Scramble for tickets to see Garth Brooks in Limerick kicks off
Garth Brooks to play TUS Gaelic Grounds next June
TICKET sales for Garth Brooks’s Irish tour, which includes two nights in Limerick, are under way.
The country music megastar is set to play the TUS Gaelic Grounds on Friday, June 11 and Saturday, June 12.
The Ennis Road venue will be able to accommodate in the region of 45,000 fans per night.
It means potentially up to 90,000 people will see the Grammy winning singer rock out Limerick across two nights next summer.
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 seating.
Alongside Limerick, Garth Brooks is playing eight other gigs in Ireland – two nights apiece in Belfast, Galway, Cork and Kilkenny.
Back in 2014, Garth sold out four nights at Croke Park in just 90 minutes.
Fans across Limerick were gearing up this Thursday morning.
One person wrote: “I am in the queue. Late for school, but however!”
Another added: “It will be my third time and I'm swearing blind all week I can't afford it. But life is short so we will figure it out!! God bless the credit cards ha ha!”
There’s been speculation that should Garth Brooks tickets sell well in Limerick, extra dates could be added at the TUS Gaelic Grounds. The gaps between concert dates - one week between his performances in Limerick, Cork and Kilkenny have only added to those rumours.
Already, it was confirmed this Thursday, shortly after sales commenced, that the singer will be performing an extra concert in Belfast due to huge demand there.
