Due to overwhelming demand for tickets following this morning's public onsale, four additional shows have been added to finalise the European leg of The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 this summer. These second shows will be at Twickenham, London on July 9th, the Olympic Stadium in Rome on July 16th, the Stade de France in Paris on July 26th and the Amsterdam Arena on July 30th.

I have seen this used for a lot of European shows, including the tickets for U2 in Berlin as sold by ticketmaster. De. Ireland for its size is surely one of the biggest gig going countries and countless bands have reported on how much they love coming here. So why do we get treated like crap by ticketmaster!? Let us see the available tickets and colour code the areas in line with the availability! As soon as this tour was announced I thought U2 would have the closing date in Pairc ui Ciomhe, Cork, just like they did in 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour. The stadium I believe is to be completed by the summer so I still suspect this date to be announced. Here's hoping! I really hope nobody feeds the money grabbing touts, and that they are left with there tickets! The money been charged is horrendous and needs to be stopped! As u2 are selling the optional laminate ticket / memento I presumed the Croke Park gig would be another paperless affair, am I wrong in thinking this?!

Paddy power had a third gig up as 6/4http://www.paddypower.com/bet/music/u2-specials/U2-2017-Tour-Specials-11698189.html?force_racing_css=N There has yet to be anything to fully convince me a 2nd is definitely off the cards though. I also would have thought croke park would prefer to get 2 gigs rather than another completely separate one, admin & logistics etc.
Manufactured Miracle wrote: » But if Croke Park can only hold three gigs a year, there's only one slot left. Coldplay sold out Croker and added extra dates in Italy, Wales etc. But they couldn't add more to Ireland because of the Croke Park restrictions. I imagine it's the same here with U2, the 3rd gig is heavily rumoured to be Ed Sheeran and there's simply no room for more gigs even if U2 wanted it. There's more in favour of it being one gig only such as official spokesperson confirmations, dates and stadium restrictions whereas the only thing In favour of it being two nights is simply hoping there are more dates. The fact that more dates are announced elsewhere and no extra Irish dates have been added reinforces that there is only one gig.

That's just one example, fans have spent thousands on CD's and concerts over the years, if they hadn't been supported here first they never would have gone anywhere. I'd love to see U2 do a full Irish Tour some time, Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Letterkenny, Kilkenny, Belfast, Derry etc.

lambayire wrote: » If that is the case and someone else has the 3rd gig lined up, then it strikes me as a bit odd that they have traded down from the approx. 240K of tickets for 360 to 80K for this one. Phoenix Park, Slane etc... And I know that Slane already has GNR. Someone has misjudged this one.
Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » Phoenix Park is the only other option and even then, no gigs seem to happen there now Aviva has too low a capacity, they'd end up doing 5 or 6 dates, which is unrealistic.
johnpatrick81 wrote: » That doesn't mean they weren't allocated. It's completely corporately run, by people in offices. Those tickets are gone and have been assigned to all sorts of packages. They will then also pop up on Seatwave down the line. Watch the documentary, it's crazy.

I had phone and tablet with app open, tried twice on tablet to get pitch tickets from 9am no joy and then tried any ticket option on the phone and bingo after about 10 mins I got upper tier 704. I'm hoping this a good spot for him as he is life long fan, anybody tell me if it is, it's row m.
