Over a hundred tickets for REM's show in Dublin this summer have gone missing en route to the UK.

122 tickets disappeared as they made their way from Ireland to be distributed in England, and the incident has become the subject of a Garda (Irish police) investigation.

Officials have warned potential purchasers not to buy any tickets from unofficial sources for the show, which takes place on June 30 at the Olympia Theatre. All the missing tickets, whose sequence numbers run from 0379 to 0500, have been cancelled, and the police have urged anyone who is offered them to report the incident immediately.
