interested to know what hype , if any, there is over there.

It would be interesting to know.

As of 17.59, TM was still offering some of the exact same seats they were offering at 9.30am, and they were only half way back in the lower tier.

TV ads using footage from Rave Un2 the Joy..... y'know - in the blue jump suit.

Radio ads heavily featuring "My name is prince" with snippets of "The hits" in between.

98Fm radio station had a Prince day yesterday giving away tickets on all their shows from 6am to 8pm.

Standard print ads.....

In terms on panic buying not so much but a true sell of of Croke park would be surprising for any artist outside of a boy band. I think that the pitch tickets are a bit expensive for just the generally curious Irish person.

cheers, noticed that Pitch standing seats are now not available!, surely not sold out already?.
