    I have reason to be in Dublin last minute later this week so went to check out some hotels. The cheapest hotel for one person on any site is €340 for Thursday and Friday night.

    Is this the new norm for Dublin? The boom is well and truly back.

    Supply is extremely limited. High tourist season, homeless crisis. Big events on in the city centre. Tell the people forced to live in these hotels the boom is back. It is a perfect storm.

    During the timeframe I need to be there it's only mumford and sons. Backstreet boys are on tonight and Bon jovi at the weekend.

    Extortionate pricing compared to other major cities.

    At this stage is often cheaper to fly to UK cities and stay there, and end up in profit compared to Dublin prices.

    heaps of concerts , even on Thursday night, including 2 stadium concerts over the weekend plus the 3 Arena is a damn big indoor arena plus another outdoor concert at Malahide on Saturday - so in fairness there's probably very little availability left and just like with air fares, the last seats (beds!) go for silly money.
    Heres the list, source here: https://www.songkick.com/metro_areas/29314-ireland-dublin

    Thursday
    Fleetwood Mac - RDS Arena
    Elton John - 3Arena
    Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Vicar Street

    and even some good non poppy stuff
    Plaid - Whelan's
    Jeru the Damaja - The Sugar Club

    then on Saturday night youve
    Mumford & Sons and Dermot Kennedy - Malahide Castle
    and
    Bon Jovi - RDS

    Was just going to ask a similiar question - looking for a hotel in either North Wicklow or South County Dublin for a Saturday night in August (I know) but the prices are really high. You could get a cheap city break away for the prices being quoted for one night. I'm thinking of pitching a tent!

    You would literally get return flights to europe and a hotel for the weekend for that price, could never justify it! If I was that desperate, I think I would just go out and stay in the airport
