    t-shirt's were 25e which i think were a decent price
    there was also a hoody for 60, i think.
    also posters and keyrings but im not to sure how much they were. The t-shirts were good value. Picked up a black one with a pic of U2 on the front and the tour details on the back.

    Plenty of T-Shirts available... around 8 or 10 I think.
    There was a special black one for the Croke Park gigs with "U2 Vertigo Croker PArk 24/25/27 July 05" on the back, and a large print of the band and a 'V' on the front.
    The black hoodie was €70 and wasnt anything special. Baseball hats there too.
    Didnt buy any myself... I guess there'll be near thousands of them being worn around town over the coming weeks :)

    that was the one i bought. it was the only one they had in my size. one of the downsides of being 6'2" and fat. :D

    other than that,i thought the selection was great and the prices were quite reasonable.

    I thought the official programmes were €10?
    They looked ok... only for the real die-hard fan though.
    I did see another guy going around trying to flog what appeared to be "other" programmes. Maybe these were the €20 ones and werent official?

    these kind of events see the cowboys coming out of the woodwork to try and make a quick buck - it will never change.

    speaking of which...there were lots of cowboy hats being sold outside too :D

    Not sure how much they were, but didnt see many with them on... and they were trying to shift them for €4 a pop after the gig!

    Didnt see any U2 related merchandise.
    Mostly Irish flags, hats, scarfs, whistles (for the love of god no!!!), glow sticks (!!!), hats, sunglasses, rain ponchos (needed on Friday), disposable cameras (looked dodgy... glad I got a good one in spectra on the way) and the usual bars and bottles of water.
    Also saw some geezer selling Liverpool "Champions of Europe" t-shirts...
    And then a small homemade sign on the canal bridge with "Official U2 Sambos... at Vertigo prices!"
    Classic :D
