Joshua Tree Tour 2017 - Rumors & General Discussion

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I am still planning my US, Boston - New York trip with hopeful U2 shows. Just reserved hotel rooms that will be charged when i get to the hotel.

5 nights in Boston and 6 in New York. But now to the question, what is the easiest way to get all the way to Gilette Stadium when in Boston? Just realized its along way from actual Boston. I wont be renting a car so i Uber a good way to get there?

The reserved hotel is close to Bunker Hill monument.

Then we have New York, what is the best way to get out to Metlife stadium?

Gillette? Take the train. If you have no qualms about chilling in the parking lot after the game for 2 hours, then you can rent a car. Otherwise take the train... driving there is an absolute nightmare. Hewson can tell you where the train picks up... I'm assuming South station.

As for MetLife? You can take the train from Penn Station or from Hoboken, NJ. Buy a round trip ticket ahead of time.

An Uber from midtown will cost about $50 each way, possibly more with surge charging.

Yeah, that was actually really surprising to see. Honestly that may have been the most energy I've seen him play with in a loooooong time.

Hopefully a sign of things to come!

Yes South Station, I posted a link a couple of posts above with info.

There is something to it. They're old. They need more rest between shows these days. That's not a debatable thing.

Oh its very debatable since none of us have the bands private health info or know exactly why recent stadium or arena tours were booked, the way they were booked.

George H.W. Bush, Henry Kissinger and Kirk Douglas are old, the members of U2 not so much. Especially when they can bang out versions of I Will Follow and Gloria just as energetic as 1981.

Are we actually arguing about whether older, wealthier bands would undertake touring schedules as punishing as those of young, hungry, and very poor bands?

Fuck me. Is Sean Spicer in the room or something?

U2 is the youngest, poorest, and needs the most punishing touring schedule imaginable. Period.

I have alternative facts that U2 are playing 1.5 million shows this year.

Well, the only comparisons that have been made are U2 today to U2 in 2005 and the Rolling Stones of today in terms of tour schedules. All three are very rich, certainly not starving, and are certainly older than most active artist today.

Does anyone know if Gillette only allows a small wallet and clear plastic bags in during concerts?

Gillette Stadium - Patriots Security

This all seems to relate to games.

Thats bad to hear. For me it was still possible to find tickets in all categories around 10.45. Keep trying and hope for some tickets to flow back in system..

It's really funny that U2 decides to give too few (or no) concerts in big markets, whereas there are also markets where there are thousands(!) of GA tickets still available one week after start general sale...!?!? ... Pittsburgh... Lazy bastards there in Pittsburgh...

... what??

Fine. U2 are in perfect health and will be touring every day for the next 12 years. George HW Bush will parachute into each concert during Streets.

Poor guy is going to splatter onto the roof on opening night (and again in Dallas, hometown Houston and Toronto),
Good thing that at 92 his strength is just getting exponentially stronger (he can wipe the floor with Harrison Ford with one hand tied behind his back), so he'll recover fast.

Okay, thanks. I guess I need to shop for a plastic bag then!

 

[jakehu]

Finally got 2 pairs of 2 x £110 for London 2. Bit more than I wanted to pay as shelled out for GA for London 1 & the best seats as a treat for Dublin 1, but got them, that's all that matters !

Featuring Mumford and Sons and that band that everyone thought was Mumford and Sons but then realized Mumford and Sons is terrible and the Lumineers made all the songs you thought were okay by Mumford and Sons.

How are the tickets sales going for the added american dates? They go on sale today?

Have the added europearn dates sold out?

Just went on u2.com and followed the ticket links for tampa,houston and pittsburgh. Pittsburgh hardly has any availability at all where as tampa and houston seem to have a fair few seats available in the upper tiers.
