    I'll be staying in a B&B in Drumcondra, just around the corner

    and I love when you're in the city centre and see hundreds of people walk to Croke for hurling... always an amazing sight

    I hope the sound is good. But more so, I hope that it won't get cancelled!
    I'm not able to go to Amsterdam (booked my holiday abroad... ), and Gelsenkirchen is the obvious choice (two hour drive). If they ditch Gelsenkirchen altogether, then maybe I opt for Paris od London. Would that be a good choice?


    Amsterdam is my alternative safety option, since I'm still waiting for Gelsenkirchen to be put back on the list Amsterdam is a 3 hours drive from my place, so it's the obvious choice for me, vice versa

    what about Berlin, wouldn't that be an option for you as well?


  4. Berlin would be an 8 or 9 hour drive for me.
    Paris is about 4 hours by TGV.........

    Wembley or Paris?
    Boy, all these difficult decisions........

    Always try Wembley in this case
    Just for the fact it's WEMBLEY!
  6. i'd go to the Wembley gig if it wern't in London
  7. Technically it's not .......
  8. 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.

    Dear Remy,

    We'll be emailing you with relevant ticketing links for those dates but keep an eye on the site on Monday - word is there might be other on-sale dates announced.
  9. Thanks Remy, I will check U2.com a bit later, I hope the UK shows are on sale ok Friday , it's my day off of work this week
  10. Live Nation reports sell-outs everywhere so far:
    U2 360 Tour Presented by BlackBerry Opening Weekend Performances Sell Out

    312,000 tickets sold over 2 days

    Live Nation, March 15, 2009

    With sales of over 312,000 tickets in 24 hours, U2 fans worldwide are ready to "get on their boots" as U2 360 Tour, presented by BlackBerry, announces complete sell-outs in Gothenburg, Milan and Amsterdam this weekend.

    Friday morning, sales in Gothenburg were so brisk, that after 30 minutes a 2nd and final show (August 1st) was added with 56,000 tickets per show completely sold out by end of day. Amsterdam broke that record Saturday with the July 20th ArenA performance selling 60,000 tickets within 15 minutes of going on sale. A 2nd performance July 21st was immediately announced and put on sale and is also now sold out. Milan's 80,000 capacity San Siro was also completely sold out by Sunday evening and tickets for a 2nd performance July 8th in Milan will go on sale this Friday, March 20th.

    In Dublin, reaction to last week's world tour announcement was so strong that a 2nd performance at Croke Park was confirmed prior to tickets even being put on sale. Tickets for both the July 24th and 25th performances will go on sale this Friday, March 20th. Additional on-sales this week include: Paris & Nice; Chorzow Poland, and London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff in the UK.

    In keeping with their long-standing tradition, U2 will welcome a number of different support acts to the tour including: Snow Patrol (Milan, Nice, Gothenburg); Glasvegas (Dublin, Glasgow, Cardiff), Elbow (London, Sheffield), Kaiser Chiefs (Paris, Dublin), and Black Eyed Peas with additional artists to be announced.

    U2 360 Tour follows the release of their 12th studio album "No Line On The Horizon" which debuted at #1 in over 30 territories.

    The U2 360 tour is sponsored by BlackBerry and produced by Live Nation Global Touring.
