I went to the U2 show in Glendale AZ a few weeks ago.

On this tour, they are making special shirts for each show. On the front, the U2 360 logo. On the back, the diagram and name of the stadium in that city with the date.

you thought PJ merch goes quick? By the time U2 went on, most of the merch vendors were packing up to go home. the rest had a few items left on a table. crazy. Of course there were those scumbags buying 20 shirts and suprise suprise, there's a bunch of them on ebay.

so I go to U2.com and it turns out that they are selling them there. You'd feel like shit if you bought one on ebay and maybe worse if you're the flipper because you have no market. boo hoo baby.

hint hint pj!

    I noticed that too. I bought a date specific shirt in Vancouver and then saw that most of the date specific ones were available on U2.com.

    Not only is all of the tour merchandise on U2.com, did you notice everything is $10 cheaper than it was at the concert? I saw them in Las Vegas and what shirts were left (no Sam Boyd Stadiums) were $40 on the website $30 and if you use your 25% coupon issued from the fan club that drops it to $23.

    The fact that it is cheaper online didn't escape me either. That part didn't make me happy after buying a shirt at the show but I just need to look at it that I can buy something I missed while trying to fight the merch lines.

    Why even bother with the lines when you can get the items on line? No pushing, shoving etc. Had I checked U2.com prior to the show, I would have purchased the items I wanted and been able to have more time in the beer lines at the show! I spent at least 45 min. in merch line, that's a couple more beers! :D And since it wasn't a PJ show, I didn't pack a tube for the poster but managed to get it home in one piece.

    Man this is awesome. I obviously wish I had known before I overpaid for shirts, but I was seriously distraught that the posters sold out because it was my son's first show and even though he'll never remember it I wanted to frame the poster with our tickets so he would always have that as a keepsake.

    Im not that excited, I just feel like I want to check them out once.... but Im still not certain I want to go.

    I love them, but you should check out the U2 thread over in other music.

    He's 2 1/2.

    We got some grief for taking him but we only did it because it was outdoors and we had his ears well protected. He did super and even managed to fall asleep at one point. :)

    I've been a fan my whole life but never saw them until a month ago. Having missed out on tours that I know would have been better, I can still honestly say that I was blown away and they exceeded all of my expectations. If you already have the tickets you should most certainly go.

    this one

    you should go to youtube and watch the rose bowl show from last week...i've been a huge u2 fan from back in the day and i was a little hesitant about going to the show but it turned out to be a great show...it's not pj but it is quite a spectacle and for being a stadium the sound was really good

    I think they are cheaper on u2.com to compensate for the tax/shipping?

    I could be wrong.

    But when you factor in shipping, it's the same price.
