A top golfer has claimed she and her friends were turfed out of the VIP area at Bruce Springsteen's second Croke Park gig on Sunday.

Swedish star Sophie Gustafson (42) said she was seated in the VIP area but asked to move because they posed a "security risk".

"Not every day you get "thrown" out of your allotted area cause you and your friends are a "security risk". Thanks #Bono #U2" she wrote on Twitter.

She added, "Pretty good evening despite of the security team of #Bono Thanks @springsteen @jakeclemons"

Speakling to Balls.ie she said that she had received a backstage tour and had settled in to the VIP area when Bono and his entourage arrived after three songs.

Fifteen minutes later she was asked to move as they were told they posed a "security risk".

She later spoke to a member of Bruce Springsteen's crew who told her that Bono's security had her moved.

"If I was blocking the little guy's view I would have happily moved over eight metres left and the problem would have been solved," she told the website.
