    Yet you hear lots of people saying that they want to come to Dublin to see the band there as the home gigs will be special ,.
    Its all nonsense.
    Its the same show in each town ,its like a circus ,everything is scripted and choreographed,its the same for alot of artists,same jokes every night.

    That must have killed your mood, I would have just left there and then.

    Since I live in N Ireland I've only ever seen U2 live in Dublin,which I know for many would be considered priceless,but it really isn't.Don't get me wrong,I've thoroughly enjoyed all the concerts I've been to,but none have stood out at all in terms of the 'standard'-ish setlists.On a few occasions something unusual has been played on another night of a multiple run,but that's just luck.Last year I was convinced they'd play ASOH in Dublin,but they didn't-yet I think it was randomly played a few shows later,somewhere like Paris maybe,that demented me!So to anyone feeling the need to specifically scratch the Dublin itch,I'd say you'll get a great show in a wonderful (pricey) city,but just don't expect any particular special guests or setlist surprises.

    As someone who missed out on Belfast in 2015,I am hoping to see the band there this year,that would make me very happy indeed! ?

    Unfortunately I can't. It is what it is
  8. cool. I mod a football forum and it allows you to split topics so was hoping this might be the same. No worries, i think the subject just depresses me anyway.
  9. Based on the Innocence presale what was it like to get anything other than the £200 tickets for London 1? Any information would be appreciated as I’ll be having a go for London 2.

    My observation is most people ticketless after round 1 sales either

    1) wanted GA only and nothing else
    2) too late logging on

    There were some issues with Milan and Lisbon but generally I could have got any priced tickets for most shows except GA in both innocence and retail sales, mostly lower tier seats, in the general sales / live nation sales most cheap seats were upper tier. I chose to wait for second announcements knowing hopefully many experience code holder have utilised the code.

    So if you have codes I’d expect more availability for innocence code holders and confident in getting what I want.

    Nice one thanks for the detailed response. Sounds like I can be quite confident then.
