Garth Brooks Limerick ticket prices, Ticketmaster sale times and presale code details

THE stage is set for a ticket frenzy this Thursday morning as Garth Brooks fans prepare to secure their spots at either – or both – of his two Limerick gigs.

Laptop computers and smartphones will be at the ready long before 8am, the time that sales commence on Ticketmaster.

Peter Aiken, of concert promoters Aiken Promotions, confirmed that tickets for the gigs at TUS Gaelic Grounds, and across Ireland, will be priced at €136.25 for standing tickets, and €156.25 for seats.

Garth Brooks is playing 10 gigs in Ireland – two nights apiece in Belfast, Galway, Limerick, Cork and Kilkenny. It will be Friday, June 11 and Saturday, June 12 when he rocks out in Limerick.

There are no pre-sale codes available.

This Thursday, all the queuing will be done virtually on the information superhighway. It’s a far cry from as recently as 2014 when people queuing up outside shops for tickets was very much a thing.

Steve Gleeson, of Gleeson’s Sports Scene, was one of the retail outlets which had a Ticketmaster desk to assist fans seeking a golden ticket for the Garth Brooks’s eventually-abandoned Croke Park gigs in 2014.

The singer had planned to play five gigs at the GAA stadium that year but those proposals were abandoned after only three of the gigs secured a licence from Dublin City Council.

"There were people camped there over two or three nights. People arrived with flasks, camp chairs and sleeping bags,” Steve recalled. “Our system broke down, but there was still an awful lot of them sold over our counter”.

For devoted Garth Brooks fan Tricia Hayden, from Annacotty, the news that the country music legend is coming to Limerick is nothing short of a dream come true. So strong is her love for the singer that she travelled to Buffalo, New York to see him in concert after the 2014 gigs in Dublin were cancelled.

She’s “super-excited” to see the singer on her home turf.

“He was just incredible live - such a showman! It was truly the best night, the whole crowd was enraptured by him. To have a performer of his calibre come to Limerick is just incredible for the city. Any fans who haven’t seen him live before have no idea what they’re in for, it will be amazing. I just hope I get tickets!”

Mayor John Moran admits it's his mother Bridie who perhaps has more of a grá for the Garth than him.

But he added: “This is absolutely fantastic news for Limerick, and it’s wonderful to see our city once again confirming its place on the international music tour map. It’s a fantastic boost for the city, our local businesses and the hospitality sector, and another great opportunity to showcase everything Limerick has to offer.”

The country music star last played Ireland in 2022.
