Probably next week, or maybe wait until after Christmas, we'll see added dates in
- LA 2 shows to make 6 (I don't know if they'll get to 8 dates)
- They might throw in another city to take up the proposed dates of LA7 and LA8.
- Chicago 2 more shows to make 6, (either on June 20-21 or July 2-3)
- Toronto (It's gonna happen, they just might have to knock the $300 upper level seats down to 110)
- NYC 2 more shows to make 8 (probably on July 30-31)
- 2 extra shows in Barcelona
- 2 extra shows in Cologne
- 2 extra shows in London
- the Dublin dates
WHY are they only doing 2 shows in Italy? Isn't Italy their biggest fan base per capita outside of Ireland? They could add 2 shows to Turin on August 31 and Sept 1.

Ticketmaster experts, what do recommend? I was shut out yesterday, and I'm wondering if it was because I was looking for 4 "cheap seats" to the Boston 7/11 show. Is it crazy to try to buy 4 tix at a time? Trying to accommodate my family of 4, but maybe I should try for 2 and 2 somehow. I didn't re-up my membership for a code because I was looking for 4 tickets, but now I'm wondering if pre-sale is the only way to guarantee getting into the Boston shows. Thanks.
if possible, I would go to physical outlet if you need 4 together.

like i said in another thread, funny, people go to resale sites (because of stuff like this press release) these days before actually checking to see if tickets are sold out. i mean, who buys a ticket for Phoenix on ticketexchange/stubhub when the seat next to it is available at face value at the same time.

U2 taking over NYC for over a week? Possible for the rest of the band, but I don't know for Bono. The way things are going, by night 6, he might have to be zipping around the stage in a motorized wheelchair. And it goes without saying that as this will be taking place during cycling weather, he should have an honor vanguard of fans accompanying him wherever he goes, to ensure he avoids injury. And of course we will all be making sure he avoids bicycles and even Central Park, bringing reverse voodoo dolls or something.
But seriously...even more dates...it might sound crazy, but never underestimate LN greed.
Speaking of LN/TM greed...imagine the touts this morning. Suddenly those hot closing night $300+'ers are just meh seats in a show in the middle of the bunch. Be interesting to watch what happens the next few days..where are those "bragging rights" now?

Cheap seats are definitely the toughest. I have a VIP account with the Garden from previous Bruins group ticket packages, so I can probably pull 4 together from the Sportsdeck, but they're like $160 a pop. Rough.

I'm not sure if we can compare Boston to LA, but yesterday (day 1 public sale) I searched for 4 seats together at the $100 level, and they were popping up within minutes. I even returned 1 set and another (hopefully better! lol) set came up just seconds later.

LA is a far easier ticket market. I'm guessing it's mostly because we don't have jack shit to do here in comparison. Right now, it's 45 degrees and pouring rain. We have no choice but to sit inside, bitch about our sports teams, and scour ticket websites - while you're busy doing fucking slackline yoga at Venice Beach with the beautiful people.
Dammit.
I posted this only fifteen or so posts above yours:
On Vertigo's third leg they did five at MSG in October 2005 and two more in December for a total of seven. Variation wasn't bad, but not quite as off the hook on night five as some of us necessarily hoped.
The record for most shows in a single city on a single leg of a tour is eight in Sydney on Lovetown, or for consecutive shows it's seven in Melbourne on Lovetown.
This absolutely baffles me. I've said many times they could spend a whole month playing Italy if they wanted to - in stadiums. There were rumours they were going to do shows in Milan in October, rumours that persisted almost up to the announcement of the tour, so I wonder what happened to that, if negotiations fell through at a late stage.
With the first two barca dates going onsale today,if/when they announce anymore,that could be the time when they announce 2 more in london and koln. There the only possible extra europearn dates left (bar dublin)
This will probaly happen next tuesday,then they will go down the presale route
Fingers crossed anyway.

The two more were in November, just before Thanksgiving.
Biggest variation for the second two was the addition of Patti Smith as the opener and guest for Instant Karma. I believe she spit on the stage and yelled at Larry the second night.

For anyone in Minnesota, Star Tribune says 'big' concert announcment on Thursday. They seem to think it will be U2.
U2? Stones? Guessing Target Center's "major concert" announcement | Artcetera | StarTribune.com

Maybe the rest of the dates will be added next year now. Just thinking if they add the extra dates next tuesday after the monday general sale and go down the pre sale route,they would go on general sale the following monday which is the 22nd of december, thats xmas week.
Being xmas week that may put them off

She did. I was in the ellipse right up front. We were cheated out of 40 because of it. To this day I can't stand her.

The plot thickens….
Maybe they thought they could do more business in LA. I can see them adding 2 more shows in LA to make 6 (probably June 3-4), but I really doubt they will add #7 and 8 (June 7-8). So those 2 dates will either have to be played elsewhere, or U2 will have to forfeit the money they could potentially earn on those 2 dates. Minneapolis would be interesting, since that is a solid SECOND TIER MARKET for U2. Charging $300 for upper levels seats would be a dumb decision here (or anywhere).
This kind of reminds me of the Rolling Stones 2013 US tour. Extremely high prices made arenas slow to sell, and in some cases, some of their additional shows were never added. 3rd nights in cities like Toronto and Philadelphia were scrapped when the sales for the first 2 weren't exactly stellar, and 1 night stands in Montreal and Washington D.C. were added so that they could at least play SOMEWHERE on those dates.

I think it will be AC/DC. 2015 doesn't make sense for U2 in the Twin Cities with the shows they've already scheduled, although I wish it did.

I do not see why Denver, St. Louis, Atlanta, Wash D.C. or Philly would not be in Play.
