Help get "No2 4 U2" @ Slane...

Irish supergroup U2 have asked the Irish Government permission to play a second Slane concert after all 80,000 tickets sold out for their first show in 45 minutes amongst scenes of pandemonium at most ticket outlets. Bono, the lead singer with the band went on Irish TV and asked the Government and the people of Slane to let them play a second show.

There were violent scenes on Dublin’s Grafton street on Saturday morning after 700 fans, some of which had been waiting for tickets since Thursday, were left empty-handed.

According to a spokesperson for MCD concert promoters in Dublin, the company behind the show, the band could have sold over 250,000 tickets.

"There were thousands of people on Grafton Street and we would love to have sold them all tickets to see U2 in Slane but the law says that only one concert can go on there each year. There were over 250,000 people looking for tickets and now it looks like we will have to get a second show for Slane."

"To do this we need the Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and the Minister for the Environment to change the law for Slane and the people of Slane to allow it to go ahead. "
