Stop worrying about it! The longer they wait the longer you can save $$$ @ $285 a ticket it is quite a stiff price for a ticket. The upside is that, unlike 10C you don't have to wait for the day of the show for tickets and you know where your seats are.

[theboxerorthebag]

doesn't matter how long they give me, I can't play $285 for a ticket. I will stick to the $90 ones.

Well, the best tickets are General Admission anyway, and those are $55.

Controversy over U2's Berlin wall
BBC
November 05, 2009
By RODRIGO DAVIES

A U2 show marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has run into controversy - after organisers built a wall around the venue.

A two metre barrier has been erected around the Brandenburg gate to keep out people without tickets for the show.

"This has created a lot of outrage here because the falling of the wall was supposed to bring people together," said BBC reporter Damien McGuinness.

The U2 show is part of the MTV Europe Music Awards, which take place later.

Ten thousand tickets were given away free online and snapped up within hours.

Now police in the city say they're expecting as many as 100,000 people to descend on the square in front of the Brandenburg gate to try and catch a glimpse of U2.

"It is a big event, one that I am very pleased about. It would be nice if as many Berliners as possible could take part," Frank Henkel, Christian Democrat floor leader in the Berlin city-state parliament, was quoted as saying in the daily Berliner Morgenpost.

"It would be great if the organizers would avoid barriers of any kind."

McGuinness said Berliners think it is "pretty ironic" that an event to mark the falling of the wall has resulted in another one being constructed.

Berlin politicians dissuaded US President Barack Obama from visiting the city as part of the celebrations, for fear his security operation would require several main roads be blocked off.

It is now feared road blocking will be necessary to accommodate U2's fans.

Calls to representatives of U2 and MTV seeking comment have not yet been returned.
