U2 Third-Date Tickets Sell Out Fast
Tickets for U2’s third and final concert at Croke Park on June 27 have sold out following this morning's 9am on-sale announcement.
U2 fan Donal Gallagher from Longford purchased the last two tickets having heard this morning’s announcement while waiting to see his local dentist. Donal - having asked his dentist if he could hurry up - opted to join his local ticket outlet queue instead.
"I'm delighted, overwhelmed to get tickets. I can’t believe it….I missed out on getting tickets for their other Croke Park concerts. I can’t wait to see them."
The ticket limit for this performance was reduced to two tickets per person/transaction (rather than the previous limit of six). The majority of tickets were sold through 84 outlets across Ireland, with 15 outlets in Dublin. Each ticket outlet had its ticket allocation guaranteed in advance. A smaller quantity were sold through Ticketmaster by phone and on the internet.
U2 manager, Paul McGuinness said: “It's very important to the band that these tickets get to the fans. Playing at home is always something special, these gigs will be no exception.”
