That's a turd I laid on 10/16/95.
MrBrau1 said:I imagine they're not happy. But it's not as if Bono can wave his hand and fix the glitches. And I doubt they're sitting at a table looking over piles of cash, giggling and wringing their hands saying "Ha! we pulled a nice fast one on the people who buy ALL OUR RECORDS". They must realise this could destroy the bands core fanbase and credibility forever. What they do in the next few day will tell the rest of the story.

You bloody yanks get everything! First you get two friggin legs of a U2 tour and now you have 16 months in a year! Bastards!

Blue Room said:The problem is that U2's fan club DID handle the ticket sale pretty well PRIOR to this tour. So it can be done, they should have just stuck to the old Propaganda formula and done everything (including subscription sign up) through the mail. You get less of the casual fan and scalper that way, takes more effort.
Who is to blame? Everyone involved including U2. U2 hired these people to run their fan club. Ultimately the buck stops with U2 and their management. However, there is no way U2 intentionally did any of this. But they are ultimately responsible.

i remember hearing after Boston 2 in 2001 some lady carping on and on to Bono about the how the fans were dealt with unjustly and they were robbed and 'yadie yadie'
and Bono becoming agitated, spun around on his heels and told the carping woman to pipe dowm, put a sock in it and told her "compared to other bands U2 gives alot more back to their fans".
the lady was stunned into silence
Go Bono

Axver said:When all the chaos began ensuing, I thought "this is going to give people like jick, ponkine, U2_Guy, and rjhbonovox even more ammunition." This thread has proven me right.

Wow, what a horrible story. Is that true?
diamond said:
yes absolutely.
my friend saw it first hand.
Bono was trying to console 2 girls..who were perplexed about the whole GA fiasco and this lady was incessantly jabbering and interupting, when Bono told the lady to basically F/O.
Its a true story.
And you know what?
He was right.
All people have limits even Jeuslike rockstars.

You know what your "friend" may say they were there but they clearly weren't within earshot. I was there and that is not what happened at all. Bono "trying to console" the two girls, ahahaha! Don't make me laugh. Those girls were upset by Bono and U2's actions at Boston 2 and he was making it quite plain that he gave not two sh*ts about their feelings. Too upset to argue back others were trying to make a case on their behalf.
The people who were at Boston 2 haven't been surprised by this pre-sale fiasco at all. They saw through the the U2 corporate machine a long time ago....
