Better not buy tickets before anything is officially confirmed
by the band themselves and certainly not from those scalpers.

Following great success of Madonna concerts, Live Nation announces two popular rock bands to perform in Holy Land some time next summer

Madonna's successful shows in Israel last week have paved the way for more major international artists to follow her lead, and now, Irish rock band U2 and English group Coldplay are expected to perform in the Holy Land next summer.
Both groups are represented by the Live Nation events company, which represents most of the world's leading artists.
The company's heads were amazed by the scope of sales to the Madonna concert – some 100,000 tickets were sold for two shows.
This lead the company to realize that the Israeli public is hungry for concerts and is willing to pay for them.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that Coldplay has already agreed to appear in Israel, and even planned on arriving this month, but due to a busy performance schedule, decided to postpone the trip.
Barring any special surprises, Coldplay will perform in Israel some time between May and June, 2010.
US, who appeared in Israel in 1997, is expected to put on another show in the Holy Land some time between June and September 2010.
Shuki Weiss, who collaborates with Live Nation, said, "Live Nation was very impressed with the Israeli audience that swarmed to the Madonna and Depeche Mode concerts. The company now views Israel as an important market.
"The Israeli production is also pleased to learn what a warm and great crowd there is for international shows. We would love to report of future performances when the time comes."

http://www.willieworld.com/U2MainPage2a.html
But sure, he doesn't state where in the world that would take place.
Originally I had thought it was Feb/March of 2010 and was quite confident of this as my father was in discussions about a venue becoming a place for concerts and was discussing with promoters about upcoming concerts... in Feb/Mar... particularly U2. However the recent talk about leaving a stage behind in Australia doesn't fit with these dates. I hardly see U2 leaving one behind when they go back to the States and Europe!
U2 Subscribers just recieved an email saying to check out the site in the next few days...
So it looks like US again in June/July with Europe in August/September and South America in October/November
The only question is when are they arriving in Australia!!!

I'm not so sure about the leaving-behind of stages in various places either. Who exactly mentioned about it?

Anyone else got that email?
Originally posted by Scott_McD:Im pretty sure that it was Mark Fisher and Willie Williams that spoke about leaving the stage behind. Apparently one in Australia and one in South Africa...
As for priority tickets I'm sure that members to u2.com will get it.
Here's the end of the members email for those who haven't seen it or recieved it
That's it for now, enjoy the site - and here's a big hint.... you might want to check back on U2.com in the next few days for some pretty exciting news! (Our lips are sealed...)
Best Wishes
