Second U2 Slane date sold out
Monday 9 July 2001The 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.

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.

- 30 Rock

Tonight, Liz returns from holiday break with a new outlook that leaves her immune to Tracy's acting out over Jenna's new fame as a judge on the reality show America's Kidz Got Singing. Meanwhile, Kenneth prepares for the Rapture.

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
