Sir, - Saturday was far from being the Beautiful Day Bono proclaims on U2's latest album. I was among the thousands of fans ( I own 13 albums, have attended three previous Irish concerts) who were betrayed on Saturday morning.
I accept we have moved into the new age with Internet sales, etc., but what I do not accept - and still await an explanation of - is the inexplicable decision to allow six tickets per person to one of the most eagerly awaited events in 2001. The promoters MCD must hold their hands up and admit they got it wrong. The true and dedicated fans who spent a long cold night in queues around the country should have been the priority when tickets were allocated - not, as it would appear, the undemocratic process of Internet sales. Already tickets are being offered on websites at exorbitant prices. were these bought by real fans? I think not. - Yours, etc.,
Damien Lynch, Jerome Connor Place, Dublin 7.
