U2 fans still hope to find tickets they’re looking for

U2’s Irish fans will have an anxious wait this morning to see if they can secure tickets for the band’s first Irish concert in four years at Croke Park next June.

Thousands of the group’s most dedicated followers are believed to have already spent $40 (€30.70) to have access to a priority ticket sale as paid-up subscribers of U2’s website.

Many fans paid the additional fee in order to improve their chances of obtaining tickets for U2’s home leg of their Vertigo world tour on June 24 before they go on sale to the general public on February 4.
