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

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's fucking chicken parm, not parma you son of a bitch

 

[Axver]

The fuck are you talking about. It's bad enough when these degenerate New South Welshmen around whom I currently live call it a "parmi".

what a seppo amirite

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I half expect him to call it a chicko parmo

Parma is the place, friend. Chicken Milano? Chicken Milanese.

 

[Axver]

I suspect you Yanks are talking about the chicken parmesan anyway, when I am talking about the (Melbourne-style) chicken parmigiana, about which there really are mildly heated debates about whether it's a parma or a parmi.

To be entirely serious, some parma aficionados look disdainfully upon the American chicken parmesan as some dreadful bastardisation of the parma but when I was in the States I found it to be a delicious similar-but-separate dish.

As far as the parma goes, it really is true that the further you get from Victoria, the worse the parmas become.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

It’s certainly a bastardization of Italian food, but it is delicious.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Do not ever speak ill about chicken parm

 

[Hewson]

Do not ever speak ill about chicken parm

"Chicken parm you taste so good"

It’s pretty fucked that the cat three $190 seats are still level three.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

What's the availability when adjusted for inflation?

 

[cobl04]

Don’t bring that Peeling Off bullshit in our thread cunt.

 

[Hewson]

Don’t bring that Peeling Off bullshit in our thread cunt.

Its more Sting reference bullshit than Peeling Off bullshit, see you next Tuesday.

 

[kabigon]

Sting got Parm'd Off

 

[d.darroch]

It’s pretty fucked that the cat three $190 seats are still level three.

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

 

[bakedpony]

Going to both Tokyo shows, first U2 concerts for me!

Hopefully there will be some differences setlist wise

 

[lazarus]

Congrats!

Unfortunately the differences might just amount to Stuck in a Moment being rotated with In A Little While.

Imagine a world where the band was cool enough to treat Japan to a suite of United Colors of Plutonium, Ito Okashi, and One Minute Warning.

 

[kabigon]

Virtually no tickets left for Auckland after about 45 minutes of the general sale

Adelaide is a bit slow... you can still pull up the $65 tickets after about 20 minutes

 

[kabigon]

Five minutes into Melbourne's sale, only single seats available. Yikes.

 

[cobl04]

Good signs!

 

[kabigon]

So now we know that using Live Nation presales to predict demand is like using opinion polls to predict the election result

 

[prbiker15]

Curious to see how Perth sells. If it doesn’t get a 2nd show, that Singapore date could be announced soon.

 

[bono_man2002]

2nd show for NZ. On sale next week.

 

[bono_man2002]

GA for Sydney is gawwwn.

Probably up on eBay soon enough.

 

[dan_smee]

Ticketek is shown a second date for Sydney, but I haven’t seen any announcement yet

 

[bono_man2002]

Livenation sent out a tweet late in the afternoon confirming Second and Final Sydney.

Melbourne hasn't announced a 2nd yet, had a look on TicketBastard before and lots of single seats left, GA appears gone... should have a second date announced you would think?

 

[cobl04]

No big rush I wouldn't have thought. It's been half a week.

 

[scrumpyjsk]

GA still available for Perth after four hours. Disappointing.

 

[Axver]

Presales for Auckland and Sydney for Thursday now listed on U2.com, so if there's gonna be a second Melbourne show you'd think it needs to be announced soon.

If there isn't a second, well, that fucking sucks.
