Phase two of the tickets sales - which, like phase 1 is organised in a lottery-style draw for slots on the ticket sales website - is still ongoing, but organisers on Tuesday announced an extra sales period over the summer.

This phase will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and will include 200,000 tickets at €24. An exact date has not been announced.
