U2

[Doc Emmett Brown]

"the band will keep prices down for the tour. As U2?s manager Paul McGuinness said of the European pricing, ?U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by the audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than 95 Euro, general admission floor tickets priced at 55 euro and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at the 30 Euro price range, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view.?"

sounds great.

That is good to hear. I was just reading about Irving Azoff explaining Ticketmaster 's infamous service charge:

Azoff echoed Diller?s line during the hearings: ?The only person in the business with a monopoly is the artist,? he said, which in his highflying world means the Eagles, U2 and Guns N? Roses, not Crystal Antlers, Emily Wells and other small-venue artists who are only privy to the downside of Ticketmaster?s service charge. Is it any wonder that in recent days a growing number of marquee names, including Jay-Z, U2 and Van Halen, have come out in support of the merger?

Where does it come from?
All this hatred.

Hatred is not something you?re born with.
It gets taught.

Axl likes them doesn't he?
I'm not a big fan of bono's vox either.  edge's guitar is cool.

I found your exaggeration funny.  that's all.

The Interscope album sold a brisk 484,000 copies in the U.S., according to data from Nielsen SoundScan. It?s the biggest first-week tally since Britney Spears? ?Circus? sold 505,000 copies during the holiday season last year.

This album is a grower.  I have had it running in the car for a few days now and the more I listen, the more I like it.

You can't trust anyone who doesn't at least dig New Year's Day.

[uzisuicide2002]

How much are U.S. tickets going to be? i want to seem them in Foxboro,MA

[uzisuicide2002]

HA they are looking for 32.50 to 252.50

I?m not loving this album, in my opinion it is very boring and brings nothing new. Get on Your Boots is basically a clone of Vertigo. I really like U2 but this album not so much. In the meantime, I invite you all to check this out...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EmpuBcjLs quite funny.

[The Catcher]

The most boring band ever, with the most boring, self-righteous lead singer ever.

One ticket only set me back $280!!!!!!!!

Excuse me while I grab a straitjacket. 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

What I believe is a very cool music video.

My favorite song from Line!

That post you quoted was from April.

I left my position in June, which was a month ago.  I quit the day after we went to game one of the NBA Finals between the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers.

I plan on selling the ticket and buying a GA Floor ticket.
