The global superstar will perform three sold out concerts at the Aviva Stadium, with thousands of fans from the north expected to travel to the shows on June 28,29 and 30.

Hotel prices within one mile of the stadium have surged by 45% from an average of £260 for a room only overnight stay for two adults to £382.

The weekend after the concert, hotel prices drop 28% on average of £270 a night for two adults.

The most expensive is Anantara the marker Dublin £591 - a 67% rise from £352.

Ticketholders heading to the concerts at the end of June who haven’t booked accommodation will have to ‘shake it off’ or arrange a ‘getaway car’ home.
