US Stadium Tour in 2008?

[BuckleThis]

A few weeks back, i received a survey via e-mail from Clear Channel asking all kinds of questions such as "If U2 were to tour stadiums this summer, would you go?" and quizzing me on what range of prices i would be willing to pay for tickets. Clear Channel controls most large venues in the U.S. and has been U2's promoter of record in the past. Anyone heard anything else along these lines?

I can almost garentee that u2 will not be touring ANY stadiums this year, unless the album is released around March

 

[Utoo]

Hopefully you said $15 for what you'd pay.....none of this hundreds of dollars stuff!

not gonna happen...


new album isn't out yet and they never start tours in the summer here in the US... It is always spring when their tours start...

 

[Galeongirl]

Don't get your hopes up.... it's not gonna happen...

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

Either way i think its interesting that they (clear channel) are sending out this survey.

 

[Rosebud]

Stadiums...

They did a survey like this a few months ago.

It would be nice for U2 to share the stadium "love" wiht the US, rather than just the rest of the world.

(I am sick to death of seeing U2 in stadiums, in Australian summers no less...... )

U2 is taking a break after making music for spiderman on broadway.

You wont get anything in march unless they end up doing different legs where they start off in europe outside.....

 

[BuckleThis]

They only gave multiple choice, overinflated options for the ticket prices, but, believe me, i picked the cheapest ones. Who the heck would not pick the cheapest ones?? Strange way to format a survey.

I'm guessing it's Clear Channel's way of coming up with a plan to throw at the band, in hopes of enticing them to be their annual big summer stadium client, moreso than any expressed intertest from the band themselves.

We can dream....

UGH!!!! No stadiums!!!!

They should do a mini tour in stadiums with The Police. I think this should happen for selfish reasons, but how could that double bill NOT sell out stadiums across the United States?
They could switch off who opens for who, and maybe even play a few songs together (Invisible Sun, Giants Stadium, 1986 anyone?).
Or if not The Police, how about BRUUUUUCE? That tour would be an unstoppable force.

All we know is Clear Channel wants opinions from fans.

Yes stadiums.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Police? God no...

Maybe Bruce, but The Police on tour again is just a sad we need more money reunion tour...

How about a U2/Led Zeppelin show? I really doubt Zeppelin would want to co-headline, but that would be a great show. Yeah, if U2 and Bruce got together in Jersey this summer, I guarantee it would set a record for fastest stadium sellout ever and displace the silliness of Hannah Montana.

 

[Carek1230]

U2 & Led Zeppelin would be magic!

 

[Jeannieco]

U2/Bruce

Clear Channel, Live Nation. Whatever.

As long as you're okay with U2 opening for Zep

 

[wtonis]

Let's give a stadium tour to the US and Club gigs and arenas to Europe this time..

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

U2/Hannah Montana....that would rock


Uh......wait a minute.......

You guys are all trying to give me nightmares.
