The "sold out" means nothing, every show for Vertigo (I'm talking about stadiums) is sold out, the U2.com will tell you that, all newspapers the day after the show will tell you that...
BUT the shows are NOT sold out in reality, there are empty seats here and there... you can buy tickets just hours before the start of the show (oficial tickets not from scalpers).
Yes, the band learned their lesson from PopMart: they are no longer honest with the press. That's the only diference between PopMart and Vertigo.
...And, jick (aka starvinmarvin) my friend, if you want to call the best grossing tour of 1997, one of the top 5 (probably lower now) grossing tours of all time, the tour that beat the huge come back tours of RollingStones and Michael Jackson, tour that had quite a few records for the largest audience on rock show ever... a flop and "having attendance problems"...
And If you want to tell us that because on some shows there still was a place for another few tousand people (while 50,000 already was there), and because of that the band did not make money from the tour...
Than I'm going to call you blind, ignorant and simply stupid (and you can report it as a personal attack), there's no better word for what you're doing on this crusade of yours to make everything POP the worst in U2's history, than this.
There was only one mistake made on PopMart: not enough rehearsals wich was not important after a few shows anyway... (oh yes, lets not forget that the Lemon did not work right on ONE show, out of 95 shows)
