Bono Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Bono, what do you think of that stage setup with the long catwalk? As this forums biggest U2 fan I must say it excited me. Just knowing U2 is touring next year is wild. I let my fan club membership lapse this year, but after your story I don't feel too bad about it. Had mine since 2001. What cities are you going to hit up other than Canada.As of right now only Montreal is on my list for 2015 but there's speculation they will add dates in Ireland later in the year possibly a NYE show and if that ends up being the case I will definitely try for the shows in Ireland.As for the stage setup it does look cool. Reminds me of the Foo Fighters set up when they played Wembley Stadium. I just wonder how much of it they will use. I kinda found that they didn't really utilize the massive 360 stage as much as they could've. I mean it's a nice idea but will they spend the majority of the show at the main end and then only really come down to the other end for an acoustic set? Hard to say but it is interesting. Are you going to catch any shows? If you sign up at u2.com tonight you will be eligible for a presale code for tomorrow. At least that's what they said but who knows. They got flooded with traffic and new memberships yesterday so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Castaneda Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well, well, well..... I can still get a presale code? I better sign up. As far as the stage , yeah, the band stopped utilizing circles on Elevation. I bummed there is no circle to aim for. As far as cites, I don't know, I have seen the band in every major city in the US except Seattle. I might do phoniex and go to the desert too. Troubles is my new favorite off the album now.

Black Sabbath Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 You can also do a Fan Club bundle tomorrow. Same difference. I might do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 black sabbath, do you want to go to a show together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I plan on trying to get a pair of tickets for each MSG show. My dad is probably the only on me who was going to go with me But if you end up getting a ticket or if there's a show my dad doesn't want to go to, we can definitely go together. Regardless, I want to get GA for all of the MSG shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Keep in mind guys there is speculation based on some codes someone figured out that they alreadyhave in place a plan to add more shows once these shows sell out. I know they always do this but someone found "proof" of it yesterday. I can't find it now but anyways it looks as though in total there willbe 8 shows in NYC8 shows in Los Angeles6 shows in Chicago4 shows in Boston4 shows in Montrealpossibly 4 shows in Toronto. This is just speculation by fans although it seems like pretty well thought out and legit speculation based on some kind of itinerary codes. Also when you take into consideration the huge gaps of time between cities it does make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there is no holy grail of lining up and getting that sweet spot of the first however many into the circle/heart. I have spent so many nights in line for that stuff.I curious, who are the U2 die hards on the forum? Me, Bono, but who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Probably you, me and Bono And I live in Pennsylvania, about 2 hours from Philly; 4 hours from NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Did any of you guys score tickets today in the presale? Sounds like it's been an absolute shit show. I'm so glad I was in the first group yesterday cause today would've been almost no different than a general public sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I'm not really a die hard, but I'm a huge fan (there's a differencce). Probably the only band that might take me to a show if they do come by. Edited December 5, 2014 by ProstituteComa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 yeah I figured it would be a shit show today. Monday will be nuts too. I'm going for the highest priced seats in Montreal on Monday so I'm hoping that will make it a bit easier to grab a pair but we'll see.

James Bond Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I didn't want to spend $300 for seats so I bought a pair of corner upper bowl seats for the first Toronto show. Only 4 rows up so it shouldn't be too terrible. At least I'll be there and didn't spend an arm and a leg. If the GA had been available then I would have gone for that but alas I didn't want to wait to try my luck on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling with whether or not I should try buy two soa friend can come with me or just buy one for myself. I'm actually really shocked they jacked the prices this tour compared to last tour.

Bono Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This was posted by Andybrock at interference and as you guys can see there seems to be a plan already in place to add extra dates. This is what I was talking about earlier. It's not for sure but it's interesting. When you look at the tour page source code, every show has a link associated with it, such as U2 So I looked at all of them, and there's some inconsistencies...

I figured prices would be up there but I almost shit when I saw that 90% of the upper bowl was still the $300 price level. Much worse than the prices last time. I'm glad there was still a handful of the $114 seats available otherwise I would have been stuck paying $600+ for the lady and I to go. Needless to say - neither of us were willing to do that.

Gackt Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'd see them if they add a Minneapolis date to the tour, I really don't feel like driving to Chicago to see the band again..The new fan club bonus looks nice too, I might be tempted if they add that tour date http://www.u2.com/news/title/classic-live-set-double-vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Managed to get tickets for Antwerp. Don't know what date though, because I clicked on just about anything, had like six windows open and got a message it was sold out once. I was about to give up, when all of a sudden I got through anyway and was able to order. Yay! It'll be my third time seeing U2, once every decade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 No luck whatsoever with tickets. Guess I'll try to get some decent resale tickets before then or try again when they add more shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I got my tickets this morning!!!! Got the tickets for Montreal on June 12th during the presale and the June 13th tickets I got this morning. Then waited 3 hours for Vancouver to go on sale and got tickets to opening night of the tour. So stoked for this! I've never been to the opening show of a tour before so that'll be cool even if they're still working out the kinks, it's just be exciting to be there when it all begins! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 What the fuck? Why are all ticket prices on ticketmaster Rolling Stones prices?

Bono Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I've never seen anyone be so happy or excited to sing someone else's songs and with so much passion. Bruce may not have the voice he once did but he sure has the heart and soul. Nice job. To think I missed this by 4 days. Took place about 500 feet from my hotel.
