Why no date(s) in North Carolina?

[Thomfoolery]

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, buy why did North Carolina get screwed for this tour? It seems like every other tour has had at least a Charlotte date--why not this time?

I love that every city in America that didn't get a U2 concert, even though they are playing here about 7 million times this year, got screwed.

U2 hates North Carolina, that's why.

Agreed Thomfoolery. We're driving to MSG to see a show. Sad actually.

Not sure what to make of this comment. NC, SC, VA, WV, KY, and TN have been shut out of dates. The shows in DC are mid-week. Do you think that's reasonable?

It was sarcasm, the bit about U2 hating North Carolina. I think he was referring to the "screwed" comment, and the sense of entitlement it denotes.

I think I've hurt myself laughing.


Annnnnyyyyyy way...........
Granted, I'm biased (being from Wilmington, NC) - but I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask why we didn't get any dates this go 'round. I mean, damn! didn't Charlotte sell out for Elevation? We would certainly do it again... could probably sell out Charlotte AND Raleigh/Chapel Hill. Sad, but I don't think we'll get the chance to show any NC love to the lads in 2005.

having lived in chapel hill for a few years, i sympathize. nc, hell, the whole south (minus atlanta), usually gets passed over on most tours. come on, not everyone in the south is a country-listenin' nascar-lovin' hick!

How sad, too bad. At least your hemisphere has concerts and you don't have to fly halfway across the fucking world to see your favourite band.

I went to the show in Charlotte last tour amd it was not sold out. They are just trying to play where sold out crwds will see them.

 

[aldamon]

They also showed up late because of the heavy rain and played a truncated show. It was well under 2 hours. I thought they'd come back and give us the show we should have had in 2001.

 

[Kilikina778]

Surprised...

I was actually surprised there wasn't a Charlotte show either. Thank God for DC! Any other North Carolinians going to DC?

 

[aldamon]

We would be going to DC but of course the shows are mid-week. My wife's a teacher, so we don't have a lot of flexibility with vacation time. Too bad too. The accoustics at the MCI Center are great IMO. At least they were in 2001.
