"Overwhelming demand.." Yeah right, like you folks didn't know that was going to happen...like duh.
At least those who want GA's and didn't get them in the presale now have a chance. As well as people like me, who are better prepared this time, and were hoping for delayed added shows...
so true. It was figured out long ago exactly where and pretty much when they were going to add the extra dates. I understand they need to wait to see if the actual demand is there but it sucks. If they'd release tickets for ALL the shows at the same time the demand wouldn't be freakishly out of control and more people would be able to get the tickets they want. Then again maybe it just means they could fuck everyone over all at once and line the pockets of scalpers basically right in front of our faces.

No London??????all 4 are sold out aswell
Bunch of bullcrap pretending there would be no disastrous demand in Amsterdam and New York with only 2 dates.
You might want to change NY's 2 to 4.
What intrigues me, though, is that ALL shows are in pairs back to back. With the added shows there's a couple day rest, but the new shows are again back to back. There has to be something going on with that. One date innocence, one date experience?

“We are going to try to have a completely different feeling from night one to night two,” said Bono, “and have some fun playing with the idea of innocence and experience. More to be revealed!”
I'm surprised by that, but they could still be announced later. Barcelona's first two go on sale today, with a space (and almost certainly demand) for two extras to be announced tomorrow. Maybe they'll announce extra Barcelona and London shows at once.
I won't be shocked if there are still a handful of extra dates to come in the US either, especially two more in New York to bring its total to eight. Incidentally, if there ARE eight New York shows, it will equal the record for most U2 shows in one city on the same tour (Sydney, Lovetown) and beat the record for the most consecutive U2 shows in one city (seven in Melbourne, Lovetown; the eight in Sydney were in non-consecutive blocks of three, two, and three).
U2 already played NYC eight times in 2005: 5/21, 10/7, 10/8, 10,10, 10/11, 10/14, 11/21, 11/22.

I understand the commercial logic behind this approach, but it does out fans like us (rather than casual fans) in a difficult position. I have tickets for the first Amsterdam show but not the second, and I've already booked my flights and hotel so I'm somewhat limited in terms of the new brace of concerts. If those four shows had been up from the start I would have been able to take a more measured approach.
As has been said above, I hope the additional dates depress the prices these tickets are going for in the secondary market.

So now I'm wondering if I buy another fan club membership for the code will my tickets be canceled because they are from the same household as the tickets I bought in the previous presale??? Why is this so difficult?

Well this fucks things up for scalpers actually, now they have to dump prices at these venues.
6 shows at msg? Has this ever happened? I wonder if set list duration is going to go down.

it's one membership per household so yes they probably will cancel them
