Tickets for Cohen show sell out in five minutes

THE fastest sell-out, this year, of a seated venue yesterday forced promoters to announce a second Dublin concert date for Leonard Cohen.

The 10,000 tickets for the Royal Hospital Kilmainham outdoor gig in June sold out in five minutes yesterday morning.

“The demand was phenomenal and, with availability for a second date, the promoters immediately snapped up the chance to avoid any disappointment for fans,” a spokesperson for the concern organisers said.
