Hotels, Concerts And U2


Hotel prices in Dublin are currently on the rise due to an upcoming U2 concert, said Belfast Telegraph. For example, during three days from July 24 to July 26 when U2 is going to play in Dublin the prices at Jurys Hotel, which usually stay at 299 euros per night, will jump up to 900 euros. Jurys is located right next to the Croce Park were the band is about to perform. Despite the price escalation U2 fans have already reserved eighty five percent of all Dublin suites, and it is also expected that nearly eighty two thousand people are planning to visit that city to see the band. Local hotel owners believe that they may not be able to take everyone, even after doubling and tripling the prices. Therefore, the cost shall keep on rising no matter what, but will it stop U2 fans from going there? Definitely not. It’s interesting that U2 musicians are owning some hotel business in Dublin, and right now they’re investing money into another construction project. Members of the band are planning to spend 235 million dollars on reconstructing an old builidng in the historical part of the city. This project was developed by the British architect Norman Foster.
