Hello Angel...
Of course, everything is rumor at this point.
The March 28 Albany show was one of those "unconfirmed rumored" shows anyway. But people were believing it because the old rumored schedule almost exactly conformed to the ZooTV schedule (in fact, March 28 is just a week or so ahead of where the band played Albany in 1992...that show was either March 18 or 22, forgot which. And in 92 the band played NYC, then Hartford, then Albany. Similar to the rumors.)
All I know is: yesterday, on my local Albany station, I heard a plug for U2 tix giveaway 3 times by the late afternoon..once by pre-recorded message, twice by a live DJ. The tickets were for a "secret location". No date or place given.
Today I called WFLY 92 and they said they couldn't give out any more info.I asked, "Is this for someplace on the East Coast?" And we went,.."welll"...And he said he couldn't say anything more about that. Hey, I tried. He said they were being very tight-lipped until the actual announcement, and he wasn't allowed to give out any info to people.
So I theorized that:
1) The March 28 date at the Pepsi Arena was real, was never dropped, and is still on, only no DJ is allowed to give out any more info until the tour is officially announced;
2) The March 28 date was "put on hold" while the band decided whether or not to tour, Clear Channel left it open just in case the band decided yes;
3)The "secret location" is in LasVegas or LA, in late March or early April--but the problem with this is,
--a)last time nobody in Albany gave away tickets to other U2 "opening nights"; plus, if we have our own show coming down the pipline, why give away tickets for somewhere else?
b)If the Albany show has been rescheduled to October or November, why give away tickets now?
Of course, everything is rumor at this point.
