While a weekend trip to see Bruce Springsteen in Cork, Kilkenny, or Dublin might be the preferred choice, cheaper and more worthwhile deals can be found abroad.

Trying to get an affordable deal in Ireland ahead of the concerts is not for the faint-hearted, and going abroad may not be a consideration but a necessity after seeing what accommodation is available.
