Coldplay and U2 have two of those slots and apparently Ed Sheeran has the 3rd boxed off, but hasn't announced it yet. U2 are trying to overcome a lot of "red tape" to get a 4th gig sanctioned, hence the delay.

Can't believe seat wave though, crazy prices, and touts will be pissed as won't get the money until August, 10days after gig

No, I had heard that it wasn't very reliable in the past and I've previously been able to get tickets for high demand gigs on my phone just using the mobile site so I tried that again...in retrospect it would have made more sense for at least one of us to try the app!

U2‘s next gig of their 360° world tour is in doubt today (July 28), after the band’s custom-built stage was unable to leave Ireland‘s Croke Park due to road blockades staged by local residents. Around 80 residents protested outside the venue, where last night (July 27) U2 finished a three-night homecoming residency, playing to 240,000 fans. As a result of the protest, trucks sent to carry the equipment to Sweden for U2‘s gig at Gothenberg‘s Ullevi Stadium on July 31 were unable to make a connecting ferry in time. Tour manager Jake Berry says that the equipment will now not make it to Sweden as scheduled.

Whatever people think of U2, they've been an incredibly important act in music and have written some timeless, important songs, that have defined a generation or two. Ed Sheeran belongs in a pub with the cack he sings. He has no business playing a venue like Croke Park. His songs are detestable and so to are his fans

U2 were singing "Don't want to work on Maggies Farm no More" Some other eejit was singing about "Let's make Ireland work". Well at least they did sonething...the rest of us in last 30 years. And a bunch of eejits were pledging jobs on RTE. Still trying to figure it out...."and people selling burgers and bottles of water out the window" . And "AirBnB" ....wow how we have progressed sInce 1987. Bottom line people only go to U2 concert to say they were there, and the instagrams, the kudos, the twitters, the Facebook's etc. Not really about the gig more about saying that you were there. A lot of hype like their original name. Saw them.in Berlin at S of I tour, great gig primarily because it was a SMALL stadium gig and worth the price.

Manufactured Miracle wrote: » I highly doubt this is the case. They would have known since day one that only one night was available in Croke Park, they would have assumed the demand would exceed this and pushed for a second night in advance of tickets going on sale. The fallout after Garth Brooks was massive and there's no way U2 and management are that naive to book one gig, sell it and THEN worry about a second gig and how to get round the red tape. The fourth gig in Croke Park won't happen. Simple as. If there's no third act due to play, maybe they'll get their second night but no way will they sell a gig subject to license again and hope to have it cleared up in the meantime.
