Even with a seat I am sure you will have a ball, sparko! I always go for FOS or GA when there is no FOS, but in 2006 I saw The Rolling Stones in Berlin at this very Olympic Stadium from an absolutely crappy seat in the upper ring just below the roof, really really far away (129,5 E!) and I had and absolute blast. I would not believe it if I didn't experience it, but eventhough being as close as possible is surely the best thing, having a seat won't prevent you from having an amazing time. I am sure
So German tickets are more expensive than expected and the sell is being as messy as expected?
Sad to hear about the FOS tickets - I hate them. FOS, Golden Circle, Special GA or whatever they're called - it's just a rip off for fans who want to be up close. Tickets are expensive enough to overcharge them with another GA supplement. Bullshit
This year GA was 90/92 and FOS 119/121 which IS a rip off. I want FOS, though. I won't be there early enough to get any decent spot in GA - I had that last time, far end of the arena, like 5m from the exit behind us. Not again. Absolutely nothing to see. And like I said, it's half as big as Berlin/Munich.
I start to hate stadium shows of any kind and the thought U2 will bring i+e outdoors next time makes me sick. Standing for me is either first or last row. I'm not able to stand "in the middle" for more than 2 songs. Not even second row.
Back of FOS would be very fine for me.
In case someone has 2 spare FOS for Munich, get back to me. Sigh.
Back of FOS is a very sweet spot. Loud and (usually) clear sound, good for taping, nice if you don't want to be bumped or bothered by crowd around you... It's my favourite stadium spot besides the first rows too.
And yeah, I prefer indoor shows by a mile... I think we all do. Seeing 60.000 souls gathered together celebrating music is of course very nice, but besides that, indoor gigs have everything else on their side. But I guess the artists' egos (and wallets) prefer to be waved by 60K every night rather than 10K.
Less the artist's, much more those of the agencies, promoters and venues, I suppose. I mean, do Bruce or U2 really care how big the win is in the end? I don't think so.

There is still space for some dates in the EU tour schedule
23/5
6-13/6 (3 dates?)
1/7
7/7
Some of those will probably be just extra days off, but I guess that some surprises might yet occur. I guess that Vienna is still rumoured for that 7/7 date, but are there any other "current" rumours? I guess one more German date before Munich would make sence (Cologne was mentioned) and there was a rumour of Zurich a couple of pages back...
