The wait pays off for Garth Brooks fans

Nicola Elder and Trish Conroy were the first in Dundalk to get their hands on tickets this morning

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

One of Dundalk’s newest coffee shops, Black & White Living, brightened up the day for Garth Brooks fans in Dundalk today by delivering coffee to them as they queued for tickets.

The Coes Road store, run by local businessman Niall Wiseman, delivered a tray of hot beverages to those waiting patiently outside News & Deli in Park Street for tickets to go on sale at 9am tomorrow for the country superstar’s Croke Park gigs on July 25th and 26th.

This act of kindness follows from our news earlier today that Sevens Coaches are set to provide shelter to those in the queue later tonight by providing a complimentary bus for them.

Meanwhile, thanks to Paddy Mac and Dundalk FM for sharing the below pictures with us of the queue in good spirits as they enter the final 14 hours of their wait, which for some began as early as yesterday morning.
