kobayashi said:question...if shows are added this weekend for say, toronto, they will go on sale immediately right? there is no chance another pre-sale would be held next week?
Shono said:Toronto has to be getting more shows. They open on a Monday, then take Tuesday off, play Wednesday and don't play another show until a week later in Chicago.
Some one said that Toronto is getting at least 4 shows.
Look at Chicago. They get 2 stops on the first leg, 2 stops on the thrid leg with room for more shows to be added. MSG get like 8 shows.
Has anyone heard any more about additional Toronto shows?
James U2 said:i live in texas (dallas) and am fully NOT surprised that houston did not get a second show. for one, it is a weak market (odd considering there are 4 million people) and two, U2 aren't going to add a 2nd show before the 1st one (which is what they would have to do considering that dallas is the next night). the logistics of doing that just wouldn't make sense.
but i am quite surprised that dallas did not get a second show.
oh well.

I disagree that Houston is a weak concert market - quite the contrary actually. Obviously, U2 left no room in the schedule for a second Houston show, though they did leave room for a possible extra Dallas show. My experience is that Texans spend a lot of $$$$ for live performances.
Right now there are 3 e-bay auctions for GA tickets for the Houston show at ~$425/each and there's an auction for so-so seats in the high price range going for $660. Hardly signs of a weak market.

Except Popmart in 1997! It wasnt even close.
Blue Room said:Maybe the term "weak" isnt appropriate regarding Houston. I think the point is that as a U2 market, Houston is not their strongest area historically speaking. Sure, they have soldout shows there, but they have everywhere else that is getting a single date on this tour and alot of other tours in the past. If U2 thought the demand and market were there they would play multiple dates and would have previously. The last time U2 has played back to back dates in Houston was 1987. Dallas has historically been a bigger market for them in Texas. So given the option between Houston and Dallas for a 2nd show, Dallas would win out. Its not a cut on Houston, some of you seem to be taking it personally.
I'am suprised Detroit is getting a 2nd show honestly. What I have heard though its mainly due to cost and logistics, it made sense for them to schedule another one there. Houston didnt work out that way for this tour at least and hasnt in the past for some reason. Its that simple, I wouldnt take it as a slight on Houston.
