scored u2 tickets this morning, i would have been happy with GA but the person i'm going with REALLY wanted reserved seating. should be an awesome show. anyone else from australia attending any of the shows? :)

wooohoo! :D
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?

    Tickets have been so hard to get for this tour. I was trying since March to see one show somewhere within a 400 mile radius. Even took time off work to be online and stuff. Finally got a ticket to Montreal last Saturday on the day of the show. You will enjoy the show - it was really good.

    tix sold out in no time, as you'd expect. i'm really hoping they announce a second melbourne show, and i wouldn't be at all suprised if they did, there's room for another one on their schedule and they know that a second show (or fifth for that matter) will sellm out for sure, i'd almost expect another gig to be anounced.

    I would also except them to be doing more than one show in Melbourne, how many are they doing in Sydney?
    They announce a second auckland show as soon as the first show sold out, which took about 1 1/2 hours

    My story - I took time OFF WORK, paid a sub to teach for me, went to my HUSBAND'S office so I could have access to his T1 line the day tickets went onsale, pre-registered on Ticketmaster, opened the window, continually clicked on buy tickets, and within a second of the onsale time, it came up 'no tickets available'. This was back in March and I was trying for tickets to the Madison Square garden show in October. If you want to get a ticket the normal way, like online, or through the phone, you might as well give up a leg and your firstborn. Its practically impossible.

    Went both last night and Sunday, last night was great (how can you go wrong with Elvis and Santa circling the ellipse ramp), but Sunday was nothing short of phenomenal.
    Saw 6 of the 7 Boston shows, they were in fine form this tour, everyone down under and in SA is in for a long overdue, well desrved treat. Enjoy.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    I guess in the bigger cities the tix go faster, b/c I got a GA ticket for the show in St. Louis a week from tomorrow. Back in March, I just went down to the record store (where they have a Ticketmaster outlet) and just bought one when they went on sale. Only about a dozen people showed up as well.

    I'm stil stunned that their tix are going for 4X or more their face value. Back when they toured for ATYCLB, I think seats were still available for the St. Louis show.

    Good luck to all you getting tix!

    When I was getting tickets for U2 in Toronto. Me and my bro figured out plan. He would be constantly looking for tickets on the net as soon as they went on sale, and meanwhile I'd be dialing and redialing to try and get through on the phone.

    Ten minutes later, I managed to snag two tickets to the forth show. I'd say a minute later everything was gone.

    It was weird how there were only two shows planned in Toronto, but within ten minutes time, two more shows were added and completely sold out.

    My 1st and for sure will be my favorite concert ever. Pearl Jam the following Monday ties of course.
    things were different then
    all is different now
    I tried to explain
    somehow...
