August 9 & 10 - Stadium Maksimir - Zagreb, Croatia

[djerdap]

Well, my fellow Interferencers, I'm absolutely delighted to see that U2 has finally, after years of false rumours or negotiations, included my hometown into their tour. One can expect amazing atmosphere and audience, typical for our country, even if the stadium is pretty crappy.

Roll on August the 10th!

 

[last unicorn]

Yep, I'll try to be there

 

[Marko]

Finaly!!!!!!!!

 

[The Sad Punk]

This, as well as the return to Poland, are easily the best decisions made in regards to the dates we know about. Hopefully they'll play some shows east of Croatia over the next year or two, as well.

See you guys there, I just booked a room at the Astoria downtown for two nights...
Zagreb is expensive! Can't wait to be there

 

[dougal55]

I will be there too ... as my best friend lives there so will be visiting from London and I cant wait to see U2 again...

Yep roll on 10th August indeed!

I may have the option of seeing them here in London too though through a public sale as I cant use my subscriber pre-sale code twice you see which sucks big time but theres still hope for next year!

Zagreb isn't expensive. You should come to Vienna, that's expensive.

We always go on holidays to Croatia, it's so beautiful.

Zagreb isn't expensive.

I guess not...

I booked that Zagreb hotel right after booking the Chorzow hotel, which was half the price,
screwed up my sense of cost!

I'm hoping they add a date in Vienna, Prague or Munich on August 8th

I got this information on Tuesday, but wasn't allowed to pass it forward. It wasn't easy keeping it a secret

I'm afraid not

 

[U2girl]

This looks promising.

Hopefully Austrian date will follow soon.

 

[Numbology]

Good call, U2. See you there.

 

[anitram]

I really wish I could go to this show, but there is no chance in hell I can make it as I start my new job on that day. Pity!!

There won't be a concert in Vienna this year.

u2girl, how do you get tickets for Zagreb? Or do you use your u2com presale code for that show?

 

[Marko]

I hope that I'll be able to buy tickets for this gig in usual stores in Zagreb.
I intend to use my presale code for Barcelona,a nd than I'll go to Zagreb gig with at least 30 of my friends

 

[U2girl]

What about other major Austrian cities, last unicorn ?

I don't have a presale code. If - depending on time and especially prices - I'll go, it'll probably be Zagreb or Milan, using a concert agency and going with a bus.

Goran Ivanesevic is supporting in Zagreb
and Slaven Bilic

[MadForIt]

You may need a visa to enter Croatia. As a British national you do not require a visa for tourist and business trips of less than three months. However, a visa may be required for other types of visit or stay.

 

[roy keane]

E pa vidimo se tamo.

 

[U2lunatic]

Yep, I'll try to be there

I'd love to go to Zagreb as well, but in Slovakia tickets for this show won't be sold. Could you get tickets for this gig in Vienna? I can buy tickets to Chorzow, so we could do the exchange.

 

[U2lunatic]

That's what they said on the news here

Anyway, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but it seems that history is repeating itself - the mayor of Zagreb and the director (or whatever) of the football club claim that nobody had asked them for permission for the concert, and that even though football games are never held on Mondays, it might be a problem since the stage takes 4 days to be set and pulled apart. The organization that is arranging the whole thing is having a press conference in about a week. We shall see.

oh good lord.

 

[MadForIt]

that is so stupid
its the biggest stadium they have

I know. I'm so scared right now, it could be so special. Zagreb is only a few miles away, I go to college there every day, it would be so wonderful to see U2 play in our ciaptal

If you are talking about Mamic there might be problems.
