    I'll be able to get the tickets tomorrow morning. Is it better to get hogan/cusack lower to get a better view?

    Was there for Bruce. The sound wasn't that good. When he started telling stories it was hard to hear. That was the cusack - upper. What's the best area to get?

    Hogan lower sec 335-331
    Cusack lower sec 303-308

    I would not go for any Davin stand ticket, I imagine the upper stands would have a good view but the sound may be ****e

    The layout is weird for this with the wheelchair sections up a lot closer than it was for other concerts(located on both sides of pitch 1), it's normally down by the Davin stand

    Saw the 360 tour in the upper Davin. Sound was great but couldn't see a fúcking thing.

    Seats up in the clouds I'd expect? Any seat at croker is a bad idea. Standing is the only way to go.

    The one and only time it's been good. And that was purely because of the way the band had the PA laid out

    I'd say about 20 tickets at that price, all in the nosebleeds and behind a pillar. They just like to be able to advertise it as 'prices starting from €34.50'

    OK stupid question here. Everyone who registers on U2 site guaranteed tickets? Or there is a limited pool to buy from? Put simply, if I join now would I be guaranteed pitch tickets if I want?

    Hope to fcuk I get a decent ticket. Not worth it otherwise. Wish it was in the 3 arena again!

    Anybody buying tickets for the foreign shows? I was looking on the German ticketmaster and all the tickets are more expensive again, plus they charge 34 euro intl delivery!

    Anybody know what the Italian equivilant of ticketmaster is?

    Saw the Vertigo tour in Rome and can't recommend it highly enough. The Italians are fúcking mental. Bono doing Pavarotti's bit in Miss Sarajevo remains one of my favourite gig moments ever.

    E110 for the upper tiers are not bad but you could be up really high and hear **** all, would not mind being in rows A-D in the upper though

    The fan club sales are through TM so its the same as the general sale, every person for themselves no guarantee of tickets

    I've no doubt there is a limit on the amount of presale tickets. Not everyone that has a presale code will get a ticket imo.

    I'd feel a bit robbed if there is. I'm maybe a bit naive but surely if people miss out in the presale that means it's sold out and won't be going on general sale at all. Would be very unfair if people in the presale don't get tickets yet people pick them up on general sale.

    I listen to a lot of American radio & they're going absolutely nuts for this tour over there. Every station I listen to is goiving away tickets, I'm hearing Joshua Tree tracks every hour including non single ones & B-sides

    It's reminding me a lot of this

    Reckon about 70% of the tickets will go on sale next Monday

    The fan club may have about a 10% allocation for the sales

    12% will go to sponsors/family and friends of the band

    About 10% to the premium ticket holders

    The remaining 8% or less will be held back and may go on sale at a later date eg production seats

    Are you basing it on anything concrete or just pure out of the ar$e figures?

    The pitch

    Seconded. Last seen U2 at Croke Park for the HTDAAB Tour, sat up in the Davin/Canal Stand, sound really spoiled it. Pitch is the only place to be. Even if standing for next to 5 hrs like I was for Bruce, makes it worth it.

    Sends a shiver down my spine every time i hear it, In my mind it is the greatest single performance by Bono, ever, I've seen them many many times.

    Only 10% in presale is obviously BS! Why would they bother doing that it at all if that was the case?

    That's still around 8,000 tickets. Its more than a token gesture.
