Here's another story from the Sunday Honolulu Advertiser (a Hawaii newspaper) - -

U2 may hold 2nd stadium concert

By Rod Ohira
Advertiser Staff Writer

The U2 concert at Aloha Stadium on April 8 is nearing a sellout, sparking anticipation of a second concert.
"We're very optimistic," Aloha Stadium Authority spokesman Patrick Leonard said today of a second concert date. An announcement of a second concert, possibly on April 9, could come as early as Tuesday, he said.

All but 1,000 of the 35,000 tickets to the Irish rockers' April 8 Vertigo tour date were snapped up in the first 45 minutes after tickets went on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, Leonard said.

"It was the fastest sale of tickets ever (at Aloha Stadium)," Leonard said. He noted that it took four hours to sell out Michael Jackson's two concerts, which drew 35,000 each, in January 1997.

Janet Jackson holds the attendance record for a concert at Aloha Stadium at 38,000, set in January 1999, Leonard said.

U2's Vertigo tour appearance in Hawai'i is being presented and produced by The Next Adventure (Clear Channel Entertainment), RZO Productions, Live Nation and Shep Gordon, Leonard said. Leonard said the promoters contacted Aloha Stadium officials on Tuesday to inquire whether April 9 is available and were told that it is.

Reserved seats were priced at $165, $95 and $49.50. In addition, 15,000 field-level general admission tickets were sold at $49.50 each, Leonard said.

The Vertigo tour has played to 3.4 million fans and brought in nearly $140 million worldwide, second only to the Rolling Stones in 2005 revenue.

Adam, here we come

this is wrong:
"The Vertigo tour has played to 3.4 million fans and brought in nearly $140 million worldwide, second only to the Rolling Stones in 2005 revenue."

that revenue amount is for North America only, doesn't include europe

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/30/concert.tours.ap/

they actually made 260 mill worldwide.....

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please let that actually happen.

I think we should start an online petition.

 

[Miroslava]

Petition!!!!111



What should the petition read besides the multiple please, please, pleases?

I think that should be enough right?

 

[ramblin rose]

I think the mutlple pleases would convey our desparation for a second show. Although it might be wise to include the issue of the second show in the verbage. I would hate for them to end up playing Please at the 1st show while not adding a 2nd one.

 

[nurse chrissi]

Petition!!!!111



What should the petition read besides the multiple please, please, pleases?

I think that should be enough right?

I think that adding pretty please and there will be loads of respectful rail skanks in attendance should be included

perhaps we could just doctor up the Dirty Day petition to suit our needs

 

[weinerdog]

Seems like it is gonna happen. The article posted a few pages back looks good, and why would Clear Water(?) tell everyone of an announcement on Tuesday, only to say 'sorry, no 2nd show!'. Maybe I'm too optimistic......

 

[Miroslava]

Oooh, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone and make this a

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, add a second show to Honolulu and while you're at it, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, play "Please" Petition!!!!!111

 

[ramblin rose]

Now you've got it.

 

[Miroslava]

I think that adding pretty please and there will be loads of respectful rail skanks in attendance should be included

perhaps we could just doctor up the Dirty Day petition to suit our needs

Oooh, maybe we should add that too.

Dear U2. You saw what the rail skanks were wearing in the middle of the winter, now imagine what they're going to (or not going to) be wearing in Hawaii!!!111 And they will all be nice and tanned* (with the rail skanks of the more caucasian variety perhaps being a lobstery red, but hey, boobs are boobs!)

Add a second show!!!

hey you add a little glitter dusting to a certain area and you can never tell that you have a 3rd degree burn


so we need to really be sending the petition to a certain bass player then right?
