Although I don't think the Groom & Wedding Planner both announcing we would have our invitations by Tuesday, and then failing to send them helped. Maybe we're not invited.
Australia & U2. Always the bridesmaid... never the bride...

Hands up anyone here who is married? How long did that take you to organise? What if you had to postpone it? Did you have At least 6 heavily booked venues to schedule? 500,000 odd guests? Millions and millions of dollars of corporate agreements? A staff of over 200 helping you on the big day? Maybe 3 dozen support companies that need to be sorted to the new dates and arrangements as well? Complicated global logistics to organise? It took months and months to plan perfectly the original dates, they have as of today only had a week to organise the new dates. I don't know why people are sweating so much over not having locked in dates publicly known yet.

.... and the wedding singer notoriously will say anything to get a leg over the bridesmaid.

Shall we start talking frocks? Shag?
ruffian said:Earnie has a great point. It isn't just a matter of rebooking venues. They also have to make sure they have crew members available to support the tour, and many may already have commitments with other bands during the fall...lots to negotiate. I'm as anxious as everyone else--and sadly, it's going to be really hard for me to NZ or Hawaii in November
Lila64 said:I was wondering though... I'm assuming merchandise had already been produced for the postponed shows. Many times bands include tour dates on the backs of shirts, or special posters / programs etc. for different parts of the world (Vertigo Europe, NY/Madison Square Garden,...). So what has happened to the merchandise that was probably already produced for the 4th leg? Or perhaps it was still early enough where they could cancel print orders. Just wondering if you can re-print on shirts once they've already been printed on... That's a lot of merchandise to be sitting on... Especially when the band makes so much money on merchandising...

Stink bro!
Feeling for my Whanau back home today. I wonder if Auckland will fall before or after Australia on the "return leg" in "November"? I might try and pick up a sneaky ticket to Auckland on Trademe and come over for it... bit more time to plan for this now - and whilst Sydney and Melbourne will be wicked, Auckland I think will be special.... its been 13 years. 13! Goodness, that does nothing but highlight how quick life flies by. The boys were only spring chickens then.... and I was 13 and thankfully had others take pity on me by hoisting me on their shoulders.
I wonder if at 25 (or 26 given my b'day is Nov 2!) if anyone will turn and ask if I want to go on their shoulders this time around? hahaha. Still, I am only as tall at the b'man so I seriously need all the help I can get!

We need a "Who's getting smashed in the pub instead of being at a U2 show" thread....

I was thinking the exact same thing this evening. That's a lot of t-shirts and posters to have to sit on, although, I guess not all the t-shirts have the dates on the back.
