A triumph in ticket sales.
A triumph in ticket sales.
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.

That's LiveNation for ya.

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.
I wonder if there will be a 2nd wave of new shows added this time next week?
What other gaps were there,i know of the two in london and toronto but what else is there?
In case anybody is wondering, here are the remaining gaps where extra shows could be announced - sticking rigidly to the two days on/two days off pattern.
After 4x LA: 3, 4, 8, 9 June
After 4x Montreal: 20, 21 June (could be used for Chicago rather than Montreal)
After 4x Chicago: 2, 3 July (could be used for Toronto rather than Chicago)
After 6x NYC: 30, 31 July
After 2x Barcelona: 9, 10 October (the first two shows have only gone on sale today, hence any extras not being added in this announcement)
After 2x Cologne: 21, 22 October
After 4x London: 2, 3 November
There is also, of course, room after 4x Paris but previous rumours suggested the total amount of shows there would be four. They could also keep going into August in NYC but rumours suggest the residency is limited to 18-31 July.
They could also squeeze in two more Berlin dates to bring its total to six if they were willing to have one rest period only a day long rather than two days long.
6 shows at msg? Has this ever happened? I wonder if set list duration is going to go down.
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.
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.
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.
The two more were in November, just before Thanksgiving.

For anyone in Minnesota, Star Tribune says 'big' concert announcment on Thursday. They seem to think it will be U2.

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).
