I roughly figured out the pricing in another thread for 50-60,000 seat stadia.
$250 -7-10,000
$90 - 25-30,000
$55 - 5,000
$30 - 10,000
The trick is they are utilizing the seats behind the stage to juice up overall box office.

In London? They won't have any problem selling those. Should be an awesome show.
I think they should get the team that filmed U23D to do their DVDs from now on, especially the sound mixing!

As much as I'd love a New York DVD, I doubt it'll happen this tour. Since they're only supposedly playing football stadiums, that'll put U2 in New Jersey at Giants Stadium. It won't have the same effect as a DVD at Madison Square Garden (which I want someday.)
My vote is for Wembley Stadium.

U2 official DVDs tend to be mixed pretty well in general, but U23D's mix is over-the-top awesome. Thank God it's better than the recordings of the Sao Paulo proshot broadcast that exist... that bootleg is absolutely miserable to listen to. There are some really good quasi-soundboard-type mixes out there, though, like ZooTV Dublin and the Vertigo London radio broadcast.

The show goes ahead anyway, the crowd get wet, the band get wet, hopefully nobody gets electrocuted. Logistically and financially, cancellation would only be a last resort if the weather / wind was so bad that there would be genuine health and safety concerns.
U2 360 dvd
They usually film material for the official DVD at 1 venue in Europe and 1 venue in North America.
I wonder which they'll record this year.
My guess is they'll do it at a city with at least 2 shows:
Europe:
- Barcelona (it's the start of the tour, so not likely)
- Milan (already Vertigo)
- Paris (already JT, but not a stadium)
- Amsterdam
- Dublin (already Slane, but it's not a stadium. Still, Croke Park can't offer true 360 feeling)
- Gothenburg
- Zagreb (the smallest stadium, I think)
- London (the most logical, and Wembley is a legendary venue)
North America:
- Chicago (already Vertigo)
- Toronto
- Boston (already Elevation)
- New York (they also live here, love the place, wrote a song about it and it's the last venue with 2 gigs... for now)
Anyway, I hope I'll be there with Hamish...

With HAMISH? Why on earth would you want him to direct it?

apis, you are obviously new, Hamish does not have many fans here on Interference...
I'm not his fan, U2 are.
I just said that if he's there to direct, I'd like to be there, too.

fair enough, I would like to see them bring someone new in if you ask me, Hamish tends to go a little overboard with the close-ups and quick cuts. Considering the size of this show, wide and long shots might suit it better...
Galeongirl
Galeonbroad
Agreed.
I quite liked how U23D was shot, I'd like to see Catherine Owens give this tour dvd a shot.

I think they need a film maker this time around versus someone who is more in the TV vein...I don't even mind Hamish all that much compared with how others around here feel, I just think that given the mood of this new album it's time to try someone new.
Anton Corbijn would be the obvious choice given his work on Linear, does he have any concert filming experience?

Good idea. Linear was shot pretty good, and Corbijn's music videos have always been great!adypole

I like hamish's work. it works superbly for fast, raw songs like electric co and vertigo, not to mention big rock songs like the fly (ala chicago)

I agree. Its about time they embrace the new technology and release concert footage on blu-ray, with superior video and sound! That would be awesome!!

As Mucgh as I liked to hacve the DVD shot in Amsterdam (with corbijn ofcourse 
The Dutchman) But that wont do good to the sound quality... So yeah, maybe just in Camp nou for the sake of it. It will be huge.

I can't see them doing the first few shows, the first couple of shows always tend to be lesser in quality when compared with later in the tour when they work out all the details...

Not necessarily. That the sound is bad in the stadium doesn't mean it is bad when recorded, the recording goes trough the amps and cables, not trough the air.

Corbijn directing would be amazing, but it'd be strange to see material from him in color. I just hope whoever filmed (and especially whoever edited) the live in Boston "Magnificent" video isn't invited back.

Corbijns Devotional dvd is the best shot concert I've ever seen.

They need to get the team behind the audio on U2 3D for this,
