Garth Brooks faces fan backlash after cancelling Croke Park shows

As the Garth Brookes Croke Park concert debate wages on with no clear compromise, fans have began voicing their frustrations with the whole ordeal.

The country singer, who sold out 5 dates at Dublin's Croke Park, was only granted permission for 3 concerts by the city's council - a decision that resulted in Brookes pulling the plug on everything.

Since his controversial decision a refund operation of £21m worth of gigs tickets got underway, but many fans are still waiting and growing increasingly frustrated by the initial disappoint and the delayed refund process.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Chris Smith from Antrim, who had bougth tickets for one of the shows, said: "I did think at the start it was just a stunt to build up hype and was still happy to go, but the longer it dragged on I got fed up with it being on-off-on-off and honestly just want a refund, which is due on Thursday.

"I'm fortunate I won't be out any money but others are not so lucky. I sympathise with them.

"I think Garth, the promoters Aiken and Dublin council jointly deserve blame as they all contributed to this fiasco."

Smith was also reported as saying that while Dublin City Council are accountable, Brooks and Aiken Promotions are also to blame.
