The long wait for Garth Brooks tickets paid off this morning for those who had camped outside News & Deli in Park Street for the last two days.

Nicola Elder and Trish Conroy, who were first in the queue in Dundalk, emerged with their tickets for the country superstar’s Croke Park concerts shortly after 9am.

While many more bought their tickets in store or online, there will inevitably be a few disappointed with problems reported on ticketmaster.ie by some people.

For those who have their tickets, Sevens – who provided complimentary shelter to those waiting outside News & Deli last night – have announced they are running a bus to the concerts on July 25th, 26th and 27th, priced €12 return. People can book via sevens.ie or email info@sevens.ie

Garth Brooks fans currently queuing or planning to queue for tickets at News & Deli in Park Street can look forward to some shelter tonight thanks to Sevens Cabs and Coach Hire.

Frankie McRory of Sevens has confirmed that he will be providing a bus for campers outside the Dundalk Ticketmaster outlet from this evening to provide those waiting patiently for tickets with some shelter.

This is not the first time that Sevens have provided this superb act of generosity, having performed the same gesture when One Direction tickets went on sale last year.

The queue for tickets to Garth Brooks’ concerts in Croke Park on July 25th and 26th began early yesterday morning with Trish Conroy and Nicola Elder the first in the queue.
