Not everyone was so lucky, however.
Few musicians in the world command the sort of affection in Ireland that Bruce Springsteen does and seemingly half the country was
online trying to get tickets to his Croke Park gig this morning.
Due to phenomenal demand, many fans were left frustrated at waiting times and computer screens taking an age to load, but plenty of people were successful in getting their hands on tickets and they weren’t shy about letting people know about it either.

Were you one of the lucky few?
If not, don't get too down about it, because the Boss has only gone and
confirmed another date in Croker on Sunday, 29 May.
It's going to be some weekend.
