Bands have sat on side line due to U2 tour taking $$ that fans would be able to spend on another show. REM RADIOHEAD Stones would not tour at same time as U2.
Roger Waters is about the only large tour to come forward this year. Eagles are canceling shows due to economy
So will they wait or plan next summer with U2 gearing up and if U2 could put out an album in the mean time you could get 32 shows instead of 16.
Touring is $$ so lots of bands need the cash.

I figured you were trying again to make some crazy conspiracy theory. Allow me to let you in on a little secret, these bands don't tour unless they have a new album, and none of them do
REM unfortunately aren't in the same touring league anymore. How come you didn't mention Pearl Jam, oh that's right it would have rendered your theory useless.

I have a GA for Athens, but I've been planning to go since April. I'm cautiously excited right now. But even if the show doesn't go on, I'm still going to Athens for the weekend.
That's a good idea. Greece needs the money now.
Seriously, since I cannot cancel my flights, I'll go to all the cities I've book flights to as well, just change my travel plans a bit in regards to hotels and where I'll stay for how long and so on. Shouldn't be a big problem.
Right now, I just don't see the early European dates go ahead as planned, I'm very much in doubt, even though I'm usually an optimist. I hope we'll at least get the later shows, I have tickets for some of those as well. Open air season in mid-Europe should end in September. Rome is in October because it's still warm there around that time.

Aaah, yes Canada.
Montreal is on that list of places that U2 always seem to play that much better, more intense and the place just goes off.
Other spots? Rotterdam and Denver come to mind... Northern CA (whether Oakland or San Jose)...

We were talking last night about the problem of rescheduling for MLB stadiums next year, people here seemed to think it'd be an easy fix, but the people in charge of making the schedules were not pleased with what they had to do this year, I don't think they'll be all that accommodating to do it again when their efforts for 2010 were all for not.
Why don't you worry about getting your refunds and leave everyone else to make their own decisions.
Exactly ramblin rose - at approximately $20 total processing fees for 8 tickets we shall not be losing any sleep over this! TM have had costs in this and it was our choice to request a refund rather than attend the rescheduled shows. Just glad to be getting $500+ back without any drama.

But the '09 tour dates were announced and went on sale in March of that year, after the '09 mlb schedules had been set. Same with the '10 dates, they were announced and went on sale in Oct '09, after the '10 mlb schedule had been set. Our point is, the '11 mlb schedule wouldn't even be close to being set now, so there would be even fewer problems then there would have been for '09 and '10. If anything, it'll be much easier, not harder.

Changing plans to Europe is too short of a notice $$ for me but after seeing U23D I vowed to make it to south America for a show/vacation next time. I'm definitely going to save for that!
The MLB baseball schedule is done around July-August for the following season.So right now ,Live Nation has pretty much the 2011 summer dates open for them.
As for the new cities that might get added,my bet are on Mexico city,Foxborro,St-Louis and Austin......and Pittsburgh

I purchased tickets from stubhub too and they will not give you a refund. They did say that I could try to re-sell the ticket on stubhub when the show was rescheduled if I couldn't make it. Good deal for them, I guess they would get another commission then
Thanks for the info paul. I need to do that with a couple of tickets.
You have the regular eBay listing option too if you're not able or don't want to go to the new date. Some people aren't aware of the sales that go on in forums so they use individual listings there. Stubhub has a reputation for higher ticket selling and buying prices. I got my Honolulu tickets from someone who couldn't make the new date for a bit over face plus postage. The tickets had the old date listed on them and everything went fine on show day. I wasn't planning on going to Hawaii until the rescheduled show was announced. So maybe you can make someone very happy!

I had the exact eBay experience for the exact same event. That was before I knew of theticket threads here on interference but eBay is another good option.

I would love an Austin show, but logistically I don't think the Claw would fit in their stadium.
You might not want to be so quick to try to unload tickets for 2011.
Remember, due to stadium availbility, there's no way they'll be able to stick to the same order of shows they had originally scheduled for this year. In other words, maybe Miami will be the 2011 NA tour opener next year. Or maybe Denver will be the final concert on the entire 360 Tour. You might regret not hanging onto those tickets.

I think it was the matter of getting the cranes in there, it wasn't designed for that, someone had brought it up when the tour started and there was discussion of this.
And there may be other issues. I can't recall a whole lot of concerts being played there, if any, and the reason sometimes is as small as not having the right facilities for a backstage area. I know a lot of college stadiums have this problem.

Though the echo in the ArenA sucks, the city's MUCH better(and a decent soccer team too!).

You've clearly haven't seen U2 perform in Rotterdam then.
Though I agree with you on the Arena and the city. But you're talking nonsense again about their football team.

And you're just jealous because you want to see a U2 concert in the Netherlands. With all of us.

I've gotten pretty good at being able to tell which listings are fans justing wanting to get what they paid back and those wanting to make a buck.

I saw the opening 3 "Zooropa" tour shows in Rotterdam. I had a great time. The shows were amazing.
Is the stadium acoustically perfect? No. Most stadiums are not. Morst are not designed for that purpose.
I've heard bootlegs from other Rotterdam shows... I stick with my original assessment. U2 and Rotterdam go together. I'd spend the money to travel to see them there again.

I still hope they add Cleveland, we have a brand new stadium, doesn't get used in the summer and is big enough for them. Though I'm waiting for refund info. A yr from now is too far in advance for me. I didn't get GA's anyway.

I went to both Wembley shows last summer so it really isn't in budget this year.
But, if the shows were to go on as scheduled and Bono is feeling ok I would be craving a European show badly!
