic and go and see Portishead and Beck.

No thanks, going to Nathan Cather in Galway and James Taylor in the O2. Thats my cup of tea.

When is James Taylor playing in the o2? How is the ticket situation? I would like to go to him.

Than Portishead? I understand it's relative but there's very few bands on the planet that have a show as good as Portishead, never mind Garth Brooks.

yes. i've seen plenty better than Portishead.

can imagine they'll bomb at EP given the crowd and the outdoor main stage.

Just like they did in Glastonbury last year? :rolleyes: One of the highlights of the festival by most people's reckoning.
