It's bound to be one of the biggest gigs of the year - so when tickets for U2 at Croke Park apparently sold out in minutes this morning, there were a lot of disappointed people around.
Many took to Twitter to vent at missing out on tickets to see Bono and the lads in their hometown, and also at their understandable anger at seeing tickets on resale site Seatwave for hugely inflated prices. These are the times we live in, folks.
See below for a taster of the angry mob's tweets:
No @u2 tickets for me :( Sold out in 6 mins! Hopefully there's a second show!

Sat trying to get U2 tickets from half 8. They sold out in 10 minutes. I am not in a good mood.

Sorry there's some kind of scam going on..u2 tickets "sold out" 10mins after release but 1000's of resale tickets available @ 4x the price 🤔

U2 tickets sell out on Ticketmaster but they link ya to their partner site Seatwave €355 each for standing #seemsfair

Why does TM bother checking if you're a bot before buying tickets? It doesn't seem to stop them!

Fear not if you didn't get U2 tickets, ticketmaster's 'official' partner has some for sale at only a 500% markup. Sweet! #AuthorisedTouting pic.twitter.com/5qUyzJQ5E9

According to my twitter today, if you complain about not being able to get U2 tickets you're a "tasteless culchie bastard"

Bono's record on human rights doesn't extend to giving his fans a fair crack at fair priced tickets @U2 #hypocrisy #stitchup

Apparently there never were standing tickets for U2?? Ended up with a seat about 19 miles away up in space. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #U2Dublin
