U2 360° Tour hits Salt Lake City - All Discussion here - SPOILER

Originally posted by sing_a_new_song:Just wondering: if it takes a week to built up the claw, how do they arrange it if the next show is 3 days later on another location? Or are there more of them (that would surprise me)? (probably stupid question, but I'm just curious )

...And they can build one in 3-4 days if they want.

The cost of each structure is between £15 million and £20 million

Originally posted by WikipediaThe stages are built by the Belgian company Stageco, and construction of each requires the use of high-pressure and innovative hydraulic systems.[12] The steel structure is 164 feet tall – doubling the size of the stadium set for The Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang Tour, the previous highest – can hold up to 200 tonnes underneath it, and requires 120 trucks to transport each of the 3 sets constructed to support the tour.[9][13] Each leg of the structure contains its own sound system.[9] The cost of each structure is between £15 million and £20 million.[14] As a result the tour is heavily insured.[5] The size of the stage has led to some problems with its construction in certain venues. The band paid $2 million to raise the HD video screen in Cowboys Stadium for their concert in Arlington, and are paying $3 million to expand the Hippodrome de Montréal into a temporary stadium for their forthcoming concert in Montreal.[15][16] The 360° tour crew consists of 137 touring production crew supplemented by over 120 hired locally.[17][18] Daily costs of the production are approximately $750,000, not including the stage construction; the majority of this comes from truck rentals, transportation, and staff wages.[19] The tour is not expected to break even until the conclusion of the second leg.[19
