I don't see them going to Australia or South America with the 360 stage. Too much money to transport the stage after Europe to South America and then ship it to Aussie.

The Smith's website says "Presale runs 2/20 10AM - 5PM", which does not agree with the u2.com info.
Does anyone have any presale codes left anyway???

And it's expensive to operate on a day to day basis, especially with high energy prices compared to when the tour was on the drawing board. The majority of the 2010 legs can be accomplished with 2 Claws instead of 3, which will cut costs substantially. I agree that the profit margin is probably too low (and/or risk too high) to justify transporting the claws all over the place, particularly for fewer than 10 shows on a continent.
My understanding from the website was that you could buy tickets on 2/20 if you joined the fan club NOW. For all of us that have remaining codes, the presale information that U2.com sent out is incorrect.
If you look at the e-mail that was sent out, there are four different links, depending on which group you are in. Make sure you click on the right one.
Also, on one section of U2.com (as well as the e-mail that was sent IIRC), it indicates that the Horizon and Breathe presales will start at the same time, as well as the Boots and Magnificent presales starting at another time. However, if you go to the "Tours" page, it lists four different start times. As always, U2.com is on top of their game.
EDIT: They sent out an e-mail with corrected times after I posted the above comment...

I never got the U2.com email. The links will also appear on the tour site right?

Good lord, this sale is going to be a nightmare, I just tried a test purchase and the site is craaaawwwlllliiiinnnngggg... Can just imagine how it's going to be when everyone hits it for U2...
Let's try to contain the discussion on the presale/general sale to the thread in the General Discussion forum. Thanks.

I don't trust staying at any hotels in Denver. That was a total mess.

I think I'm going to try to get a ticket and see where it goes from there. Of course I said that about Chicago too... *still holding onto Chicago ticket*
Sheesh, the presale just allowed me to buy 3 tickets off of a code that should have only had one ticket left, and my seats are amazing. I seriously paid less than half of what I paid for Chicago seats last year that were further away. Utah 4 evar!

Scheduled Opening Act: Lenny Kravitz

Didn't Lenny open for them too? Elevation? Wait, maybe I'm getting the U2 tours confused with Aerosmith...
So now I have a Muse ticket AND a U2 ticket for SLC. If I want to extend my trip to UT to visit the national parks (Bryce, Zion, or Arches) AND go to a concert too, is it better to do it in April (Muse) or June (U2)? I can only go on one trip.

June will be fairly hot for Southern Utah, but there's always the potential for rain in April.
If you are doing a Bryce, Zion, and Arches trip, I highly recommend Goblin Valley.

The heat is what I was afraid of in June...
Hm, interesting! Is that somewhere between Bryce and SLC?

American domestic airfares a bloody expensive! I'm going to spend a fortune going back & forth between LA & Sun Valley. Then I'll get charged even more, for the pleasure of actually stowing some lugguge in the hold.
Give me Europe's Ryan Air anyday. No frills, but sooooo cheap!

Southwest Airlines (southwest.com) doesn't charge you for checking bags. I'm not an experienced Southwest flyer but I've heard good reviews of the airline. They're similar to easyJet and Ryan Air. So if you're used to Ryan Air, Southwest may be the way to go.
Coming out of Austin, SWA is nearly always the cheapest way for me to fly anywhere domestic.

I was totally out of the loop this past week! Had one presale code left and totally would have used it for SLC. Gonna wing it tomorrow in the public sale. Hoping for some GA's.

So I am trying to get a sense of how long to spend in SLC. I figure three days besides the show should more than do it. Anywhere else outside the city besides Bryce Canyon I should see? Is Park City reachable by public transportation?

Got my GA in the general sale this morning, easy! There's actually still GA's available, & we're nearly 2hrs into the sale!
Booked my accommodation for the night. Decided on the University Guest House. $100 for a 2x queen room (incl. tax). Close to the stadium, & close to the light rail line. Also east of the stadium, most people will be travelling west, back to downtown, so traffic to the guest house shouldn't be too bad.
The other close-by option is the Marriott University Park. $139 for a 2x queen room (excl. tax). A little closer than the guest house, but further from a light rail station.
See ya in SLC

dumb question but anyone know any good bars around the area for some after concert beverages? 
That's an interesting question. I remember after the Vertigo show which was a Saturday night we couldn't even find a restaurant open, nevermind a place that sold alcohol.
