Well that sucks if that's the case . I'll be at that July 2nd show in Chicago, and I expect to see some curtained off sections in the upper corners, as they transplant those people to other unsold sections of the arena.

Speak for yourself. I for one look forward to Wednesday's announcement that the tour is cancelled so Bono can compete in the Tour de France alongside young Leo.
In all fairness the 5th london show looked very much like the 6th does at this stage( maybe abit more had been sold) then over time the only place you could get seats together were the two small lower blocks. So they were selling pretty well. They have added more seats for sale for the 5th now though.
London is one of those places were theres different people from all over the world there everyday. So you will get alot of tourists going etc etc
With over 6 months until the gig, all they need is time and abit of promotion
That's true. I've no doubt that by showtime all of these gigs will be sold out. It just surprises me how little effort they seem to be making to alert the general public that these shows exist - especially given how much they love to brag about quick sellouts.
I got tired of waiting for Dublin shows to be announced and booked a trip to Vegas instead. Fuck it

I have very tentative plans for a big European trip next year summer with some college choir alumni ... I'm trying to figure out when I'll know if it'll be happening or not. If it's not happening, I could make Dublin happen and still have some $$ for a trip in 2016.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
At this point I'll just hope for a stadium gig next year in the summer. Can't wait around forever.

Yeah. I have the luxury of waiting, because I'm already saving travel funds. Either for Big Europe 2016 Trip, or Dublin this fall and Iceland (?) next year.

Nothing wrong with that, you're sure to have a great time either way! I went to Vegas when I was in my early 20s with a group of friends. It was a lot of fun, but that was 10 years ago. I'm sure it's changed a lot since then. I want to go back now that I actually have some money to spend!

IF the stadium tour is gonna happen (and with the current state of events, I am not quite as convinced anymore as I was), then I'd definitely suggest to wait for that over an arena, if you've never been to Dublin. Croke Park is something else, just.. never been in a stadium that's literally IN a neighbourhood. Ours is near one, but shit, there's houses right next to the entrance of Croke! 
It's pretty damn cool.
I assume the O2 will be nice as well, being on the old Point Dupot location. And it sure as hell is a much shorter walk, but yeah. The atmosphere of Croke was great.

They've supposedly been rehearsing already in France (I believe).

I will not believe that until we get poorly recorded beach clips as proof!

Sorry, but as a veteran of 4 U2 gigs at Croke Park, I have to say that it is a rubbish venue. The acoustics are awful (although improved on 360), it is far too wide in the sense that you are always miles away from the stage even in the closest seats. The atmosphere dissipates much too easily. I imagine the Aviva/Lansdowne would be much better. They only use Croke cause they can get 80-90k people in there at a time, depending on set up, etc.

Never had any problems with any of those things on the field. Great acoustics, right on the rail, brilliant gigs.
If 4 gigs makes you a veteran, how would you call someone whose went to 3?

The Chicago-Indianapolis area is going to be incredibly busy that 4th of July weekend.

Interesting, not a single overlap with the Stones and U2 as far as cities!

The stones played multiple arena shows in all the major us/canada cities last time through. LA, Vegas, SF, Chicago, NYC, DC, Philly, Boston, Montreal and Toronto. Now they're playing the cities they missed that time. Seems like an unusually high concentration in the Midwest, while the entire northwestern part of the country gets nothing.
I'll definitely be at the Columbus show!

The Grateful Dead is also doing a 50th anniversary "final shows ever" weekend then in Chicago too.

As I'll be in California/Arizona/Nevada until the end of May, that tour opener in San Diego is blinking an eye on me.
But it screws my plans in terms of schedule to go to Las Vegas.
Well, they're suposed to come here to Southamerica in November.
If it's expensive, fuck'em.

Nosebleed tickets are $40 for the Ohio Stadium show. That's what I'm going for. The Stones aren't even one of my favorite bands, but I do enjoy them, and since it's an easy drive for me and I have lots of friends in Columbus, I'll buy a cheap ticket and make a good Saturday night out of it!
Now, good seats are over $400!!! No thanks.

I paid $100 for a GA ticket to see The Rolling Stones a year after I paid $45 for a GA ticket to U2.
I felt like I got a deal for the U2 ticket, and that the Stones ticket was priced about right (in 2006). Even though it poured rain and I was hung over all day, still one of the best concerts I've ever been to. And Kanye, Alice Cooper and Sloan opened for them
If they were playing in Toronto I'd go see them again in a heartbeat.

I wonder if they're doing that thing with the cheap tickets they did with the last tour's cheap tickets - some of the cheap tickets had a "surprise" location. You might be in the nosebleeds, or you might be very close.
That's an awesome idea. Had they played in Seattle, I absolutely would have gone (even if I'd ended up in the nosebleeds).

I wish U2 was doing a tour like this in 2015! Alex, Eddie and David are all over 60, so their ahead in the age department over U2.
That's not fair at all. Buy the new live album out today. You'll see that DLR still sounds pretty good.

Hmmm... I think I might go see Van Halen in Cincinnati. Just get a cheap lawn ticket, should be a good show. I wish they'd get Michael Anthony back on bass and complete the original lineup, but he's very much "Team Hagar" these days, although I think it's more "anti-Eddie" than anything.
