Residents' anger over Robbie Williams tickets give-away07/06/2006 - 18:01:14

 

Disgruntled residents from Dublin’s Croke Park region today hit out at the way the free tickets for Robbie William’s concert were handed out to the community.

 

Ahead of the pop star’s Friday night gig, residents called for a better system to be put in place after hundreds of people spent hours queueing in a bid to avail of the tickets set aside for locals.

 

Marian Bradley, who is from Clonliffe Road and a member of a residents’ committee, claimed: “There is an unruly system in place people are going up and walking away with eight tickets when it should be just two per household.

 

“There is panic now.â€

 

But Peter McKenna, Croke Park Stadium director, said no person received any more than two tickets with each person having to present a household bill and identification.

 

“€140,000 worth of tickets were given to the local community which is unheard of in any other stadium in Ireland or Europe,†he said. “What we would prefer to do is make a local donation into the community because no matter how many tickets we give out someone will be left disappointed.â€

 

Ms Bradley said the residents should be treated better due to the hardship they encounter due to concerts and football matches being held at Croke Park.

 

“We have all the dirt and filth after the concerts, bottles thrown into gardens and people urinating in gardens,†Ms Bradley, who was looking for Robbie Williams concert tickets for herself and her son, said.

 

“We can’t even take out cars out on match day. And elderly people are prisoners in their own homes.â€

 

The Croke Park Stadium gave out 1,600 tickets worth €140,000 in two lots - with 800 distributed from the ticket box at the stadium in the early morning, and the remainder in the afternoon.

 

“The ticket booth opened and distributed all 800 tickets, other people wanted to wait. If people wanted to queue that is their right to queue,†Mr McKenna said, adding wristbands were given out so people could return home and come back.

 

Ms Bradley said many of the hundreds of people queueing would be in favour of the tickets being raffled like for last summer’s U2 concerts.

 

“The raffle had its own idiosyncrasies too, a lot of the applications got, despite of all the checks and balances, tend to be bogus so we thought it would be better if people came face to face. No matter how many tickets we give out they are not going to satisfy everyone,†the stadium director said.

Notwithstanding the reported problems, that's a nice idea I think. If Scotty hadn't told me Croke Park was in a horrible area I might have considered buying a house there! :lol:

Sorry to put a dampener on things, but this is just posted as a safe guard incase anyone is thinking of buying tickets outside the venue on Friday.

 

Warning over fake Robbie tickets

 

Robbie Williams fans are being warned to watch out for dud tickets that are currently in circulation for his upcoming Croke Park gig.

 

The 2000 forgeries have a distinctive orange colour and only genuine tickets with a special bar code and a blue background will be valid.

 

It is thought the fakes are the work of professionals.

Hope to see some of you there on Friday. I am the one that looks the same as someone else, who looks like me. :cry: :drink:
