What's the Story with hotel rates?

Dublin prices skyrocket by 70% ahead of Oasis gigs

- BY CATHAL RYAN

HOTEL prices have shot up across Dublin ahead of the Oasis shows this weekend - but the capital is still the cheapest spot to catch the Live Forever hitmakers.

With the Mancunian icons set to play two nights at Dublin's Croke Park on August 16 and 17, new research shows that the Irish capital is the cheapest stop on the reunion tour, but fans will still be paying more than usual for a place to stay.

Hotel prices in Dublin have risen by 70% for the concert dates, the second-smallest increase after London, with the average room costing €413 per night, up from €243 just three weeks later.

When tickets first went on sale, searches for "hotels near Croke Park" and related terms peaked at 243,600 in August 2024, reflecting the surge in demand.

EXTREME

But it wasn't just Dublin, accommodation costs across five major cities hosting the Oasis 2025 tour have soared, with some prices rising by over 450% on concert night compared to exactly three weeks later.
