  1. Originally posted by ddarroch:Finally put Triple M on, 1pm in Sydney. First thing I hear is an ad for the Joshua tour. Then the DJ talks about the tour & announces a competition for tickets (2-from-U2, ring them when they play 2 U2 songs in a row). Straight into Sunday Bloody Sunday, followed by Beautiful Day. Bring it on!

    Steve just won tickets
    Sweet, don't listen to it any more (except their digital classic rock station) - so this is good to know.

    Get yer phone on saved numbers (133353), listen to the stream.

    In addition: register with LiveNation.com.au and Ticketmaster / Ticketek so you can be prepared and check your payment details / contact details are all good, so you can get in there first thing when the tickets go on sale.


  2. Up now on Ticketek but not interactive so you can't identify which seats are where. Glad to have them back but bewildered by choice of venue. Waiting for the local residents to start whining about the noise.

    Thanks Mike, yep see it now. Sydney's seat map looks like a child did it, with the shape of the RZ.

    The set up there is as expected, stage set up to the north, near the Nobel stand, same as Wave Aid & Sound Relief. So GA entry should be from the southern gates.

    Lucky SGC members, looks like the prime seats adjacent to the b-stage (Edge's side) will be in the Ladies Stand. I'm assuming those are reserved for SCG members, but really have no idea.

    Have to admit I'm looking forward to it more than the trek to Homebush.

    Optus Stadium map is a bit more concerning for those in seats. Looks like there's 4 relay towers, the same as JT2017. But instead of one central sound booth, it looks like there's two, on angles. Wonder if that turns out to be the case.
  6. You can't stop me. I just...I just, I just did it.

    In Canada.

    Bono drew that map when he went on a creative tear. Larry was going to stop him but the others had to hold him back.
  8. Someone mail me a Tim Tam. It's The Joshua Tree Tour presented by Tim Tam right?
  10. You realise that means you've ruined it, & now you're going to have to eat it! Yuck

    This is great, we can have u2start going for 24 hours for the announcement party. Canada & Oz now. Once we get tired the euros will be up to continue

    We don't just publish anything - because regardless of what we say or ask, people do take this information and book plans with it, and make plans with it. And when it doesn't happen people can get quite upset with you. We don't want a reputation of publishing garbage. We get no money for anything, we make nothing, so we have nothing to gain by just driving traffic in. And we don't just listen to random sources off the street. I've been doing a U2 website for 25 years, we're the oldest one that has been continuously published, even though we've jumped around locations from time to time.

    - I give more weight to material I know comes from sources with known connections to the band even if I can't share who it is coming from. And these aren't just random people. I consider many of them friends in real life as well, outside of the internet informant game.
    - I put far more weight still in the information if they've got known connections, and have shared good information in the past.
    - I wait until I have confirmation from more than one source unless I know the source is 100%
    - I would rather wait and get it right than be the first one to publish something and get it wrong.
    - I ask for permission to share information. If I don't get permission, I don't share it.
    - I listen and I talk with others, I sound things off of my peers to say 'does this make sense'? Remy - thank you for the ears. Same to some of the rest of you who have heard from me on that front...
    - Finally I don't care how good the source is or has been. If I don't believe it I'll wait. I was given the release date for "Songs of Experience" eight months before it was released, but because I didn't know the source at the time I waited to post it until I was able to confirm it.

    But at the end of the day, until it's published on an official site, we're still going to label it a rumour, right up to the bitter end...


    Thank you for all the info you‘ve shared
  12. Was it the same in the past that there was no info yet online on U2.com right after the announcement of the tour about who is doing the ticket sales?
    I wonder who will be doing the presale for Seoul.
