The PJ results started rolling in shortly after I made my post.
Wednesday it is (maybe).

Wow! Requests must have exceeded the initial supply then.

My guess too. Looks like they'll have no issues selling this thing!
Now to debate on whether I should adjust my initial request to those dates or not.

I would like to edit mine, but I don’t want in any way shape or form for something to get screwed up for some reason, not that I’d ever know
, but just going to let it ride and see what happens tomorrow and I guess if I don’t get lucky, I’ll be in the TM verified presale pool??

Bingo.
Now time to strategize. Glad I didn't put in yet. Cause everyone else is going to be scrambling to redo their entries.

Yep looks like more shows still to come. Projected to run to Nov 3 & 4 initially.
So at least 4 more, Oct 27 & 28 plus Nov 3 & 4, and likely 5 including Wednesday 11/1.

Definitely not requesting Friday the 13th.

If I didn’t have a toddler to raise I’d probably jump on this even without Larry.

Just leave a box of cheerios and a gallon of milk on the floor. Kid will be fine for a couple of days.
awesome. i hope this loosens up some of the demand for the first three shows.
i can't do any of these new ones - so it's either one of the first three, or have to wait and hope that some november gigs get added.

I think my 3 choices will be the 3 Wednesdays, with Thurs 10/5 as a possibility once I do a bit more flight/hotel legwork.
Should be the least expensive way to go, and figure the weekend shows should have higher demand, all the southern Californians and Arizonans etc. who can drive will likely opt for weekends and others who fly will need less time off work.
I've got plenty of available vacation days so work can do without me for 4 days. (Likely fly out on Tuesday and return on Friday).

Feels inevitable. They can run 3 shows a week through 11/11 and tie a nice bow at 20 shows.

Original rumours were up to 12 shows - adding the Wednesdays from the start is interesting. 12 shows and we haven’t hit November yet.
So what’s left - I haven’t followed closely enough to know the cinema dates, but if it’s the same pattern right through, they could conceivably do
28, 29 October
1, 4, 5, 8, 11, 12 Nov
Space around F1 week I assume from Wednesday is smart.
Is there availability to start back up on 22 November? Bono did say they’d have a hard time getting them out of there. They won’t tour properly until Larry is healthy. What’s the bookings like into December? Assuming availability, they could add
22, 25, 26, 29 Nov
2, 3, 6, 9, 10 December and be out well before Xmas. 13 Dec would be 30 shows. Surely that’s too many? That’s 540,000 people at 18k per show.
If the article suggesting they’d make $1,575,000 per show is accurate, that’s $47.25m

there are "Postcard From Earth" shows booked every day after the F1 race - with the exception of Super Bowl weekend. I don't think U2 will be playing Super Bowl weekend though... the Super Bowl is in Vegas, so my assumption is that the NFL has booked the venue for that weekend for something.
There will absolutely 100% be no shows during F1 week... so this thing will have to wrap prior to that.
the remaining open dates are as follows...
October 27, 28
November 1, 3, 4
November 8, 10, 11
November 15 to 19 is open as well - but that's F1 week. The venue is booked for the race - and access will be VERY limited.
So the last possible date for these shows is November 11.
Could they go ahead and cancel some of the Postcard shows in December? Sure. As the saying goes... plenty of good seats still available.
So we'll see.

side note... the ticket sales for Postcard From Earth right now appear to be spectacularly bad.

I suppose the question is, if U2 is selling well, would they refund people who have booked postcards from earth in 7 months time in order to keep it going?
I didn’t see the last part of the previous post. Carry on…
they, uh, wouldn't have to do much work to process those refunds.
woooo buddy.
to say that they reeeeeally need these shows to be successful to help build hype for the venue would be the understatement of the century.
this is opening night.
puuuuuuuuhlenty of good seats still available

Nah,
JT 2019 went well into December
360 well into December 2010
Vertigo went well into December in 2005 and 2006
Elevation just ticked into December
PopMart went to 12 December
Zootv 10 December
Love town European leg was 75% in December
Joshua Tree to 20 December
Unforgettable Fire 3rd leg in USA was entirely in December
October 2nd and 3rd legs covered December
Boy 1st, 2nd AND 3rd legs December 1980.
So yeah, basically only I+e (which did go into December, albeit unplanned), E+I and War didn’t.

Wow. It’s almost like they might even encourage u2 to stay on for a bit, even if they aren’t getting much of the gate - Vegas runs on possession, right? Get people in and keep them there. Free meal/drinks but keep gambling?
Free meals? You sold Bono
