Will the economy effect your U2 concert attendence for 2009-2010?

[diamond]

Being that the economy in the US along with the rest of the globe is suffering, will that affect how many shows you'll attend if any at all?

 

[Salome]

not being able to get tickets because of the number of people who'll be trying to get them is more likely to stop me

 

[diamond]

Salomey,

Your vote is needed in the poll.

That's a big YES for me. Hopefully, I can make it to at least 1 or 2 shows like I did for Popmart and Elevation, but most likely I won't be able to do 4 shows like I did for ZOO TV and Vertigo tours.

No ones whoring themselves out just yet
We must all be angels . . . let's see if that changes as the hype surrounding the tour amps up

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Right now the lack of tour dates around my area is having more of an effect.

That said, I'll hope to get to more shows in 2010.

I'm hoping the Bongo and company keeps ticket prices sane.

I'll just cut back on travel and hotel costs.

 

[DaveC]

I doubt I'll be able to afford to see the band this year

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

The whole possibly not having a job soon thing may make it hard for me to attend a show this time around.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Less-I'm not going to go into credit card debt like I have before. Not having that hanging over my head feels better to me personally than the temporary enjoyment of concerts. I'm going to FL soon too and that's more of a priority for me.

Speak for yourself.....I'll whore myself out in a church parking lot if I have too...

The whole possibly not having a job soon thing may make it hard for me to attend a show this time around.

. . . the only reason I'll be able to get to a show (if they venture on down to Oz) is that I'll be cashing in on a 40th birthday pressie from the folks . . . can you get your friends and family to pool some cash so you can make it to at least one?

 

[DaveC]

Not unless the band decides to come to Halifax.

 

[Sicy]

1 or 2 like last time.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I voted

Amen - don't go into debt for this. I started saving last year for the tour, so I'm ready. I'll probably go to 3 or 4 shows.

 

[MooMoo!]

No change, I could barely afford it last time, and I can barely afford it now. T___T 1 show as before.

hno:

 

[LyricalDrug]

Definitely less -- there are so. many. fewer. shows. this time around, is the biggest issue. Even if I wanted to splurge, how could I?

 

[mikal]

i voted "no", though financial factors (having a baby, saving up for a house) will probably decrease the amount of shows i go to. but it's not because of the current recession we're in.

 

[Screwtape2]

I think the only economy related effect on the tour for me, is not willing to travel too far for shows. I'm sure a lot of people have that same problem.

 

[tsweeney]

I'll probably be able to go to less. They will play less shows this time around since it is in stadiums. It was easier the last few tours when they played multiple nights in major cities like LA and NY. I'll probably only be able to go to maybe four shows this year.

 

[Lila64]

Less. I'm po. I can't even afford the 'or' to complete 'po'.

 

[RedRocksU2]

*drum*

What MrsSpringsteen said. Using a card to finance multiple shows is just not an option for me anymore.

I might make it to Giants Stadium, the closest venue to my home. That probably will be it for this year.
