[QUOTE=“carryharry, post: 979437, member: 1517”]A shameful day in Irish History. 400,000 people wanted to converge on the Nations capital to listen to a Line Dancing soundtrack, and what happens? It is royally fucked up after the tickets were sold. Aiken is a promoter, his job is to sell tickets which he did. Croke Park is a venue for Hire and did its business. The residents spoke out which again they are entitled to do.
BUT, the City Council & DCC fucked this up royally. How long has this gig been sold out for? They come out with stipulations at the start of fucking July. Less than a month before showtime. And people call Brooks/Aiken & Croke Park cunts? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
The real loser in all this is the craft beer industry. There were many wealthy and dim yanks coming over with a lot of disposable income who were to be targeted aggressively by the craft beer industry.
Luckily here in Sydney one of the GAA clubs has organised a Garth Brooks night for July 25th, to coincide with the night of the now cancelled first Croke Park concert. I’d expect tickets for that to be going for thousands on the black market now.
How is it being reported there Sid? I’ve heard one report from an Eastern European country where they had an interview with some scobes lamenting they won’t be able to park any cars now and it will cost them big time. What a joke of a country indeed.
