'A fiasco' - Irish Springstein fans slam Ticketmaster as they struggle to buy tickets
Two Irish dates have already sold out since the tickets went live at 8am this morning (November 6)
Bruce Springstein fans across Ireland are continuing to scramble for tickets to the Irish dates of his upcoming tour as two key 2024 dates sell out early.
According to Ticketmaster Ireland, tickets for Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork and Nowlan Park in Kilkenny have already sold out, with dates at Boucher Road on May 9 and Croke Park on May 19 going fast.
Some fans - who got up early to nab tickets as they went live on Ticketmaster this morning (November 6) at 8am - have criticised the price of the tickets, which are reportedly €145 standing.
Newstalk presenter Shane Beatty commented on the price on X (formerly Twitter), and said, "€145 to stand on a pitch and watch Bruce Springsteen. Good old Ireland."
Another X user stated, "Prices are a disgrace… people in charge should be ashamed of themselves. Rip-off Ireland!"
Many fans willing to pay the hefty price also reportedly faced errors while trying to purchase them.
One X user said, "Error in connection is all that's coming up every time we select tickets" while another said, "I got through, put in my card details, approved on my banking app only to be told there was a problem. I’m now at the back of the queue."
Another frustrated fan stated he "should've stayed in bed".
One fan directed a question at Ticketmaster: "What's the point of making my way through a 15000+ long queue for Bruce Springsteen to get the same #SomethingWentWrong error message I started with at 8:00am? WHAT went wrong?"
Others faced the same problem and claimed the Ticketmaster app did not work, with one X user calling it "a fiasco" and another stating, "...the app isn't working. I wasted 15 mins getting same message but got ticker in the end, good luck."
