1. Originally posted by Remy:U2.com has been emailing around again, still no word on exact dates. Dublin pre-sale might be tomorrow, but knowing u2.com it can also be wednesday. Keep an eye on the site.

    I'm getting really nervous now: do I use my Horizon presale code for Paris, or can I take the risk of still hoping and waiting for Gelsenkirchen?

  2. I would use it for Paris, order 4 tickets and if Gelsenkirchen comes up you can also decide to trade (a few) tickets. I'm sure there are people willing to trade with you.
  3. 20 March people, for the UK shows!
    Confirmation of second Milan gig, more sale dates, and support acts

    A Live Nation press release provides a lot of interesting news about the upcoming tour. Below are the key points.

    Extra show in Milan: A second show at San Siro has been confirmed for 8 July 2009.

    More European general sale dates: Tickets to the following concerts will go on general sale on 20 March 2009:

    · 2009-07-08 - Milan, Italy - San Siro
    · 2009-07-11 - Paris, France - Stade de France
    · 2009-07-15 - Nice, France - Parc des Sports Charles Ehrmann
    · 2009-07-24 - Dublin, Ireland - Croke Park

    · 2009-08-20 - Sheffield, England - Don Valley Stadium
    · 2009-08-22 - Cardiff, Wales - Millennium Stadium

    Although no news has been forthcoming from U2.com, it is probable that the fanclub presales for these concerts will begin on 17 March for Horizon subscribers, the morning of 18 March for Breathe subscribers, and the afternoon of 18 March for Boots subscribers.

    Support acts: Snow Patrol will support in Milan, Nice, Gothenburg, and Chorzow. Kaiser Chiefs will support in Paris and the second Dublin show. Glasvegas will support at the first Dublin gig, Glasgow, and Cardiff. Elbow will support in London and Sheffield.

    Gelsenkirchen: The Gelsenkirchen concert was initially announced for 3 August on U2.com and then quietly removed. The press release says that there will be a Gelsenkirchen concert. No date is specified.

    Raleigh: Ever since U2.com quietly removed all but the first four North American concert dates from their tour page, they have provided a list of cities the band will play in, but Raleigh is absent from this list despite appearing in the removed itinerary. Comfortingly for fans who wish to attend this show, the Live Nation press release includes Raleigh in its list of North American cities that the tour will visit.
  4. So also good news for the ones interested in Gelsenkirchen, there will be a show there according to Live Nation.
  5. Livenation.co.uk saying general public sale starts at 9am on friday 20th march for the 4 uk dates.

    Ticketmaster.ie is saying 20th march at 8am for croke park dates & has confirmed prices........ "Tickets priced 33.60, 59.80, 91.50 and 131.50 (including booking fee) go on sale next Friday 20 March at 08:00 and are limited to six per person/transaction.
    Special guests on Friday July 24 will be Glasvegas and on Saturday July 25 will be Kaiser Chiefs "
  6. Wembley on sale today at 10am (for the very rich).
    Think I'll wait for the GA tomorrow.
