This was the view that U2 fans who clambered to get tickets for their Dublin and Belfast gigs were greeted with this morning:

 

The tickets went on sale at 9am this morning, but reportedly were sold out in just over half an hour.

So far, the band have not added any extra dates apart from the four in Dublin (November 23rd, 24th, 27th and 28th) and two in Belfast (November 18th and 19th).

It was also revealed that those who bought standing tickets will receive paperless tickets, rather than physical 'print at home' ones - meaning that you'll have to bring photo ID and the card that you bought the tickets with to the venue. The card will then be scanned at the door.

Nonetheless, there are already touts selling tickets on eBay for inflated prices. Needless to say, there's every chance that these tickets are not legit, so don't buy them.

 

Otherwise, there were some happy fans on Twitter this morning:

Some were sad:

Some were angry: (the captchas were ridiculous, in fairness)

 

 

 

… and others were just showing off.

In any case, what this man says is true.
