There was a frantic scramble to Dublin city centre for Foo Fighters fans on Sunday after the band announced tickets to an intimate gig the following day. Tickets sold out quickly yesterday.

A press release issued at 10am said tickets would go on sale at noon but would only be possible for purchase from a box office on Dame Street.
