All three dates for the Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event sold out this morning.
In excess of 10,000 people queued around the country at Ticketmaster outlets and the entire 240,000 tickets sold out in 90 minutes. This is the first time that an artist has sold out three dates at Croke Park in one day.
Bob Doyle, Garth Brooks manager said "We're thrilled. Peter Aiken, his team and Ticketmaster have done an amazing job."
"In 52 years of business this is the fastest selling concert Aiken Promotions have ever been involved in." Peter Aiken said.
The Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event will take place on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July 2014 at Croke Park.
