4.2 million into 50,000 is what Auckland's equation will be.
LA's will be somthing into 70,000ish factoring in Anahiem is just down the road + Oakland + SD + Phoenix X 2.
u2wedge said:To put things in perspective Axver, how old are you and how many shows have you been to?
I'm 35 and have seen the band 8 times and my first show was 18 years ago. It's not like U2 is touring here every year. We in the US feel your pain as well. You may get the impression from people like Ramblin' Rose and Miroslava that these shows are just a hop skip and a jump away, but they are the exception rather than the rule. I once went through a 9 year drought waiting for U2 to come back to my area, so I can identify with your comments completely.
Axver said:
Of course that comment seems mean once it's taken out of context. Put it back in context though and you'll see that all I want is for locals to enjoy concerts we didn't even think we'd get.
I'm tired of this argument, especially as I never intended for there to be any argument. I simply hoped that America would be content with its 70-odd shows. Of course I welcome anyone who comes here, but I never even thought U2 would ever play New Zealand again - so shouldn't the lucky locals be given preference to see U2, a band who may never even come to their country again?

Miroslava said:As far as I am concerned, this is a once in a lifetime thing for me, so if I can do it, why not? Life's to damn short.

Miroslava has racked in quite a few air miles and has spent quite a bit 'o money this year

Miroslava said:The thing I found about Mexico City (was just there a little over a year ago) is the transportation... Moving around can be a bit of a nightmare if you don't know what you're doing. As a single woman, I dont know that I'd get on a cab and the buses are crazy. There's metros too, but dunno... And again, I don't intimidate easily... For me personally, it just would not be worth the hassle and it's not lile lil ol' me is deprived of shows or anything
So yeah, if anything, Monterrey it is

security isnt too strict here, you could probably film the security guards on the way in
timothius said:U2RMW...what are the chances of you being in NZ next year for the concerts?
If not I think we will have no problem getting a good quality, steady shot.
Axver said:
I wish I'd never said anything now. I didn't want anyone to take it the wrong way but now it seems all of you have and it just makes me terribly sad.
All I want is for New Zealanders who never even thought they'd see U2 again to be able to see the shows. That's all. What's the harm in that?

Axver, we want the same thing for you, and if we choose to join you, we'd hope you'd be happy to see us. We're your U2 pals, aren't we!?
