2018 Tour Rumour Thread

Kind of surprised there isn’t a VIP package to raise money for Tester like they did in 2012. 

They're working on something. It's handled by Tester's office/website, the band's people aren't involved. It went really well in 2012 actually. I had to commit a lil fraud to purchase tickets as it was only intended for US citizens.

I think it comes down to population numbers...

47% of the USA lives in the Eastern Time Zone (with a lot of it jammed into the northeast)
29% in Central Time Zone
16% in Pacific Time Zone
6% in Mountain Time Zone



This explains the "East Coast Bias"... it's where everyone lives, so they tour here more 

And Chicago is a massive Metropolis with a huge population... coupled with Ed's connection to the area... it's understandable why they play there so often in larger venues/events

East Coast also has Europe and (somewhat) South Americw.

Here’s the thing though. If you want to go to one show at one of the cities and you don’t care which show, you pick the least popular show as your first pick and you should get it.

I emailed the 10c and they said tickets are $85 - $112 before fees on this tour. I’m happy to pay as its worth every penny, but why do you think the steeper prices? 2013 - 2016 was quite a bit more affordable for tickets. Not conplaining! Just curious 

Steeper prices? Fans here must know what other major acts charge for prime concert seats?

Well....if I were smart enough to sign up 26 years ago, and could score tenth row, year after year,  city after city, I'd probably just stick with the one band as well!

Yikes. I mean, other bands do charge more but $112 for a ticket before charges for PJ in a 45,000 seat stadium, IS a big increase over just 2 years ago. 

U2s upcoming msg shows, $300 w fees, for upper level nose bleeds. No joke.


Edit: I just checked. I was wrong.

$331 PLUS FEES. Upper level 5 rows from top.

PJ charged $85 + SC  for every msg seat in 16 if I recall correctly. They do a great job keeping prices low, but with their "system" - low  tensee numbers stockpiled tix , driving up resale prices to U2 land.

If that's where prices end up anyway for the very popular bands, seems fairer if the band gets that $

I agree

"u2 sucks" is a matter of personal opinion and that doesn't mean you are even close to being right

Funny, i wasn’t a huge fan of them at all, but a friend dragged me to their Joshua tree show in Pasadena last year and i loved it. They sounded really good and put on a great show. Just my opinion of course

I just paid $80 for ga u2 tickets. They far from suck.

Man, I love U2, especially their older stuff.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I’ve seen U2 on the last two tours and been fortunate to have VIP seats both times.  I’ll also be seeing them in June at MSG with VIP tix again and I’m psyched because they’ve never been less than spectacular.

Joshua Tree had some good songs on it

I like some older U2... but generally speaking,  everything I've heard in the 21st century has been not that good
