Thousands of One Direction fans were queuing overnight in an attempt to get their hands on tickets to the band’s gigs in Dublin next year. Despite the freezing temperatures, loyal fans queued all night in order to bag tickets to the shows which will take place in the 3Arena on Friday October 16^th and Saturday October 17^th, 2015. Although the two nights sold out within minutes, luckily for disappointed fans, ticket promoter MCD had another trick up their sleeves.

After announcing an extra date for the gig (Sunday October 18^th) it was a case of survival of the fittest as fans grappled to get their hands on the precious tickets – which again, sold out in a matter of minutes.
