Josh Flynn and Ava Guiden from Waterford said they are "delighted" to head to the Sunday concert.
Mr Flynn, who has been an Oasis fan for a long time, said he "grew up with their music" and his father is a "huge fan" of the band.
He said the prices of the merchandise in the store were "alright", adding he "thought they were going to be worse".
They bought a some t-shirts and two posters in the store.
Meanwhile, Tiernagh McManus from Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, who has been an Oasis fan for a long time, was "disappointed" not to get tickets for any of the concerts.
"I tried my hardest to get me and my family tickets, and I was online for hours before they even went on sale, and couldn't get them.
"[The pop-up store] was class. I definitely recommend people to go in. The atmosphere in there with the music was really good."
Oasis will hit the Croke Park stage on Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people. 5 The style lover teamed the jacket with a cute jumper and midi skirt Credit: Instagram 5 The jacket will take you for summer to autumn effortlessly Credit:
