    1. Saw them in Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam on the same tour (I lived in Brussels, still do).

    2. I was in secondary school at the time, we could afford to go to gigs at venues like the RDS, or point without too much effort. gigs at the likes of the baggot inn were so cheap in hindsight.

      no way can my kids afford to do as much, even if the clubbing and gig scene existed now like it did late 80s and the 90s, the prices are insane

      I was at that! First concert I ever went to, my dad brought me, I’ll never forget it.

      A quick google puts it at around €58. Given that most tickets these days are at least €100 if not way more, it’s proof that we are being priced out of everything.

      A job for the CPI calculator… £14 is €17.78 and brought forward from August 1987 to today, €42.01 – a 136% increase.

      Last big set of U2 gigs was the sphere in Vegas, with tickets starting at around $140. Last time they played Ireland was 2018, and tickets did start at around €40… but few and far between.

    6. I was at that gig. That was the standard price at the time for Croke Park gigs.

      Gigs like that were all day affairs.. support bands would kick off around 3pm with the headline act on around 9pm.

      I can’t remember all the bands that played that day but definitely The Pogues, The Dubliners and Lou Reed were on before U2. The Pogues were an absolute shambles.. absolutely hammered drunk at around 6pm.

      Lou was fantastic. U2 were at their musical peak.
