  1. Auckland Show 2 in details
  2. Originally posted by Streetfighter:This is dangerous for a band like u2. Not only because they risk to lose money in a tour which is very expensive because of the distances between shows, but also this could result in a loss of confidence of the band. Confidence to be still relevant or to still be able to attract people.


    Not really. The band know that they'll probably never play any of these places again, and that there core audience is in Europe and America.
  3. And this show is going to sell a hell of a lot more tickets as a Joshua Tree tour rather than something from the songs albums. When there's not a gimmick like the 360 claw to bring fans in, they need the draw card of their biggest album and hits
  4. Collector tickets were supposed to be dispatched about a month before the show; anyone got theirs yet?
  5. Wow, that's still disastrous - and I'm not buying the "nah, they'll get rid of those tickets fast as the gigs come closer". I'd say less than 20 of these left-field seats have been sold since I posted screenshots a couple of months back. What a trainwreck..

    I posted this on June 25th. Exactly 5 months back. Dismal. You can even see the same 2 seats on 3rd row available. Incredible.


  7. They could move people and block off other sections... but yeah, not great.
  8. They want NZ$260 which is US$165 or Eu150 for those seats. That's a hell of a lot of money if you're not a rusted on fan and more if you're a couple wanting two ticketes. Be interested to see what they do with those of us sat at the back.
  9. And the (almost) whole section on the left has become available. Not nice at all.
  10. It won't matter once it's dark and everyone is hammered ,it's not the first time they've failed to shift a lot of tickets for consecutive shows ,in 1987 on the original JT tour the 2nd night in Croke park was little over half full ,Lovetown tour again in Auckland they played 2 nights in a stadium one of the nights was sold out the other wasn't even a quarter full same happened on the Zoo TV tour in some shows in Europe, NZ and Japan and this is when they were in their commercial peak.
  11. Yeah, not nice. Auckland 2 is a problem. An italian rock singer had that problem this summer in an italian stadiums tour. Too many dates and not so much interest in people. In some shows, it had to move the stage from the stand to the center of the stadium. General admission became the half and all the people in the side stands were relocated in the curved stand. It was not really a good thing to see… I suppose they will not do a thing like this with a so huge stage, but anyway it's no good. It's easy to say that it doesn't matter. The tour is very short (not tens and tens of dates like ZOO TV) and expensive (big distances between shows), so it matters. It is a problem.

    You can't compare those situations. You can't compare world tours with this short tour. Even Lovetown, if I'm not mistaking, was 27 shows only in Aus and NZ. This tour is extremely short and they can't play in half empty stadiums as if it's nothing.
