How many times have you seen U2 live?

[cobl04]

Yeah, I met him in 2010. Bit insane, but lovely!!

I most certainly could have phrased myself better.

[bonocomet]

15 times.

Two of them were Bono and Edge only shows, but still very special. When they reunited with BB King after 25 years and performed When Love Comes to Town with him in 2008. And the Decade of Difference show at the Hollywood Bowl where they performed some surprises, like A Man and a Woman and Staring at the Sun, 2011.

 

[Partyslammer]

Technically, I've bought tickets for 30 shows, but I missed one 1984 show due to our car blowing an axl on the freeway on the way to the show and left early for a 1985 show because I had a horrible case of the stomach flu. I wound up buying a ticket from an agency for the 3rd show of that stand and finally saw a complete Unforgettable Fire tour show. Thus, I've seen them 28 times, at least once every tour except the Amnesty tour and the Lovetown tour...

[smuts]

ZOO TV Wembley stadium - was pretty bummed that we got Salman Rushdie but no WOWY.
360 Wembley 1st night
I & E - final night at the O2 which was amazing.

Had to duck out of Popmart due to illness and always regret not pressing buy when I had tickets in the basket for Elevation Earls Court.

 

[sonichka11]

Huh, thought I already posted in here.

5 total. Popmart, Elevation, 360 x2, JT 2017.

This thread should be how far have you travelled to see U2. I'm so jealous of the people that live in big centres and can easily see the band every tour. I've had to travel a total of 17,000 kms if you count the return journey.

 

[sfu2doc]

58 shows for me!
1st was ZooTV indoor in philly. Most recent Rose Bowl 1 - two weeks ago.

 

[rennowba]

Did 3 on th vertigo tour. Manchester, London and Glasgow

Live 8 if that counts

3 on 360 Dublin, London and Cardiff

Glastonbury

3 londons shows on i&e

Doing London and Dublin on the Joshua tree tour

So 13 times for me. All been amazing experiences. Wish I'd have gone to elevation which came very local to me. Was just getting into the band at this time and was only 14/15. Remember some people going from school though

Best gig seeing them on the vertigo tour in Manchester for the first time was something special, going to Dublin was unreal then the innocence tour was so good seeing them in doors. It's hard to pick a favourite.

Would probably say Glastonbury was the worse gig but still good

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Just 9 so far. From Elevation to now with my JT30 fix. I'd love to hit double digits with my favourite band. Might happen.

 

[Mac_Fly]

Dallas was my 28th show. I heard a poster on here once say he had seen the band 234 times. I was always jealous of that guy.

After this tour it will be 22 for me:

War - 1
UF - 1
JT - 1
ZOO TV - 3
POPMART - 2
ELEVATION - 4
VERTIGO - 3
360 - 3
I&E - 2
JT30 - 2
