sorry.
only thing is though every where I travel be it Europe, Canada, wherever...the person always getting the last hostel bed or the last seat on the bus...is Australian. I personally know many that where in the heart for most of the NA shows....fair play is fair play.
Thats okay. I was only half joking. The last time U2 played Australia was PopMart so I imagine you may have seen a few frustrated Australians flying out to see Elevation, because U2 didn't bring that show to Australia.
I guess my whinge was more for people like me. Yes, there are some fans with high disposable incomes that can fly around the world and see U2 multiple times.
Then there are many fans who can financially afford to see the band in their own home city or not at all.
This is my whinge, I will only say it once to protect you all from boredom.
U2 will probably not play Perth. If I am to see U2 I will need to spend about $600+ on a airticket to Sydney. The Kiwis will also probably go to Sydney as its the closest city to them. I have relatives in Sydney so I may be able to find some free accomodation.
My concern is that many of the "flying fans" from the USA and Europe will also choose Sydney. And theres only four shows (apparently). Thats a lot of competition for someone like me.
I would love to see U2 in Berlin or Ireland or anywhere really but the airfares are expensive. My only shot, and it is still expensive, is Sydney.
I can't stop people going to Sydney any more than the people of Denver can stop the "flying fand" from purchasing many of their local tickets.

Good luck to anyone that scores a ticket to an Australian show. I just hope myself (and Tania, Palace_Hero, etc) are included in that number.
peace
