    Setlists for a hypothetical late 2019 tour of Australia, NZ, Asia

    For me it's a total toss up as to whether it'll look a lot like the US/Europe shows, or whether they'll redesign it to incorporate a decent amount of SoI/SoE. I'm an optimist, & hoping for the latter.

    Nah, for names we always put the 'o' on the end. Richo, Davo, Stevo :lol:

    You're right, the tickets are too expensive. But this is the way the concert industry operates nowadays. It's called "dynamic pricing". Hoping to sell out the intial show quite quickly. But keeping prices high initially, trying to eek out every dollar profit that's possible, selling out not long...

    Yawn :yawn: FYI, for anyone that doesn't take a ticket for Melbourne 1, there's just been a ticket drop. Seats & GA available. https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/venueartist/303717/736365 I guess this means the rumoured logistical issues have been sorted, & we may see an announcement for...

    Where have all the U2 discussions gone?

    I spend much more time over on U2Start. Like here, there's lots of knowledgeable fans who are passionate about the band. They're based in Europe, but have members from all over. I'd say they are much more interested in a tour happening on far flung shores, some of their mods will be travelling a...

    Same goes with Brisbane. That's Brisbn, not Brisbaaaane! Emma gets it. https://youtu.be/xxzI00HVCeQ The American does not! :doh: Thumbs down to that video! https://youtu.be/BQKB9WMCMJ8 Come on Americans, you can do this! I can say Birmingm when I'm in the UK, & Birmingham when I'm in the US...

    Setlists for a hypothetical late 2019 tour of Australia, NZ, Asia

    The seating plan looks like they're selling just over half the stadium (which is symmetrical), so I'd say over 28,000 capacity. Add the GA on that pretty large field & we're well over 30,000. Can't fill the field totally, as GA on the sides will have a horrible view. The field is very wide, end...

    It's actually cheaper than I expected. Significantly cheaper than Japan, which is a little unexpected to me (after comparing a few other acts, to determine where I wanted to travel to). GA's in Singapore are 137 USD (compared to 183 USD in Japan, & 91 USD in Oz). RZ's in Singapore are 430 USD...

    Setlists for a hypothetical late 2019 tour of Australia, NZ, Asia

    Yeah, it's certainly a weird system. It's the reason I got a u2.com membership for the first time in years. Wanted to get in early & get my tickets before the general sale lottery craziness began. I go GA, but for those in seats, you have absolutely know idea where you'll be seated, other than...

    Setlists for a hypothetical late 2019 tour of Australia, NZ, Asia

    Who knows what demand is like in Japan & Seoul. With the weird lottery system Japan general sales aren't until July, so they couldn't wait until then, & had to lock-in the second Japan show. Seoul is the smallest venue on the tour I believe. A totally weird layout, inside a baseball arena, where...

    It's even more fucked that for both Sydney & Melbourne at least, there aren't even any Cat 4 seats (only GA). You either pay $60 or $190 plus, nothing in between :ohmy:

    Another batch of GA's have been dumped for Sydney. Can currently buy 4.

    Yeah Sydney GA's sold out, but it did take a long time, over 8 hours. Last time I checked Brisbane this morning, you could still pull up 4 GA's, that's 20 hours into the presale! I guess the presales aren't well publicised, & who knows how big the ticket allocations are for GA.

    It certainly does. Hopefully it won't just be a rehash of the JT30 setlist, & they can morph it to include some of the highlights of the two recent arena tours.

    Yeah, while cycling the FM stations yesterday, I heard Everlasting Love on Triple M. That's where I'd expect the talk to be coming from.

    Plenty of casuals would have heard about it, as lots of radio stations have mentioned the rumour. Particularly Nova, which is a popular station here, spilling the beans because they thought the tour had already been announced. Plus the Sydney Morning Herald (the second most widely read newspaper...

    Sorry, I can't help OP. But thanks very much for this video. I wasn't aware of this live version. I absolutely love Night & Day!

    Leaks everywhere, tour's on. Both Ticketbastard AU & NZ had pages up for Auckland, Melbourne & Brisbane shows.

    Is this the end for a while?

    They can reach far more people, in far fewer shows, if they play stadiums. If they are to tour again in a few years, I'd expect stadiums in Europe, and South America, rest of the world, if they decide to tour these areas. The US, who knows, I'd expect demand there will have recovered somewhat...

    TRADE my Belfast 2 GA for a London 2 GA.

    I have an extra Belfast 2 GA, & would like to swap it for a London 2 GA.

    I read somewhere that, other than Larry arriving by tube once, the band usually arrived by boat, disembarking at the far side of the complex, away from the crowd entrance & tube station. I have no personal experience though, as I just stayed in line in 2015. Enjoy the VIP experience. I've just...

    Ok, cool. Yeah, good they are sticking to their publically announced policy then, instead of changing things willy-nilly.

    Nashville GA line has started. What’s the official policy again? Looks like the usual check-in stuff going on now, :crack: https://www.pscp.tv/w/bdaS3DI1NzcwMzB8MWRSSlplTVpucHZHQvjt42ANuhOCOV2QATeJifI5M68Tvtnih6TU9x0B9pPf

    How are the tickets selling?

    Hahaha, I'm pretty cheap, but at $40, even I think that the rear uppers are usually pretty good value :lol: You get to hear the show, & see much of the show, though not the barricage screen (& if you're very high the lighting rigs & speakers, & even the screen, can limit views to the other end...
