So, almost twice as much shows in North America than in Europe (and maybe I'm wrong, but no shows in South America and Africa?).
General admission for floor tickets $49,50?! That's about €35 or something like that. So why is the general admission in The Netherlands about €65 (= about $70?)?

Well, I really hope so for you. Won't be there or anywhere to visit a show. I've had it with these prices so after 25 years following U2 so for now their last show at Slane Castle is the last I've attended.
Hmmz, mayby I'm just getting to old or something .

No, you're just getting grouchy. And who cares if they play more shows here in the states than the EU? It's been that way for years.
