If You Had To Guess..How Many

[Val]

U2 fans are there in the world? Explain how you came to your answer. Thanks.

 

[biff]

You ask too much, but there's obviously more than a lot.

 

[Axver]

Actually, there's just one. Me. The rest of you are all fake fans and posers.

You're not a U2 fan if you don't like Mercy though. I don't even know why some people post on Interference if they're not positive about U2 and Mercy.

 

[biff]

Clearly, they're not "real" fans.

The Edge... says... 7. It must be true

Wow. That would be me and my six alter egos.

 

[Val]

I know it a strange question, but I have to give an estimate.

Would approx. 30 million sound right?

very funny Biff lol

 

[u2granny]

Do you mean "fans" or the elusive "true fans"?

 

[bathiu]

just as many as the number of sold Boy and October albums!!

Are you saying I'm not a fan.

 

[JCOSTER]

I would estimate around what their total number of tickets were sold. I mean you have to give or take some for people who didn't go and people who went numerous times.

Does that make sense at all?

At a guess I would say over 1 million.

 

[U2Man]

if you mean true fans, then there's only one.

 

[Vincent Vega]

Well, how many citizens has Great Britain and Ireland?

That, plus some 10 million

 

[Joey788]

15 million to 20 million

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

23,509,987

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

23,509,987

I'm assuming there was some sort of research involved for this?

 

[phillyfan26]

The PhillyPhanPhormula would help out right about now:

World Population - People Who Have Never Heard U2 - People Who Hate Bono - People Who Don't Like U2 - People Who Think Bono's a Pompous Asshole - People Who Think Bono's a Hypocrite - People Who Think Bono Can't Sing - Immature Van Halen Fans Plotting Attacks Against U2 Message Boards = The Answer

You fill in the blanks.

 

[Val]

I know this a stupid question actually, but I really have to give an answer. I'm going to say 20 to 25 million.

perhaps Joey is closer at 15 to 20

Real fans like Achtung Baby and Ultra Violet.


You poser.

 

[U2Kitten]

MILLIONS! I have always said, the few hundred who post here is a very small percentage of the fans around the world who buy the CDs and go to concerts, and nothing we say in threads or vote in polls should be considered a scientific sampling of the fan base

 

[Kildare]

40 million

Hi U2Granny... both!

Also, you might be the person to ask about Bono sites ...Love and Hate Bono . I only came up with:

http://www.bonoonline.com

http://www.makebonohistory.com/

http://www.eliminatebono.com/

This is all for research, so I do appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you all for your input!

 

[LemonMelon]

800 billion

There was great amounts of research done to find that number, all of which was government funded.

You don't worship Zooropa daily.

You shall soon be excommunicated.
