    Generous amount of dates. I fear they might bore me live. Skipped them here at Belfast last week. Hope they excite the Nou Camp
  2. Lets hope Muse opens the other dates. like the rose bowl
  3. So, I've heard that the seats "behind" the stage in the lowest levels of the stadiums are $95...but the whole idea of the tour is that there isn't a "behind the stage" area...so is this true? or are these reports false? that wouldn't make any sense if the rest of the lower level seats are $250.
  4. Does anyone know about Glasvegas? Are they any good?
  5. Glasvegas are excellent. Get their stuff on YouTube. Geraldine and Daddys Gone have ben their biggest hits to date. Can't wait to see them at croke
  6. U2 Sells Out Croatia (Pollstar)

    You could almost describe U2’s ticket sales in the small Eastern European republic as “quaint,” if only because it took half a day to sell out. Most ticket stories about sellout concerts start with a lead depicting how a particular show sold out in minutes. That’s why U2’s 12-hour journey to sell 63,000 ducats – about 5,250 per hour – is worth noting.

    Tickets for U2’s first-ever Croatia concert scheduled for August 10 went on sale online and at brick & mortar ticket outlets, with folks lining up in freezing temperatures at the latter on the night before the onsale. Tickets were priced at 250-2,000 Kuna ($45 to $356), and went on sale online at midnight, and at 9 a.m. at outlets. But the sellout didn’t occur without at least one glitch. Fans overloaded the authorized seller’s ticket server, causing it to go down for a few hours, which helps explain why it took so long to sell out the event. “We’ve never seen anything like that in our career,” said Maja Valjak from Lupa Promotion.

    It also looks as if the onsale was almost as exciting as the actual show for fans. Said Ksenija Pavlic, a 36-year-old mother of two who scored tickets online: “I’ve been waiting for this all my life and I wasn’t ready to miss it.” Evidently a lot of Croatians feel that way. The country’s population was estimated to be just under 4.45 million in 2008. Factor in the 63,000 tickets sold and that means one ticket per 71 of the country’s citizens.

    ^^
    Best piece of info I ever read about U2. Simply awesome.

  10. FYI- GA's are still available for Rogers Centre 2.....


  11. ...........this is going to be scary..My guess will be 2 maybe 4 hours until the show in Chicago, NY and Boston sell out, toronto could take 6 -12 hours for both to sell out.

    I have been waiting for the second shows in NY and Boston to be announced. I was hoping for a presale but thing aren't looking good. I'll bet the second show goes on just after of the same time as the first.
  12. Other US Dates official!!

    Yeah!!!! OMG!! It has begun!!!



    EDIT!! Ok so I just checked back on U2.com and the Dates are Gone, Vanished....
    Either that or I'm losing my Mind!!!
