All upper deck tickets are now 35 bucks in Pittsburgh.

And now I see that TM has opened another 1212 tickets for the Tampa show, in addition to the 631 already available.
It's hard to gauge these things with TM at the helm.
Those tickets are directly at the side of the stage so I'm presuming these have been opened up due to the stage layout not restricting these seats
Not counting the "blocked off sections in PA" is cheating a little, but yeah, the tour is a success I'd say.
By U2 standards, anything that doesn't lose money ala POPMART should be considered a success.
I would also think this tour will be the top grossing tour this year, unless Metallica sells out everywhere.

Since U2 are only doing 33 shows, there is a good chance it won't be the top grossing tour of the year. Metallica, Guns N Roses, and Coldplay are doing large scale tours this year. With Guns N Roses and Coldplay, its a continuation of a tour that started in 2016, but the number of 2017 dates scheduled is higher than U2's 33 dates. U2's tour is more of selection of shows rather than a full scale tour.
Well, with 8 more US cities added that could put them on top.
Wow, did not see that coming. I guess Songs Of Experience album and that tour won't be coming for another year or so now.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the album didn't arrive until next Fall and the resulting tour in the Spring of 2019 at this point.
So Pittsburgh isn't looking too shabby. Here are the remaining tickets.
They have closed off about 7000 tickets in the uppers. So Not sure what the total capacity is, but say it's 55,000, they would have 48k available and about a thousand or so unsold of those...
So conservatively they may hit around 45k in attendance.
Not up on your tech there stinger, are we?Although the boxscore may not be out for a while, we should be able to see video of the show by tomorrow. In fact, if some people have that "scope thing", people could be watching the show live tonight. So will soon see how the stadium looked in terms of being full/near sellout or not.
I wonder how the new shows like Buffalo, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, San Diego and Detroit will do. A lot of these cities have not been played by U2 since 2005 on the Vertigo Tour.
well it looks like quite a few of the cheap seats they opened up for Pittsburgh are getting picked up. Still with the upper half of the top tier closed off, we are still lookin at about a 40k crowd.
I read this morning that the upper tiers were covered in tarp and people reassigned to sit in the lower level.
They'd better save that tarp for the St Louis and Kansas City shows.
Perhaps some of the others too.

I still think Pittsburgh will break the 50,000 mark. 7000 blocked off at the top, and about 1000 unsold from what i could see yesterday. If there is a 60 to 65k capacity, that's still a big number for them at a stop like this.
I don't know if the 7,000 number that was blocked off in the upper deck is an official number or something, but based on the size of the upper deck, that seems a little low to me. If I had to guess, it would be closer to 10,000.
I dunno, based on the amount of unsold sections, if I had to guess, I wouldn't say anything more than 45,000 showed up.
BVS told them to GTFOIt wasn't scientific, i just counted the number of rows blocked off multiplied by the seats in each row and multiplied that by the number of upper sections on each side. The back upper deck was not blocked off.
