U2 to give €9m of tour profits to charity - News, Music & Gigs - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk
Monday, 30 March 2009
Rockers U2 will donate an estimated €9m of their summer tour profits to charity, it was revealed last night.
The artists will give away 100pc of their income from VIP auction ticket sales at up to 100 worldwide concerts.
Up to 600 stage-front tickets per gig are being sold off via auction, with minimum starting bids of between €95 and €1,015.
Every cent band members Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr earn from the sale of tickets in the 'Red Zone' will go to charity.
Thanks - great info.
I The second e-mail stated that my credit card had been authorised and I had 4 tickets in RED2 and they even gave row and seat numbers.
Oh - didn't know they assign seats and section. Wonder if they do it based on bid prices. A friend and I were going to each do our own bidding for 1 ticket and meet at the venue. Based on this, I guess we may not even be able to be on the same side.
