HOTEL prices in Dublin have skyrocketed overnight after Oasis announced a show in the city as part of their reunion tour.
The Gallagher brothers are set to reunite for the first time in 15 years with an announcement yesterday of a UK and Ireland tour next summer – with an appearance in Dublin slated for 17 August 2025.
In response to the celebrated news though, hotels in the Irish capital have seemingly jumped on the chance for a lucrative payday, immediately upping their prices.
Prices prior to the revelation appear to have more than tripled, with some hotels priced as high as almost £750 for one night.
One eagle-eyed Oasis fan apparently saw the writing on the wall and took a screenshot of prices the day before the reunion tour was announced and then the prices for the same hotels the day of the announcement.
The fan in question alleges to have secured a hotel for a comparatively measly £140 while others scramble to find somewhere to stay, paying more than three times that much in some cases.
Side by side maps of the city with pins dropped on hotels locations displaying prices show the hotel’s tactics plain as day.
One screenshot, taken before the concert was announced shows most hotels will cost tourists as low as £80 per night, with an average price of around £195.
The other screenshot showing hotels in the same area, taken after the concert was announced, reveals that fans could be paying between £300 and a whopping £750 a night – with an average cost of a staggering £458.
The drastic increase in price across every hotel in the city leaves many with little choice but to pay the extortionate rates.
A fan shared the screenshots to social media yesterday with the caption: “Screenshot of prices of Dublin Hotels on 17 August 2025.
“One taken last night before the Oasis announcement and one this morning.”
The post has since received over 4,600 likes and more than 175 comments from stunned users.
One user said: “People who had rooms already booked for that day are seemingly having their booking cancelled by the hotels.”
Another wrote: “That was last night. Don’t look back in anger.”
A third replied: “Edinburgh will be the same.”
Another commented: “Lads, it’s called capitalism. Get over it.”
A fifth added: “Wow supply and demand in a picture, mental isn’t it.”
