I think if they only had $250 USD seats then maybe you'd have a point about them being somewhat greedy. But the fact is there are seats for $35, $50, $90 and $250 plus Red Zone available on this tour. U2 realize they have fans in all disposable income brackets who want to see them live and they...

It's true they're not a great 'singles' band or put much of a focus on having radio friendly singles versus just great songs. But the choice of the lead single does impact whether the casual fan will buy the CD, the amount of radio play it gets on different formatted stations, and how long the...

I think its degree of success I'm talking about. I was in my late 20's when AB came out - a huge fan of the band and couldn't wait for what was next after the 'we need to go away and dream it all again' comment from Bono. There was so much hype and excitement surrounding AB that I think it was...

H, Yes, there will be tickets available from scalpers for the Toronto shows. From past experiences, both shows will sell out within 15 minutes ( The ACC holds about 20,000 ). I think for the Elevation tour, the 2 shows were sold out within 12 minutes so it will be tough to get through on...
