Going to be funny if SOE, whenever it finally happens, can't replicate that.
 
Thinking about going over from Sweden to Boston and New York for 2 weeks and also during this trip see U2 at Gilette and Metlife. For what i gathered from the 360 tour, US stadium tours does not sell out not nearly as fast as they do in Europe, is this only seats or GA as well?

I am doing a rough plan in my had currently so thinking about when to get tickets ( as late as possible would be best so i can better save money for the trip then :D ) and what type of tickets to get. I prefer GA but the older you get now it gets rougher and rougher to be standing all day and all that jazz, maybe Red Zone then...?

Gunna need some advice.. :D
 
Out of curiosity just checked the hotel rates near Croke for that week.... faaaark. I know it's legal due to hotels not usually charging their "full rate" but still that's outrageous.

I don't think they are going to pack many more dates (if any at all) to the already announced schedule due to the very short breaks between shows as it already stands. I think the most likely North America cities to get second shows are LA, Chicago, Toronto and New Jersey. I just can't see Bono especially handling 4+ shows in a seven day span.
 
After the initial euphoria Iam having doubts. The friend whom I am going with is a republican and given bonos propensity to be political she might feel :crack:. I have the feeling that this will tour will be more political ( justifiably so that's why I love JT)
On top of that it's a t the atrocious Rose bowl which is literally the worst .
Should I skip and just wait for next year,?

Any words of wisdom?

I would advise against anybody waiting for the eventual tour for SOE. It may not happen. This might be it for a few years. We just don't know what they will do. If you care about seeing U2, I'd suggest going to a show this year.

My thoughts exactly. There's no guarantees, which is why after initially figuring I would sit this one out, I'm going to make every effort to get to Chicago after all.

Man, I'd so much rather drop a few hundo on Sat 6/17 in Philly then Sun 6/18. Esp being Sunday is Father Day. Saturday would be a much much better tailgate!
 
When will the added shows go on sale? I'll be trying for GAs, and I would rather see the second NJ show than the first, and don't want to waste my presale code on the first show if I would be able to get tickets to day two (but I'm also nervous about then possibly missing out altogether).
 
Real talk:

How many shows till they ditch the "whole album, every night" promise? I'd like to stay optimistic that they'll stick to it, but I do recall i+e tour being announced with the promise of unique paired shows.

At some point after the regular onsale for the first night shows. If the last two tours are any indication, we'll get another round of presales for the new dates. Hopefully.

I think unique paired shows would require them to "rehearse" a lot more material, whereas all they have to rehearse for this tour are 11 songs and maybe 10-20 others. I bet that the setlists will be ridiculously static this time around.
 
Good evening. Does anyone know what agency or company will likely handle the ticket sales for the European shows, especially Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris, so that we can go ahead and register accounts now, and not have to mess with that at silly o'clock in our home time zone, please?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I think there's cause for optimism, in that the entire tour is billed around them playing the entire album (whether in sequence or not). Sure, the pairs thing was in the original IE announcement, but it wasn't the centrepiece of the tour and an essentially identical amount of shows would have been booked anyway. They'd open themselves up to a wave of negative reviews if they don't do all eleven songs.

But we've been burned enough times that I nonetheless expect to get dudded. Can't wait for them to decide Red Hill is too hard or Exit is too dark or whatever.

(Though I won't shed a tear if they give up on Trip.)
 
The links are now showing up on the U2.com website, and I had already found my way to the Belgian Ticketmaster website. It does appear that credit card info can't be entered until you select a ticket/get to the checkout screen.

Hope everyone gets the tickets they want.

As opposed to how wildly varied they normally are? Static set lists are the name of the game with this band
