within driving distance!

too bad there is not many!

Off topic, but Paul McCartney has some 10 day gap between Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo. Wouldn't be surprised if Chile has a date at the last minute because they're putting tickets on sale 3 weeks before showday.

he's supposed to go bak to the UK then comeback to play in Brasil

yes, it's stupid, but what are we going to do?

 

[kramwest1]

good find, that settles that!
U2.com presale should start on Wednesday or Thursday

Rosephile gets credit for the find.

I'm getting tickets and hoping the pieces fall into place.

 

[BluRmGrl]

Congrats Johannesburg, Cape Town & Winnipeg!!!

Now if we could only get a Dublin announcement. I would consider giving up my Anaheim tickets & I would forsake the chance to attend any other show in North American (except Raleigh or Charlotte - but those aren't going to happen ) for the chance to go see them in Dublin next summer.


Don't they understand??? We need U2 info like zombies need brains!

It starts Thurday!

U2.com presale starts Wednesday at 10am.

Sounds like a preview of hell to me, I'm afraid!

I'm with Axver on this one. And I've always been more of a Rolling Stones kind of girl myself anyway.

You know what I just realized? That's not a SM quote... it's Moonstruck. Both had Olympia Dukakis, though, so do I get partial credit??

[Zoo360]

I hope the SA leg is announced soon.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

BAN HIM/HER!!!

 

[MoodyJ]

U2 are such teases.

Dammit, I was totally OK with them not coming back to Foxboro this leg. Now I'm all excited by a mere rumor.

I refuse to get my hopes up about that.

 

[kassandra]

do you reckon Paul McCartney would have had the most depressing day ever when he turned 64?

Now THAT'S a stage show! Just look at that crowd going bonkers!!!

 

[cleazer]

Is Winnipeg the smallest stadium for 2011? (so far)

 

[Axver]

U2.com really needs to hurry up and announce that Winnipeg gig ...! Who's surprised that they're last with the news?

They're always last when it comes to announcing tour dates.

30,000 seats

I'm impressed that they actually managed to announce the South African shows yesterday, rather than next week! But clearly Winnipeg is all too much for them.

30,000 seats

Per wikipedia, 45,000 with temp seats added. I would think another 5-10k on the field and it could be as much 55k.

As a comparison, U2 played Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield in 2009, and for sporting events it has a capacity of 25,000. However, U2's attendance was above 50,000.

30 000 permanent seats. Up to 10 000 on the field. The temporary seats they are referring to are on the field, but it would be extremely hard...almost impossible, to do with the claw. One end is totally open (behind the claw), so they could put temporary seats there perhaps, but I have never seen it done. The 30 000 permanent seats is from their website. The concert I attended there in the summer had 40 000.

In other words, intimate.

It will be like a club gig, except with the claw.

Maybe they'll play Womanfish...
