    I knew that 'band walking on the desert' photo was never seen before, but the whole thing - delaying thing, just become more and more ridiculous then ever.
    It was there. And all the links for "Presales" also gave info. See the pic:



  4. I've also seen it with my own eyes, and I've made a screenshot. Its the mobile version on my iPhone, thats why you can only see Melbourne. On the PC version of the U2 landing page, the three concerts on TM (Melbourne, Perth, Auckland) where in a row.

    I saw the leaked website myself. In fact I still have the website tab open on Chrome on my laptop.

    Here you can see the content that was online a couple of hours on TM Australia.

    Uupps it doesn't show the Instagram links? How can I add Instagram links?

    Yeah it usually takes about 50 outdoor shows to break even especially for a band like U2 who don't do things cheaply and as well as the expensive stage production the tour crew don't come cheap either as you have to pay big wages to Sound engineers, lighting,graphic designers, stage handlers their own personal staff and guitar techs etc etc, for them just to do 15 or so gigs doesn't sound economicaly viable unless they have done some deal with Live Nation which makes it part of the 2017 JT tour or that they intend to make it part of a wider tour in 2020

    I’m sure it only takes so many shows to break even because of the start up costs of a tour. This isn’t a brand new tour really it’s just another leg of TJT, the use of the same stage will save them massively I would think. It’s really no different to what they’ve done any other time they’ve visited Australia and New Zealand it’s just a much bigger gap between legs.

  8. Here's what I got when I checked on Thursday.

    Only thing that's keeping me believe there is still creditability in the rumours.
  9. Some interview he did with Q magazine a few years back no links ,pretty common knowledge if you do the maths when the running costs are near a million a day you'd need to be doing a lot of shows to make a profit .

    A million a day maybe for 360. I doubt it’s the same for JT 2017.

    This link seems to suggest it took them a bit fewer than 50 shows for 360 as Paul McGuinness mentioned it would be some time before the end of the 2nd leg so maybe closer to 40 shows, I did read elsewhere that they had almost broke even by Pasadena so no exact number but there’s guides there. I agree with Welsh_Edge though that JT17 shouldn’t cost as much per day as 360, plus as I said this tour is already 3 legs in really when we count 2017 so they’ve already paid for all the start up costs. It’s just the daily costs now.

    I guess it also depends on the ticket prices. I'm pretty sure the Stones do better than break-even with their No Filter Tour (2017, 2018 & 2019). These legs consist of approximately 17 shows and their ticket prices are a often heard complaint.
