Hotels cash in on ‘The Boss’ by doubling room rates

A number of leading hotels in Cork and Limerick have more than doubled their room prices for the night the cities play host to Bruce Springsteen next summer.

Some hotels in Belfast have also hiked up room rates but not to the same extent.

A double room in the Clarion Hotel in Cork will cost concert-goers €211.01 on Tuesday, Jul 18, the night of the Springsteen concert at Pairc Uí Chaoimh. This compares with just €91.74 exactly a week earlier.
