  1. Why's this? Just curious as to why.
  2. I'm the opposite. For better or worse I've actually got high hopes. Huge demand for tickets to the shows I'm going to (despite what people may think, should have tried getting tickets to all the nyc and Boston shows - it was the worst I've experienced bar Glastonbury) and arenas in traditionally strong cities, performance andcrowd wise, for u2. Can't wait
  4. - The promotion of this tour/album. The only promotion we got was a bike accident
    - The overpriced tickets.
    - Bono's health/voice these days

    I hope I'am wrong
  6. It says 2 weeks ago.

    I'd say releasing your album for free to 500.000.000 people during the most-watched tech event in the world is quite a promotional move.
  8. His voice sounds fine, no worse than it did around 1997 - 2006. It's certainly better than the ATYCLB era.

    360 and NLOTH was probably the best it's been in a long time though.


    No idea how much tickets are for the tour.

    They did a bit of promotion for the album e.g. all those promo shows. Check out how many views the EBW music awards show has on YouTube as well - that's been consistently the most-played song from the album. Plus they did interviews etc etc and the Apple 'stunt' - plenty of promo given they didn't get as much time as they could've for the whole promotion run.
  9. Tickets are more expensive, but that's to be expected given the fact that they are playing indoor arenas and not outdoor stadiums. Smaller venues mean less tickets and that means they have to increase the price.
  10. I paid the same as in 2009 and 2010... Ticket prices are in line with most other artists touring this year like Madonna
  11. On average, tickets are more expensive now than there were in 2009/10, but that's because during 360 there were way more tickets in the lower price ranges to bring that average value down.

    But compared to other artists touring, the prices are in line with the others.
