Second U2 Slane date sold out

Promoters have announced that tickets for the second U2 concert at Slane Castle on Saturday 1st September have now been completely sold out.

The tickets sold out in 94 minutes and fans have been advised that there are no further tickets available.

The sale of the tickets was conducted through 65 outlets throughout the country, as well as through telephone and internet sales.

Support acts include Moby, Foo Fighters, Nelly Furtado and Dara.

Tickets, which were limited to 4 per person, went on sale immediately after the second date was announced. The decision to open box offices straight away was made "in the interest of public safety" after promoters consulted with the Gardaí and Ticketmaster.

Meath County Council granted permission for the second Slane date after requesting extra time to consider objections raised by residents.

80,000 tickets for U2's initial August 25 show sold out within 45 minutes.

U2 kicked off the European leg of their Elevation tour in Denmark on July 6 and will arrive in the UK to play Manchester on August 11.
