  1. Apparently they buy it for other artists and in previous tours. The article states that they suspect many fans to have crossed off U2 from their bucket list, to remember the 360 tour as their last concert.

    Agreed!
  3. Originally posted by Soundwall:^Okay but i have to say that it was hell to get tickets. Me and my friend logged in and barely made it. It was sold out and there were only tickets left for single use. We are going to try to trade.

    I wish the organisation would have given the lokal fanclub tickets, so everyone is able to attend. I heard that fans who badly wanted to go can't because of the rush on ticketmaster and did tot make it.
    My parents want to plan a trip to New York but it isn't working out because the shows they are able to attend are sold out. Ticket prices on StubHub have gotten quite expensive as well. I find it interesting that there can be such a mark up while tickets for other shows are available,

    I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, the bike accident is the WORST thing that could've happened to the band. Like you said, there hasn't been a peep regarding U2. It went from the iTunes album drop, to everyone freaking out about it, to starting to play the songs live, they were doing a lot of little promo things (answering questions on Facebook comes to mind). Whether it was good news or people complaining, U2 were still in the spotlight. Then the accident happened and we have had NOTHING over the last 4 or 5 months. I understand they weren't able to go perform and stuff, but just release 45-60 second videos every so often on Facebook of them in the studio, figuring out how to play the songs from SOI live and stuff. Sorry, but I just think the accident (obviously) was the worst possible thing that could've happened. After all this time I still feel it's their best album since Pop, but without promotion it'd be hard for it to be noticed. Sorry for the long rant!
  5. unfortunate as the accident was, I still think they could've stayed on people's minds a lot more with proper single videos and the AIRING of such videos. remember how vertigo was everywhere, what with the apple spot? I heard "hello hello" everywhere I went. or hell, posters promoting the album/tour in the cities... I see none of that in germany at least.
  6. Why no promotion? They are rehearsing (or not)
  7. Bono is fit enough to rehearse but not fit enough to do that in public/promote (yet).
  8. The biggest culprit for lack of sell-out shows is the pricing... I just checked Ticketmaster and I saw tickets being sold for obscene prices. I would love to go to the other 4 LA shows but I'm not dropping 250-500 dollars for AVERAGE seats. And I don't imagine many people would either.
  9. Does anyone think the overpriced seats would drop once the shows get closer? I'd still love to go to more shows if seats dropped to about 100-150 dollars.

    Oh yeah! My Dad scored tickets to the last 360 show in Chicago the morning of the concert for like nothing. Had pretty solid seats, too.
  11. U2 as a business entity is not run by a bunch of idiots. Even though it seems like they have all but fallen off the face of the planet, I have a feeling that the people working behind the scenes have a plan in mind. Bono's injury was definitely a huge setback, but silence in the U2 camp is actually a good sign in my opinion. It tells me that they aren't concerned with damage control because as far as they are concerned, there isn't any damage. I think their intention is to use the first part of their tour to promote U2 and both of their albums (Innocence and Experience). Even if U2 loses money in the arena tour, if they've got an ambitious stadium tour in mind that'll be where they make the big bucks. Let's not forget all the records that were utterly shattered by 360.
