It's official, and has been confirmed by Ticketmaster and Aiken Promotions - almost all tickets for Ed Sheeran's Irish tour in 2018 have now been sold out.
The seven-date tour, which takes in Galway (obviously), Dublin, Belfast and Cork, is one of the hottest tickets going this year and saw some fans queuing up since Thursday outside Ticketmaster outlets for the chance to buy them. As well as this, the anti-touting measures for purchasing the tickets caused some delays in people getting a hold of tickets.
Per reports on Twitter, online queues were taking upwards of two hours.
