Fans who missed out on sold-out Oasis gig come up with ‘genius’ alternative

A couple who couldn’t get tickets to a sold-out Oasis concert came up with a genius alternative.

With the stadium packed and tickets impossible to secure, Nicola Fagan, 41, and Emer Hayde, 38, decided to try their luck by taking to the water.

Using kayaks, the couple paddled out underneath Croke Park Stadium in Dublin to listen to the show, managing to have a “spectacular” experience of their own making.

“The atmosphere and experience will never be matched again.”

The clip was recorded on Saturday (16 August), and left viewers envious of their clever trick.

“Well done, ladies, thinking outside the box.” Another commented.

Adam posted: “Level of ingenuity… 100/100.”
