    I assume its the latter as there is nothing on the official website....last time it was answered in the Tour FAQ's??

    I emailed Wembley on the off-chance that they might let me know...I doubt I will get a response but will let you all know if I do!


    U2.com will be announcing how it's gonna work within the next few days :

    U2 fans have expressed fury after it emerged the three Croke Park concerts in Dublin for its 360 tour will not be fully "in the round" as concerts at other venues around the world will be.

    The "claw" stage at the centrepiece of the show wowed fans in Barcelona at its launch last week and allowed the band to effectively play to all sides of the all-seated Nou Camp stadium.

    The stage was situated at one end of the stadium in Barcelona, and will be in the same position at Croke Park, with Hill 16 as a backdrop.

    However, no seats will be fitted on the Hill and no tickets have been sold for the famous terrace -- which means that the band will effectively be playing to 270 degrees of the Jones Road venue.

    Fans took to internet message boards last night to complain. "Pretty annoyed to find out were only getting 270 of the stage," one poster on boards.ie said.

    "There is no reason why it can't be in the middle."

    A seating chart for the concerts -- which take place on the 24th, 25th and 27th of this month -- shows that all stands at Croke Park will be filled, and there will be space for fans on the pitch.

    Mammoth
    However, there will be no standing space behind the stage, as it backs on to the Hill.
    Extra tickets for the three Dublin dates -- which had been sold out -- go on sale 9 a.m. today.
    The mammoth stage is 165 ft. tall, and takes up to four days to put together.

    Croke Park officials deny that fans will be deprived of the full 360 experience and say that they will be able to see the stage from all angles, as the band originally intended.

  6. lol
    So what I'd say
    You wont see less...
    And the band will be facing your seat more often...


  7. Indeed, they rocked Dublin with a straight head on Vertigo-stage, so why not with a 270 degrees Claw?
  8. Being in GA and looking through the claw to see the masses of people behind the stage was one of the highlights of Barcelona for me. Shame we can't get the same at Croke but thats just how the stadiums built. Can't sell a terraced area. Only alternative is to stick the stage down the other end (which they cant because all the tickets were priced according to the stage being at Hill 16), or they could skip Dublin this year and wait for Lansdowne road next year.
  9. Went to see Transformers yesterday, And before the movie begins they always play commercials. Guess who shows up!!!
    Yup, I was pretty excited to see a U2 commercial at the movies for U2 BlackBerry!
    They show a little spoiler of the stage, which was cool! They play a little bit of Crazy!!
    It's just soo Awsome to see U2 360 at the movies!!
  10. just thinking... how about opening a topic where people can share images of the Tour Merchandise they got so far? so those who are still having their concert(s) ahead can already get a view on these things and share opinions?

  11. 30% off on the cat. 1 tix in Berlin.

    Guess I'll get another 10€ ticket again this year.


  12. I think this is gonna happen quite a bit. Its those 130 quid jobbies that arent selling. 30% is a substantial slice
