As excitement mounts about the visit of Garth Brooks to Ireland next year, Ticketmaster has revealed the prices for the two concerts that have been announced.
Tickets before booking fees are priced at €65.56 for general area standing, and €81 for seated. Bookings will have a ticket limit of eight per person.
Tickets for the concerts on Friday, September 9, and Saturday 10, 2022, will go on sale from Ticketmaster on Thursday, November 25, at 8am.
Aiken Promotions announced on Thursday morning that the US country superstar would play the two dates in Croke Park stadium in Dublin.
Fans who can't make the two announced dates will be hoping that further concerts are announced for a second weekend.
That would address the crux of Brooks' issues with previous gig announcements in 2014 - when Croke Park residents objected to an extended run of five gigs after an agreed quota of outdoor stadium shows had been fulfilled.
The issues caused the singer to ultimately withdraw from his bookings, leaving hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the island disappointed, and the city's businesses out of potential pocket to the tune of millions.
It was an extended political headache, going as far as Brooks asking then-Taoiseach Enda Kenny to intervene in local planning and licensing laws as a matter of urgency, while the matter was discussed at Leader's Questions in the Dáil.
These dates for the Friends in Low Places singer follow several US stadium gig cancellations this year, in the wake of fresh Covid-19 outbreaks in major live-event markets - and are being marketed as his only European gigs next year.
Brooks, 59, released his 14th studio album in 2020, and also sang Amazing Grace at US president Joe Biden's inauguration in January of this year. The Tulsa-born singer is expected to travel to Dublin next week to announce further details of the concerts.
