Will tomorrow ever come: Queuing for Garth tickets

As freezing temperatures chilled them to the core last night, hundreds of diehard Garth Brooks fans probably often wondered would tomorrow ever come.

In particular, the likes of Rob Coyle, a father of two from Limerick City, who started queuing outside Gleeson’s Sports Scene on William St at lunchtime on Tuesday for tickets for the country music star’s July concerts in Croke Park.

In Cork, Terrie Drummond from Glanmire, took up her position outside Merchants Quay Shopping Centre at 7am yesterday. “I absolutely love him,” she said. “Back in 1994 when he was here and playing the O2, my dad would not let me go because I was too young. In 1997 I was on holidays when he was here. This time I am definitely going to get a ticket.”
