I don't see U2 selling 95k tickets for the Washington DC show. The show is on a Tuesday night and I think the casual fan will be intimidated by traffic and ticket prices. I don't think U2 has a strong enough fan base to sell 10k tickets at $250 even if the show was on a weekend.

MaddyU2 posted this info in another thread: I don't post here a lot but I'm from Philly. The local radio station is WMMR and the afternoon DJ Pierre Robert stated earlier today that the band would not come to Philadelphia until 2010. I don't know where he got his info from, so take it with a...

Also some of the worst traffic in the country at a field that really isn't metro accessible.

FedEx Field on a Tuesday night???? Get real :huh:

I love stadium shows. The atmosphere is more festive and energetic. People are going to get pushed...it's a rock concert.

Who says they have to wait to start rehearsing until after the official album drop? They could already be rehearsing for an April arena tour in the states. OR- even better, I like the idea of a St Patricks Day release and a free stadium show! That would generate some publicity.

First single will be released in early March 2009, album following on April 1, and a US stadium tour starting starting May/June. Europe starting July/August. US/Canada arena tour in October/November. A random New Years Eve show. South America in February 2010. Australia and Pacific in March...

Just sent out an email so everyone above this message should be covered.

I think they like the controlled setting an indoor arena offers. Mixing it up would be cool but I doubt it'll happen. My biggest suggestions for the next tour. Raise the ticket price a couple bucks to cover the additional man hours- but all tickets must be picked up at the will-call window.

Think about how much extra money you will have to spend on trips next time they tour. I use to smoke and still get pissed at myself when I go for a run. Go jump off a cliff, at least you will have an adrenaline rush instead of a slow drawn out death. Stay strong!

Back in the day...

Congrats! Haverford is supposed to be a pretty good school and Philadelphia is an awesome city! As Shaynar said, everyone will be in the same situation so just embrace it, put yourself out there and everything will fall into place. Even if you feel uncomfortable at first, just sit down with...

So what is up with the 6 month absence!??:eyebrow: I hope all is well on the home front.

Ahh business is business. I remember they would go off to Canada and Mexico for a couple days during the US legs for some tax reason too.
