‘Rampant price gouging’ by hotels on dates of Taylor Swift concerts in Dublin

Thomas Pringle said while many young people are preoccupied with securing tickets for the shows, their parents are anxious about being able to afford accommodation.

Hotels in Dublin are engaged in “rampant price gouging” on the dates of US pop star Taylor Swift’s concerts, a TD has claimed.

There is not a hotel room available in Dublin for less than €350 on the dates of the Eras tour shows next year, Independent TD Thomas Pringle told the Dáil.
