2011 Tour Rumours/Discussion

[Alisaura]

Seems to make more sense to go from NZ to an east-coast city (or vice versa) than to go from/to Perth to/from NZ?

I remember there were rumours of a Perth date some time ago, I hope that ends up still being true and WA gets some action!

 

[bono_man2002]

Speaking of getting some action.....

 

[d.darroch]

So how many CLAW's are we expecting to be sent to our shores? I think I'll have a stab & say 2. So we could have something like Auckland (claw 1), Brisbane (claw 2), Melbourne (claw 1), Sydney (claw 2) & finally Perth or Adelaide (claw 1) - if we're lucky.
What do you think, sound like a plan?....... Now give us some dates!

 

[Tommy WM]

It really doesn't make any sense them missing Adelaide. I hope they remember our show back in 2006 sold out very quickly. They could have easily played a second show.

oh just read that tix sales Fri 3 Sept for 4 shows 4 cities first up

someone also said they saw a concert poster on a building stating this also

 

[dan_smee]

care to share the source of your information?

 

[ChargedVT]

I doubt there would be posters up already when there hasn't even been an announcement yet.
But 4 cities sounds right considering the info we have received so far, and they will definitely only put one night on sale for Sydney and Melbourne at first, as they would be unsure how they would sell.

 

[ChargedVT]

THIS JUST IN!

apparently someone has taken a photo of the aforementioned poster and the dates are as follows:

Melbourne - Dec 1st
Brisbane - Dec 8th
Sydney - Dec 13th
Perth - Dec 18th

but i want to see a photo of this poster!

Hey, I saw the photo on u2.com & it looked pretty genuine. I can't link to it because its been uploaded as a profile picture.

 

[coolian2]

can't find it on u2.com to save myself

Yep, thats the one.


edit: actually, thats a different picture...but the other one is a photo of that poster..

 

[ramblin rose]

Can anyone make out what the fine print below Sydney and Brisbane is?

 

[coolian2]

brisbane fine print:
suncorp stadium is a non-smoking venue

sydney:
all concert tickets include major event rail and bus services

perth:
public transport included in ticket price



that's the gist of it. that adds a bit of cred, but it's a funny thing to put on a concert poster.

sorry had to run off for dinner but yes that's where I saw the info too, via U2 Zootopia

looking good cept that Dec 18 is way too close to Dec 19 MUSE grrr!

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow, you have good eyesight. It was one blurry line to me.

So I guess the NZ date(s) be in November.

[quadcaster]

you're right there , some of those prices are crazy!

I doubt it unfortunately. I had made plans with my family to travel during Christmas and won't be able to take more vacation time in December. I was counting on early 2011 for these shows. If Auckland is in November I might be able to make that, but that's questionable also. Damn, I'd love to go back to Auckland, those 2006 shows were so great.

Yes they were!

 

[Alisaura]

Any chance that poster is photoshopped?

 

[kramwest1]

Is it a little odd that most of the dates (and therefore potential add-on dates) are weekdays?

I don't know what would make sense scheduling-wise, but it seems to me that if you are only doing 4 cities on a continent, why not make them hit weekends?

I was thinking much the same. Maybe the info on that alleged poster is accurate and maybe it's not, but it would be so easy for someone to fake it.
