It's too bad for a lot of people that the tickets are so high! For a lot of us with no responsibility outside of our own needs it's less of a problem, but for those with families, very often the old school fans, the prices are TOTALLY NON-AFFORDABLE!!!!
A friend of mine who has been a U2 fan for an incredibly long time, expressed his frustrations to me the other day as he is a family man who wanted so much for his kids to expereince U2 live. However the ticket prices made this basically impossible. It's just too bad that the prices of this particular tour are keeping a lot of fans from coming as opposed to the more reasonble priced previous tours.
Here is a letter he wrote. I'm not sure to who but it was to someone who had some kind of say in the situtation:........
Why oh why have the tickets been priced so high.
For months I’ve have been promising my family, and especially my daughter, a special night out with U2 but at those prices I can't afford to go.
It would cost me £240 minimum to see them in Manchester. This is outside the realm of any conceivable price rise compared to the last tour. I admit I was expecting £40 a ticket max and have saved as best as possible.
It's very saddening to think that the biggest band in the world needs to charge that much.
Bono said during concerts on the last tour that he was thankful to the fans for "giving them a great life". I guess he'll be really thankful now! Unless he's planning on 'cancelling the debt' by way of the revenue of this tour then I can't see any reason for such exorbitant ticket costs.
It is a very disappointing day!
With deep frustration & regret

Ps. I will continue to enjoy their music but it would be nice to enjoy it live.
