Tickets for U2's four Dublin dates this November have been listed at resale prices of up to €3,700 on ticket sites.
40,000 tickets for the shows at the 3Arena this November sold out in 35 minutes on Monday morning with the 17,000 tickets for the band's two nights in Belfast following shortly afterwards.
The final nights of U2's iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour, which began in Vancouver last May, take place in Dublin's 3Arena on November and Belfast's SSE Arena.
Around 200 fans queued overnight at the 3Arena but the vast majority of tickets sold on online ticket vendor Ticketmaster. However, other online vendors who specialise in ticket resales soon began advertising tickets for up to €3,700.
StubHub had tickets listed for €3,697.33 for the Tuesday show on November 22 at the 3Arena in the D seating section, directly in front of the stage.
The Irish Times also reports that ticket buyers also encountered problems with some complaining that they had problems accessing the site this morning and others that they had mistakenly bought student tickets despite not being holders of valid student cards.
Despite the staggering sums being asked for tickets by some online ticket re-sellers, promoters are happy with the way Monday's sale went.
Arthur Fogel, U2's tour promoter with Live Nation said "It has worked really well today. When the fans are happy, we're happy."
