U2 dates sell out in 10 cities
by Rob Evans
LiveDaily News Editor
Tickets went on sale over the weekend for U2's fall performances in 11 North American
cities, and "immediate sellouts" were logged for 10 of the shows, according to promoter
Clear Channel Entertainment.
Though quick sellouts are the norm for U2's performances, there was a question as to
how the tour's fall leg would fare in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York
and Washington, D.C.; ticket on-sales for the tour had been postponed for a week.
Sellouts were announced in South Bend, Ind.; Montreal; Hamilton, Ont.; Chicago;
Baltimore; Philadelphia; Austin, Texas; Denver; Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. Additional
nights were added in Los Angeles and Chicago after the initial dates sold out, and those
shows also sold out.
At press time, a few tickets remained for U2's performances at the Thomas and Mack Center
in Las Vegas. Those tickets were being sold through Tickets.com outlets and through the
venue box office, according to Clear Channel.
Tickets for U2's fall performances in Providence, R.I.; Oakland, Calif.; New York City and East
Rutherford, N.J., will go on sale between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1. Details can be found in the
itinerary below. A limited number of pre-sale tickets will be available to registered members
of U2's official website beginning on Thursday (9/27); check the U2 site for details.
Registered members of U2.com will have a chance to participate in an Internet pre-sale
scheduled to begin on Thursday (9/27).
The opening acts for the fall leg of U2's Elevation tour will be Garbage (in South Bend,
Montreal, Hamilton, Chicago, Baltimore and New York City), Stereophonics (in East
Rutherford, Providence and Philadelphia) and No Doubt (in Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City,
Los Angeles, and Las Vegas).
