War Child
Glad to see the early big sales numbers, definitely surprised me.
Celine Dion did a huge tour back in February 2008. Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
Robbie Williams did Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria (that's only 3 though, plus in 2006).
That's all I can think of really.
As the rush for U2 tickets continue, Big Concerts said on Sunday Computicket’s systems never actually crashed but admitted that sales were very slow at some points.
At the weekend, thousands of people went online or queued at Computicket outlets to book a seat at one of the Irish super group’s performances in Johannesburg and Cape Town early next year.
Tickets were all but sold out only hours after going on sale on Saturday, despite the sporadic system problems
Big Concerts’ Justin van Wyk said: “We broke records. We sold 150,000 tickets in the first day. We sold 30,000 tickets in the first hour, which is unprecedented.”
I received a response to my email to Computicket regarding the possibility of a second Cape Town show:
"Unfortunately U2 will not be able to perform a second show in Cape Town or Johannesburg for their 360 Tour as there is not enough demand. Tickets are still available for their shows in Johannesburg on the initial dates from computicket. Although unfortunately Cape Town is already sold out."
You can take the response for whatever it is worth.....the fact that Cape Town is sold out suggests to me that there is enough demand for a second show....maybe someone needs to buy up the remaining Johannesburg tickets ASAP and then some shows will be added
Most of the time, whenever U2 travels to these exotic locations, some sort of obscure musical act ends up opening for them.
if you're going to call australia and new zealand exotic, we've had kanye west and jay z lately. if that's obscure i'm not here.
