Brooks to chase the blues away for hotels

Hoteliers and online touts are set to make a killing as a third Garth Brooks date for next July sold out in just 90 minutes.

More than 10,000 people queued around the country for tickets to see the country star, with all of the 240,000 tickets selling out.

Peter Aiken of Aiken Promotions said it was the first time an artist had sold out three dates at Croke Park in one day.
