Biggest gig on this tour?

[NChilton]

What do you think will be the biggest gig on the vertigo tour. My guess will be the nou camp in barcelona as it holds 98,000 all seated for football. Could be a 90,000 capacity for the gig.

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

Think it is the biggest.
San Siro Milan is the 2nd i think.
80,000 for a football match, or croke!

 

[andyuk]

millenium stadium, wales will hold 72,000 for the u2 gig, Twickenham, London has sold 70,000 for each of the 2 shows. but Nou Camp Barcelona is the biggest at 92,000 tickets sold.

 

[madonna's child]

I don't think I'd want to go to a show with 91,999 other people.

cant delete the post so...

ho hum..

 

[Dr_Macphisto]

Are there any attendance/sales figures available yet?

So would that make San Diego the smallest venue on this tour? Probably. What is the smallest outdoor stadium in europe? I heard the San Sebastian and the Nice, France gigs will be pretty small.

 

[Ifeelnumb84]

How small is San Diego's arena?
And isn't Hartford damn small?....Also, on elevation, I know Providence is a tiny arena....

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

There will probably be a few thousand extra on the pitch for those gigs.

I'd hate to think of the traffic getting out of the parking lot.

[Val]

The biggest gig will be MSG 5/21... not popuation, but heart!

Ok, I'm a New Yorker...we talk like that!

Oslo:25,752 (?)

Valle Hovin isnt really a stadium, theres only a small stand on one of the sides. It isnt used for anything else than concerts in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Its a crap ground for concerts as you stand on concrete, horrible place. I think it holds 35-40.000 people for concerts.

Its gotta be one of the worst venues on this tour, no wonder the Lemon broke down here!

I think the technical term is nosebleed.

 

[xellente]

i cant remember exactly but the SD sports arena holds about , 12800 for hockey, figure a few thousand (if that) on the floor..and i think its the smallest venue on the tour. At least in the US.
I saw them on the elevation tour and THE ARENA ANOUNCED that it was the smallest venue on the tour...
