Nearly a half a million tickets have been sold already
Garth Brooks is releasing nearly two thousand more tickets to all five of his Dublin, Ireland shows for September. The country superstar spent Monday (June 13th) morning chatting with the Irish press about the release of additional tickets that will go on sale Thursday, June 16th at 8 am GMT/3 am ET/midnight PT via Ticketmaster.
“Production releases, if you don’t know what those are, it’s when you know you’re gonna film something so the director puts cameras everywhere and then the on sale happens. And then when the director finally sees what they’ve got to work, then he or she decides to pull cameras or move cameras… Then all of a sudden these seats come up. Where the cameras are are the greatest views on the planet,” Brooks shares on Facebook. “So those production holds are being released Thursday for all five nights. So again, if you’re thinking about Ireland, I wouldn’t think about getting a ticket over there because they were gone. Over 400,000 of ’em were gone like in an hour, two hours or three hours over there. It’s just a crazy place to come and see us, but it’s also the very end of The Stadium Tour as a whole.”
The Irish Mirror reports that Brooks will document the Ireland shows with a Netflix documentary, although no further details have been revealed.
“You can’t come to Ireland without bringing every piece of camera film capturing any devices, audio, is because it’s the place on the planet to play,” Brooks tells Irish radio host Ray D’Arcy on RTE Radio One.
“So I don’t know if you guys know this but it’s, it’s like heaven for players. So we brought everything we can to capture this.
“And so when you do you reserve some spaces, because there’s gonna be people sitting behind cameras and then once you lay it out now that you know where people are going to be and what stage looks like, then all of a sudden there’ll be some tickets that you held so you aren’t in people’s way that now ends up to be the best seats in the house.
“So it’s, it’s pretty cool. I love production releases because it gives the people who didn’t get a chance to get them that waited and waited like everybody else but just didn’t get the luck of the draw. Now it gives them a chance to get even better seats.”
In November 2021, Brooks sold more than 400,000 tickets to all five shows at Dublin’s Croke Park which is the finale of the three year long trek that has been postponed numerous times due to the pandemic. A feat done by Brooks in 2014 to start the Comeback Tour in Dublin, but due to unforeseen circumstances, all five shows were canceled.
Brooks teased the final North American Stadium Tour date will be announced this week. The Stadium Tour resumes this weekend with two more sold out shows in Salt Lake City that follow 2021’s summer sold out concert at Rice Eccles Stadium, two sold out appearances in Edmonton on June 24th and 25th, two sold out shows in Charlotte on July 15th and 16, his first time playing the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo, NY on July 23rd; and his first-ever headlining show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, which has been confirmed as his second-to-last US stadium show.
Brooks is opening Friends in Low Places Honky Tonk and Bar sometime later this year. He has launched exclusive bar-branded merch along with a website and social media accounts to share grand opening details.
