U2 tickets still on sale!

how many tickets are available for each gig does anyone know?
I worked it out yesterday if it's 80,000 for each gig, well 3x80K=240K (so say 250K x 60 per ticket = 15m they are making. I'm sure they'll be making a profit off that.

apparently it costs a million a night to put the show on, so that will have to come out too

That figure is grossly inflated.
The cost of the Vertigo show isnt as high as Popmart or Zoo TV which cost well under 1m per night.
Security is a big cost though.
They will gross $250m for the first 2 legs alone.

I think 80K is seating only (for matches) fit another few thousand on the pitch too!

The capacity of the ground for GAA matches is 80,000 but 20,000 of that is standing on Hill 16.
Hill 16 is closed for the concert as the stage is at that end .
I think there will be around 75,000 people at each show,not the 80,000 publicised due to security issues .
Of that ;65,000 will be paying customers ,the rest are promo,sponsors,American Express,etc.
I heard the GAA were looking for 1m rent for the 3rd night alone when the average price of a venue that size in Europe is 1/4m.

Official capacity for Croke Park now stands at 82,500, or which Hill 16 holds roughly 13,000. I'd say with the stage being on the Hill, but with the additional punters on the pitch, the attendance for the concerts will be around 80,000.
