they are doing book signings only problem ticket only!!

competitions and one coming up on u2.com to win tickets to the various dates, but its on a strict no ticket no admittance scenario.

 

[Thora]

I'm definitely entering!! Thanks for letting us know.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

where'd ya hear about the u2.com contests?

 

[Bono's Tart]

where'd ya hear about the u2.com contests?

from two very good reliable sources!!
and no its not the Edge's cousin before you start!!

known about this for about 5 weeks but am so p**ed off at what i heard today about it being ticket only decided to post it !

 

[Utoo]

so they are doing book signings....

London and New York not too sure about Dublin although they should do one there.

is this and the u2.com competition all from the u2.com message boards? no news of any of this seems to have hit here yet..

 

[U2democrat]

Well shoot I wish I were Canadian!

[Thora]

I've entered! It would be so awesome! Must not get my hopes up too high.

no it wasnt.

 

[ALass4Larry]

So...we just watch this board to see if we can win a ticket to the NYC booksigning? Even if we're NOT Canadian??

 

[Canadiens1131]

Oh great - as usual every province except Quebec. Fuck you, rest of Canada!




Only in the territorial sense, I still want hugs

No this comp is for Canadians only the ticket competition will be on u2.com for London anyway.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

book comes out the 26th, they're in new orleans the 25th could make sense... i'm hoping it's on the 27th in new york 'cause i'm already taking off from work that day, anyways

 

[Bono's Tart]

I think it all fits in, its out next Friday 22nd here , I feel sure the London book signing will be either 21st or 22nd.

 

[JCOSTER]

So in other words, you can only get a ticket for the book signing by winning a contest?

Is that the correct assumption?

 

[Bono's Tart]

According to the publishers yes, not ticket no entry!!

There will be a competition on u2.com within the next few days for London and I would have thought for New York a couple of days before that one. Big problem is that they will be at VERY short notice so if you have distance to travel you could well be stuffed .. bit like me really!! thats why I am so angry about this.

Plus the publishers also said that all the tickets had gone(!!!!) to winners via magazine comp winners as well!!!
What bloody magazines?????

Only thing we can think of is maybe the Sunday papers here in the UK will run one this weekend maybe The Times?

 

[Bono's Tart]

Re book signings, these are a sometime away so nothing has been set in stone .... Yet

Patience is a virtue as they say so please stay tuned and watch the homepage in the near future, you'll be pleasantly surprised.



HURRAH!!!!!!!
A semi update from one of the mods on u2.com about the book signings, I dont want to be surprised I expect to eb bllody well amazed!!!
