Mr. Peter Aiken:

I am out seven figures on this. Garth Brooks will be out millions of euro. He had a film company coming too. That company will get paid. One can work it out. There were to be 520 backstage passes over the four events for access all areas. Normally, it would be 50 or 60. That shows the number of people he was bringing with him. Páraic Duffy and Peter McKenna referred to the 400,000 people but the person I feel most sorry for is Garth Brooks, given the effort he put into this and what he was going to do. People will never see a show like this again, regardless of what happens in the future in technology and so forth. They will never see the show that he intended to put on. He was putting everything into this. It was his comeback special. The press referred to how it was all five or nothing and so forth but if he was motivated by money, he would have done the three shows and recouped something. What he did was right. I told him it was five shows and he could not leave 160,000 people not seeing the show.
