2011 Tour Rumours/Discussion Part 2

[MoodyJ]

And old codes that worked initially, and then the order was canceled later.

Or so I hear.

They really need to get their act together. Talk about a shoddy run business.

 

[Galeongirl]

I got an extra code too. The question is, will it work.

I have... heard of people say that the extra code that miraculously appeared on some people's accounts around this time last year worked, and they got into the shows just fine.

I used my code to get 2 x Meadowlands tickets for this years shows and then had to get a refund from TM as I can't make (afford) another trip to NY next year. How do you think U2.com will handle my request to have my code re-instated? a) no way Jose b) way c) no reply or d) should i not bother as they may realise the code i used for Barca last year is still active?

E). They can't interpret your request because it contains too many syllables for them to understand at any given time.

Two months later, you will receive Artificial Horizon in your mailbox.

Sorry for the thread repost but I would be more than happy to take an extra code (if you aren't planning on using the extra) off your hands...
Please email me at darryl.livingstone (at) yahoo (dot) ca and yes, there will be cookies directed at you, my wife is a GREAT baker!

Wrong
The question is... will it blend?

do you reckon Paul McCartney would have had the most depressing day ever when he turned 64?

I hope so, that song is terrible.

I got an extra code last year and used it. My orders were never canceled.

Ticketmaster is not going to cancel an order once they have their money. I used the same code for a couple different shows with no problems over the last 2 years

 

[U2FanPeter]

Winnipeg use temp stands when on the endzone when they get the grey cup(canada's super bowl) and other events like the Pan Am games. I saw the Guess Who there in 1999.

BTW, wasn't Vegas the smallest venue on the 2009 tour? I think Horsens will be the smallest on the entire tour.

If you have your Ticketmaster order number so they can verify, they will issue a new code.

Yet.

HAHAHAHAHA *cough*

Pretty much that.

They did. I could dig through my pdfs to find it, but they did--Mpls. GAs.

(which didn't matter because they did that GA drop last Dec./Jan.)

that sucks. Ive only had experience with TM cancelling an order for going over the posted limit, and that's even rare.

It's my fault for being the go-to U2 fan for friends and family. Everyone came out of the woodwork asking about tickets. They were mailing out those tickets really fast, too, so I had my hopes up they I would get my hands on them before TM pulled its head out of its ass.

Don't forget about the little venue they played in Nice!

Nice had very few seats but 45000 standing though, so felt pretty huge still

 

[marik]

With South Africa confirmed for Feb 13,18, doesnt it make more sense for U2 to continue the Southern-hemi tour and move over to do South America with, for instance, Chile dates being FEB 25,26 instead of rumored March 25,26 (more than a month later)??

Just seems like it makes more sense. Makes me wonder where the rumored South American dates we have ever came from?

I've long since lost track of all the attendance records - 45,000 should still make it one of the five smallest shows of tour thus far, right? They did a good job packing that many people in standing; as far as seating goes it's got to be easily the smallest of the whole tour.

The staging's got to be shipped over to South America, so probably forget about any of the shows there being in February. The original plan (i.e. pre-postponement) this year to get from North America to Europe allowed basically three weeks; at the very least a similar timeframe will be needed for this.

Shows in mid/late March make logistical sense.

Don't talk about me like that!

 

[ramblin rose]

Yeah, Nice had even more than Sheffield, 55,641. Looks like of the attendance figures posted so far Vegas was the smallest, 42,213.

Makes me wonder, performance wise, how those two(more?) South African will fit in with their 2011 rehearsal schedule.

Isn't it weird that SA/Turkey/Russia got shows and there's barely a peep about anything in Asia/Japan? They should be good for at least another $25mil depending if they venture outside Tokyo.

 

[kramwest1]

Ha!

Didn't mean to call you an "it" either.

Anyone think if a barrage of new material does get released in the next year that the continuing into 2012 rumors will come true?

 

[God Part III]

35.000 in Horsens, at least that's what Danish newspapers were saying.

From some people who have contacts within T4F, which is the company that is organizing the shows in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

While I could see them adding an early 2012 Asia/Japan leg, anything beyond that is doubtful. I would be shocked if Larry agrees to a fourth consecutive year of touring.
