Well I see where a lot of Red Zones for Cleveland went today - there are 18 on Vivid going for over $2K a piece - all from two individual sellers...

Just curious, how are they doing this? In Philly, RZ's are will-call only with ID and the credit card you purchased it. So that means going inside to an actual will-call window where they will, i'm almost 100% certain, insist upon ID.
I see how stubhub and ticket agencies are using gift cards to purchase floor seats and giving the gift card to the buyer with the logic that they will most likely not ask for ID for every single GA person......but RZ seems to be a whole other thing entirely.
I'm also not seeing a single RZ ticket available in Philly or Dublin on Stubhub....i'm guessing probably due to those restrictions.
I'm certainly no ticket expert, so i'm legitimately curious how they are offering up RZ tix for sale.
Edit: Looking at Vivid, I see they do list RZ as being available at around 2k a pop, but the seller notes are not that confidence inspiring: "THE SELLER IS COMMITTING TO PROCURE THESE TICKETS FOR YOU UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR ORDER." That to me sounds like they don't have them, but want you to buy first and then they "promise to get them for you", lol. The other ones's state "paperless tickets" but with no mention of credit card. I don't know, i'd be really wary of that, even if I did have that kind of wealth to drop $2k a ticket

Yes, it is very tricky to figure out. Red Zone can be picked up any time the day of the event at Will Call, so I'd imagine you would meet the person at the event at a pre-arranged time, go to Will Call with them then have them hand the ticket to you. Regardless, I can't drop $2K plus for this either.
But most seats are gone in Cleveland, Washington, Miami, and Dallas. Tampa, Houston and Pittsburgh will eventually sellout. There is very little left in Washington and I wonder if it might get an extra show. They did two stadium shows in Philadelphia and 2 in Washington D.C. back on the ZOO TV Tour. They might try for extra shows in some of these places given how fast they have soldout or almost soldout.

Funny to see the difference between shows in terms of speed of selling tickets. I am always surprised why U2 often chooses to overplay the US and underplay Europe so much.

To be honest, I'm surprised they did Miami AND Tampa, Dallas AND Houston, Cleveland AND Pittsburgh, so close together geographically. Meanwhile large portions of the country aren't getting any shows. I looked at all the maps (no life? maybe...) and while I believe Houston will sell out, Pittsburgh and Tampa look doubtful.
I can only hope that the reason cities like Atlanta, Minneapolis, Detroit, etc were left out are because they are planning on visiting those cities for the I&E Tour.

I don't recall Boston getting a show as part of the second leg of NA 360 tour, which may be the closest analogy to this situation.

Especially after they totally skipped the South for i+e. Considering Tampa notoriously had the worst attended PopMart show and U2 isn't exactly at their peak of popularity right now, I was pleasantly surprised they scheduled one for Tampa (hometown, even though I'm in DC now it makes me feel important). They set the occupancy record for RJ Stadium on 360 (and that was 8 years ago), so while I don't think this show will sell as much it should "sell out."
EDIT: Re-read your post, and the absence of Atlanta is pretty startling considering the two FL shows. Who knows how these things happened; I was surprised they didn't roll through DC in 2015.
Shouldn't be an issue. Individual show pages on TM show the presale date and time for each level.

Cleveland has the Rock 'n' roll hall of fame, it's not that surprising. Seems like they go to Cleveland with every other tour.
I believe the presale is January 23rd

Yep I was wrong - Monday general sale.

He might have been implying since Pittsburgh was also booked, Cleveland was kinda of redundant (only 2 hrs apart).
I was just implying that they usually book a show in Cleveland every other tour. I don't know their history with Pittsburgh. I do know that most of the Clevelanders I know would rather drive 5 hours to Chicago than go 2 hours to Pittsburgh (unless they are a Steelers fan). I would go anywhere close.

If Pittsburgh were on a Saturday and Cleveland on a Wednesday, the situation would be reversed. One thing about Americans is that they don't like to do anything on a weeknight if they have work the next day.

Plus it's the last US date. I live very close to Pittsburgh and wanted to go to both (GA in Pittsburgh and seats in Cleveland), but I wasn't on TM quick enough today to get Cleveland seats.

I can't seem to catch a break with these guys this year! I'll be back in England in August, missing London/Dublin by a few weeks...now they're fucking coming here?!
looks like I'm going to have to work my arse off and book a trip to one or the other, really can't miss this tour.I meant playing a large football stadium in Cleveland. They have not played a stadium sized venue in Cleveland since 1987.
True, but they did not sellout nearly all the seats on the first day for 360. Every normal seat for this Joshua Tree show in D.C. is gone, only singles left. Then of course there tickets being resold, but they already count as tickets sold from the bands perspective.
I would say the only reason they won't add a second D.C. show is because they will probably add a second show in Toronto, which makes it not possible to fit it in to the schedule since they always have one day off between different cities.
I'd say Pittsburgh, Tampa, and Houston will all sellout by the time the shows roll around in 5 months. Often the rule of thumb is that you can sell 50% more tickets after the first on day of sales. So, for example, if you sold 40,000 on the first day, you should be able to make it to 60,000 by the day of the show.
Pittsburgh, Tampa, and Houston are the only shows where you still have large groups of tickets available in several rows per section. Normal tickets and not resell tickets is what I mean.
Just got me 1 ga for london. Was so tempted to get 2 because i need 2 but ive already got 3 tickets for croke. Wasnt risking it,would rather try my luck in the general sale.
One thing i noticed on the confirmation was it said standing or red zone ticket,whats this mean? Surely the red zone area is sectioned off?
