Thanks for Your Patience

We at U2.com would like to thank you for your patience around the recent postponement of the Vertigo Tour dates. As we're sure you can appreciate, changes of this nature generate a great deal of work behind the scenes.

We hope to have the situation resolved soon. We apologise for the delay and thank you again for your continued patience.

"Recent postponement"? Someone has a rather loose definition of the word "recent".

 

[Liesje]

Yeah, I would substitute for "continued"

 

[Vincent Vega]

I had tickets for March 25th when I was in Melbourne.
Then the shows were postponed and I so hoped that I could stay in Australia till November/December.

Now I had to go home because I didn't find work

I know the reason for the postponement is really very important, but it's sad anyways.

 

[U2girl]

So much for "they're not coming, forgot about the fans"

 

[Val]

It doesn't sound much like a statement from the band.

 

[westendgirl]

Yeah, some statement...

 

[Carek1230]

Well, it's something but only something better than nothing and nothing is still all we've heard.

 

[westendgirl]

More likely that it was drafted by a certain moderator over on the zoo in order to quell the imminent uprising about the delay in any word on the rescheduling...god forbid anyone be allowed to speak their mind over there!

Is this news article necessary? I mean, U2.com isn't saying anything here that is worthwhile, it just seems like the same ole "WE'RE ABOUT TO TELL THE DATES." I mean, I realize the severity of the situation but these little "almost there" articles don't help.

 

[bono_man]

well, at least its something!

 

[Val]

is it?

"Recent postponement"? Someone has a rather loose definition of the word "recent".

If that's how they define 'recent' I wonder how they define 'soon'?!

people begged for some sort of statement and here it is, but yet you still moan?

jeesus

yes and what a great statement it is

I am not the type to be complaining, and actually I'm not. When I read it, my first thought was...
who's the statement actually from. Doesn't in any way say it's from the band.

I'd wait forever for this band.

 

[U2girl]

I was under the impression the official website speaks on behalf of the band/U2 organisation.

I'm sure that the only thing good enough would be a hand-written letter signed by band members.

 

[Val]

I never take anything for granted.

I do recall when Larry addressed the situation with the tixs, he signed his name.

Either way, good things are worth waiting for.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

yes and what a great statement it is

why go on what did you want them to say? because its pretty obvious they dont know themselves? you wanted them to lie to you? you wanted them to say something that was totally untrue just so you could moan at that aswell?

I got mine last week. Didn't anyone else?

 

[corianderstem]

Ssh! Remember, you're not supposed to mention the Sooper Sekrit U2 Fan Club!

 

[missknowitall]

Bono brought my letter of apology to my house, it was the least he could do he said, ha! Seriously, wish the statement said a little more but it gives me confidence in knowing that they are trying very hard to figure out the best possible resolution to this sad situaiton.

I'm glad U2 fans in Liverpool know exactly what U2 fans in Australia are like, are feeling and are thinking.

 

[oscar08]

It would be nice to let us know the dates in November as people want to plan things. I thought Bono Said on the Denton Interview dates where going to be announced the following day for November. I think the band themselves don't even know!
