Westlife 2020 tickets listed for double their value online despite second Cork date

Westlife fans have gone into a frenzy after a second date was added before tickets for the Pairc Ui Chaoimh gig even went on sale this morning.

Eager fans were queueing at ticket kiosks overnight and people were camping on Ticketmaster hoping to secure the elusive pieces of paper.

And fortunately almost everyone that wants one will be able to get one as a second date was added for the Saturday before tickets even went on sale.

Westlife tweeted shortly before 9am: "Westlife have added an extra show Saturday 29th August 2020 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork due to phenomenal demand.

"Tickets for both dates Friday 28th August and Saturday 29th August priced from €59.50 including booking fees are on now at Ticketmaster."

But despite plenty of tickets still being available for face value on Ticketmaster, sites like Stubhub have tickets priced for as much as €199.

Everyone is recommended to head to Ticketmaster to try and get tickets for the normal price before resorting to this second option.

There is plenty of happy fans this morning who have already snatched tickets after queueing outside Merhcants Quay since early this morning.

Sinead Keenan from Ballyphehane told CorkBeo: "We’ve been here since 3 o’clock, slept outside and everything just to make sure we get tickets.

"We’re after seven tickets. I can’t remember how many times we’ve seen Westlife but we’ve been all over Ireland supporting them so can’t wait for this one in the Pairc now."
