Thousands of fans of the Irish rock group gathered at grocery stores to purchase tickets for an upcoming concert. However, the supermarket chain responsible for selling the tickets was terribly unprepared for the crowds. The stores each had only one employee selling tickets, and computer malfunctions were rampant. With a ten-ticket limit per person, it still only took minutes to sell 73,000 tickets.
Organisers apologized to the many fans who were unable to purchase tickets, and said that they would add another concert date.
