[fullautoreverse]

why thank you

 

[fullautoreverse]

how long do you reckon it would take to get this baby to 500 posts so we could start a thread part II?

 

[DignityPassesBy]

i think we're a while away unless we get a BIG annoucement and everybody goes nuts posting ... wheres earnie when i want to ask what new information he has?

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Here! Nothing new, sorry.

Still the same. March - no promoters. January - not the 'plan' but obviously involved in the plan in some way.

No promoters = ages away from an announcement though. I mean, once a promoter is on board, that's when the work starts. I'm just hanging out to find out if/when a promoter does come on board, and crossing my fingers for a pleasant surprise as much as you guys are. There isn't a lot of confidence out there, except to say that U2 definitely want it to happen.

 

[Axver]

Honestly Axver, whats more important U2 or UNI? ... i think you know the answer that

Well, if U2 come in March, I'll be buying my tickets before I have my uni schedule.

See that? I'll be buying my tickets. No uni will stand in my way. The Vertigo Tour only happens once.

Not knowing is worse then knwoing they're not coming. At least then i can spout anger without hesitation, but i cant atm , as if they do come i'll be turncoating with the bes tof them

I had to read your post about three times but you have a very good point. U2, tell us whether you are coming or not. If you are, announce it, if not, announce it too, because then we can stop the false dawns and stop going to thew effort to write petitions for no reason.

Word is that both Coppel, Frontier and Jack Utsick have made overtures to Paul McGuinness but the figures aren't right yet. All I've heard is venue capacity is an issue - so I guess the whole arena VS stadium issue may be the problem. I still think it's arenas and it's late March.

The good news is that we here at work have been updated that there is a no leave allowed from December 13 to to 16 and again on January 09 to 14 which means some big arse events are due to be announced and go on sale in that window... one of those time periods is sure to be for the Rolling Stone's Easter gigs... I'd hazard a guess the other one may be for.... well... I wont say it just in case it doesnt happen!!

So it seems the wheels are whirring, but we are some ways off an announcement. U2 are still definantly on the 'coming soon' list as are a few other big acts (Robbie, Madonna, Stones) so odds are the tour is still on.

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Oh, just a quick ad - that may also explain the hold up for 'All Because Of You' - maybe they will wait until the tour is announced and U2 fever hits???

Have you heard what those figures are? I understand why it's "not right yet" from the promoters point of view. I'd heard that Coppel and Frontier were balking at the asking price, and they don't really feel the need to have a U2 on their books so they are playing real hardball, but I forgot about Jack Utsick. If they can pony up the cash it might be the smart move for them - they haven't really done anything that big have they? It would be a good move forward for them.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

I'm feeling slightly more confident tonight after being at work and hearing alot more U2 than i usually do and they dedicated a whole segment to them with interviews and a career re-cap and its not even planet rock night so i'm thinking they have some news that we don't

 

[DignityPassesBy]

Maybe the Aus-stereo network have signed something with them now that i think about it more

 

[DignityPassesBy]

everybody go to this site - http://www.coppel.com.au/html/c_tr_fs.html

its the michael coppel music tours site and that is the wishlist of bands that people want to see ... i figure if we all put U2 in it can't hurt and it might make them feel stupid for saying no so far to them

 

[bazza]

done

 

[bono_man2002]

I think you need your Italian lesson ....The word....is Encorla! lol: sorry, its late!)

 

[fullautoreverse]

done

 

[Earnie Shavers]

By the way, I don't know if it's been reported in here yet? All Because of You is out in the first week of November here. 2 versions.

 

[bono_man]

yes...we should all post on the U2 wishlist. Send as many as we can!

 

[bono_man]

Found this post in another thread (the NZ one in Tour News):


"On RadioLive this afternoon they said U2 has confirmed touring New Zealand in March"

Dunno what to think of it. Usually kiwi's cant be trusted.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

That would be a ridiculously good sign. I thought something like that might happen, things will be sorted outside of Australia first (any other countries on the leg) and we'll get our best info from that. Hopefully it puts a boot up the arses of those doing the dealings here. Interesting to see what more NZ info shows up during the course of the day.

Perhaps an NZer here could point us to, or keep an eye on the right news sites?

 

[bono_man]

just rang triple m in brissie and emailed michael coppel. triple m said they havent heard anything as yet.

maybe our nz peoples can do some investigation. can anyone ring this radio sation for us?

(yes i know i just slagged kiwi's off and now i am asking for your help!)

I'm a NZ person!

I will do the rounds...

www.radiolive.co.nz seems to be website for the alleged station... maybe somone could have a sniff around and see if there is an email or somthing... even give them a bell to confirm/deny wether they said this.

For some reason my browser won't open their website.
