Quickpark closing down is a massive factor in that.

There's going to be a serious labour shortage in their factories in the not too distant future.

By that stage I think many importers will have sourced elsewhere and alot closer to home to keep shipping costs down. Company I work with are investing heavily into their own factory to produce the goods that have doubled in price from China since last year.
Which as you say will drive the price of goods up even if demand is lower, the dreaded stagflation.

€103.15 for the cheapest ticket to see Bruce Springsteen in Dublin next year, the other categories are priced at €138.15, €148.15 and €163.15.

Love the boss but that's taking the piss.

ridiculous

at least at a sporting event, you don't know the outcome and something out of the ordinary can actually happen

paying to listen to music is such a waste of money, there are hundreds of his full concerts online, you have heard all the songs before and it is literally no different

unless you're going there for the likes Wink

the highest category priced ticket for the Barcelona gig is less than the cheapest category ticket for the Dublin gig. 

For those of us outside Dublin we could bank the cost of a Dublin hotel, the difference in the cost of a ticket, the spending money that you would need for Dublin and instead book a Ryanair flight to Barcelona, go to the gig, spend a few nights in the city or a week in an apartment on the Costa Brava and probably still have change leftover to put towards spending money.

Presume the reason the tickets are cheaper in Barcelona is that he'd have to be dubbed so people could understand him, while in Dublin most speak English so get to hear the real Boss!

Good value in my opinion for that Clap

Bill O'Reilly had Springsteen's number that time when he talked about how much of a capitalist he is.

€500 to stay one night in Jury's in Cork next week. A city turning into the walking dead with the amount of junkies all over the place.

Was at a stag in Cork few weeks back. Couldn’t get over how rough the place is gone.
