Well if you weren't sarcastic, then I guess I wasn't either.
After you took advantage of the USA's welcome when you few stateside, the least you could do is extend the same courtesy/attitude to those who want to fly your way, that's all I'm saying.
It's not like there's going to be 20000 Americans at your shows for crying out loud!

i've got a slightly better chance of attending than those answering "if i win the lottery." although at least in my case, i can say i also want to go so i can scout out potential future cities of residence.

I won't say 0% cause lord knows this band makes me do crazy stuff, so I'll say about 10%
I am not really expecting to hit any 4th leg shows UNLESS they do a date in Mexico that is NOT Mexico City... other than that, my tour is done this leg and I am fully aware that I have been extremely piggish this tour with the number of shows I am done and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to do so and can honestly say that I have been as excited about the first show as the latest date...

As Khanada put it so well, "there's a bit of a difference between people coming [to the USA] from countries that got skipped during elevation and people here in the states that get two legs every tour going over there."
How in the world did I "take advantage" of anything in the US? I honestly find that offensive, and I was never trying to offend anyone with my post. I was simply expressing my desire that locals who rarely see U2 in their neck of the woods get to see the band.
Westport said:Sure there's a greater chance to seeing them here in the U.S. ...but at the same time...we're all struggling to get tickets wherever we are....and if we start trying to equate whether or not we'd be taking tickets away from someone who lives locally by traveling to Australia...the same thing can be said for someone who traveled to the U.S. to see a show from Australia or New Zealand...you still took away a ticket of a local someone over...the percentages might higher over here because there are more shows but its still the same thing...
i also don't think there were 20000 australians at the american shows.u2wedge said:It's not like there's going to be 20000 Americans at your shows for crying out loud!

take advantage is used in it's positive connotation there, Axver.

You know, if U2 had announced the 4th leg a whole lot earlier and if I didn't have a girlfriend currently living in the US, I wouldn't have made the trek across the Pacific. It's not like I flew over knowing full well U2 were going to play Auckland - as recently as a week ago, I thought U2 would never play New Zealand ever again.
And now Chizip's playing One Tree Hill!

BTW, is Mexico City really that bad? Had been thinking about that as a back up in case Argentina didn't pan out, but reading up on it, it doesn't seem to be the best place for a solo gal to be (although I can pass for Mexican if I don't open my mouth)...
