You can still get them on seetickets.com
Maybe this bodes well for the 3rd leg. Most people will already have tickets that want them. Might not be so much hassle second time round.

I've just been on ticketbastards site and there still looks like there's tickets left.£190 for 2 seats,fuck,thats a bit steep
To be honest M8 thats outrageous.boystupidboy said:.£190 for 2 seats,fuck,thats a bit steep
Why are the prices in the UK so high ?
Its greed in my opinion.
50 pounds for a ticket is a fair price ,maybe 60 ,anymore and it isnt worth it.
I paid 45 pounds for Elevation in Manchester .
Now its 95 and the capacity is 2.5 times what it was indoors.
That doesnt make sense.

REM's summer tour gigs are £35 but U2's are £50. Why is that? I know U2 are a better band but why the price difference when they are both playing stadiums is beyond me. Anyone want to explain?

Supply and demand. REM are fading away, their latest material hasn't exactly gone down as classic. U2 are the hot ticket and still riding high.

U2 - bigger show - more expensive to stage plus - as they've proved - they can sell out any stadium and even if the tickets were £100 each I'm sure they'd still have sold out.
REM - less demand - if they charged £50 they wouldn't sell enough tickets - even at £35 they haven't sold any of their stadium gigs out yet.

You've all missed the point of why there are tickets still available.
The plain and simple reason is that in the UK you can only have 4 TICKETS FOR 1 CONCERT PER HOUSEHOLD. We have had to use 9 SEPERATE family and friends credit cards so that we could go to all the UK shows. A lot of peopel dont have access to loads of different credt cards we 've been lucky.
But I would like an explanationas to why our tickets are the most expensive of the tour, maybe we are subsidising the cheap american tickets!!

Maybe they're the most expensive because...gee I don't know, it's........in a stadium!
Try booking a little civic centre versus a punting stadium and compare the cost.

Whoo hoo!!
All 8 of them big deal not many shows is it in the grand scheme of things??
Some towns/cities are nearly getting as many shows as the full UK leg or at least they will be when the 3rd leg is announced!

Where does it say that? It says on Ticketmaster and U2.com that you can only buy tickets for 1 show using the one access code. I read nothing about credit card or household.
Also, can tickets be cancelleda after they've been recieved?
Do you get told if they've bn cancelled?
Has anyone experienced this problem?

Consider yourself lucky as they're only playing 2 dates in their own home country.....
