Tickets went on sale this morning for Ed Sheeran and have yet to sell out for any of his Irish dates.
However, they are already being re-sold for twice their face value.
That's despite extra measures being put in place to combat ticket touting
Many fans had to wait hours to see if they managed to get a ticket, with many taking to Twitter to both voice their anger, but then joy when they finally secured tickets.
