  1. Would have preferred Murrayfield as Hampden is a shithole. At least the concert is at a decent time of year and not midsummers day as the last one was. Might even see the screens and lightshow this time as it should be darker.

    Reminded me of the John Lennon quote "..For our last number, I'd like to ask your help. The people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, just rattle your jewelry" --- Royal Variety Performance in 1963...


    Lol classic!!!

    Actually I don't care where they open the tour as long as they come to NZ again!

  6. U2 pencils in Croker July special for No Line tour
    By Alistair Grant

    U2 are expected to confirm details of their No Line on the Horizon tour, with tickets on sale from Saturday week for 50 concerts across Europe and North America.

    The tour will feature a 360-degree central stage and credit crunch-busting ticket prices which, according to unofficial reports, could be as low as €30.

    U2 are due to confirm Irish dates at Dublin’s Croke Park on July 24, 25 and 27 and early August concerts at Wembley, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and the City Of Manchester Stadium.

    The tour is expected to start at Barcelona’s Nou Camp stadium at the end of June, with dates at Stade de France in Paris on July 10 and 11, then Nice, Berlin and Amsterdam before heading to Dublin for an emotional Croke Park homecoming.

    U2 then head for the United States and Canada, with tickets for those concerts going on sale on April 4.

    In the US, they are due to play New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco.

    The band’s 12th studio album No Line on the Horizon came out on Friday in Ireland, Holland, Germany and Australia and will be released in the rest of Europe and North America today.

    Tour tickets are to go on sale on March 14 and an instant sell-out is expected.
    U2 manager Paul McGuinness revealed the band’s tour details to music industry magazine Music Week.

    Arthur Fogel, global touring chief executive of U2’s promoters Live Nation, confirmed the bargain tickets prices.

    He said: "There will be extreme [price] tiering. The notion of single-price tickets is not something I have ever embraced.

    "In this particular [economic] climate, it’s important to really look at tiering carefully."

    Following Friday’s BBC rooftop gig in London, U2 begin a five-night stint on US TV show The Late Show with David Letterman tonight.

  7. 30 euros, that would kick-ass
  8. Oh. My. God.



    I'll be able to afford more than one show!!!
  9. 30 euro is nuts. Are they helping us out or worrying about not shifting tickets at full price?
  10. Amen, the same here I whish I could say "They're helping us, because they love us! That's all", but I can't. I think both factors are determinant... They can't afford a half-sold stadiuim a la Popmart, moreover many of their good old fans can't spend 80+ euros on a ticket...

    Well done once again, guys This is going to be a great year
  11. I think that while U2 are going to have a range of pricing, it will be hard to get multiple shows nice and cheap. U2 are trying to open the market up to all people who want to see a show so by making it cheaper and giving the true fans multiple shows is not really the point... Besides, 80 Euro isn't that much. Its like 140 Aussie dollars and I'd pay much more than that!
  12. so are u2 supposed to be going to the states after croke park?then coming to the u.k.

    as there is quite a big gap croke park 24-26th july.

    then london /cardiff/scotland 18th-20th august.

    thats almost 3 weeks.

    does that mean that u2 will do a small u.s tour before coming to the u.k.

    i thought i,d copy and paste as there seems to be 2 very similar threads on here.
