U2 Joshua Tree Tour 2017 / 2019 No Ticket Sales

PTH2009

If anyone saw u2s Christmas message they mentioned that 2017 will be a huge year for the band. Songs of Experience will be released and there will be 'special' shows to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Joshua Tree album

I wonder what and where these JT shows will be played ??. Have a feeling they take place in big cities such as London, Paris, New York, LA, Sydney etc. Obv Dublin could get a show but they might shock people and play a show/shows in the Olympia ( tickets will sell in a flash), maybe those 2 Croke Park shows next summer are saved for u2 ???

Looks like singles only in 707. Pairs available in the restricted view spots.

Can you get two tickets beside each other or is it just random tickets around the stands?

Upper 707 available now lads

Med101007

What are the views like in the lower level sections 317/320??

EDIT: section 311 is available now. Slightly dearer though. Lower corner of Cusack stand. should be better view.

Low 320 myself. Delighted. Seeing them in London next week, but glad to see them at home too. Never seen them in Croke Park before.

Lower Section 317/ That's gotta be behind the sound area.
Good luck folks!

EDIT: 320 also available. Might be better. Maybe.

Keep searching ticketmaster's webpage.

Can't tell you how many times I got tickets for gigs, that were sold out, the day of the show on there. U2 included

Agree with Elevation. Not sure I do on Vertigo.

As for a GH tour.....I don't know if I'd call A Sort Of Homecoming, Bad, Bullet, Running To Standstill, Red Hill Mining Town, Exit, Mothers and One Tree Hill, Ultraviolet and the song of their forthcoming album, greatest hits.

None of them were ever released as singles and next to no one at these gigs, that I've seen, seem to have a clue about anything on The Joshua Tree's second side.

Sure, we know them but, most people don't.

As for Acrobat...Should have been played on Zoo TV. The one trick they missed on that tour

Good point, Acrobat would have fitted in so well on that Zoo tv tour, what an amazing tour that was

Yep, in truth this tour has more rarities than ever before! At the sacrifice of new songs of course.

Yep. Even doing the full version of New Year's Day too.

If the next album is anything like The Little Things That Give You Away, then it'll be a great album imo.

Hopefully it won't be the last we hear from them

Have been watching a good bit of footage from the current tour and its basically a greatest hits tour with the joshua tree album in there but does anyone think that Vertigo and Elevation are 2 of the most overrated U2 songs ever?

Yeah I agree on UTEOTW but CoBL I never liked bar the first time it was played. The casuals absolutely love Vertigo and Elevation so I doubt we'd see the back of them soon.

Dunno why they don't play Hold Me Thrill Me. It absolutely rocked on Popmart(although most did on that tour.....)

Thought we might have seen the Unforgettable Fire,Magnificent and Acrobat on this tour but that was just wishful thinking, roll on the 22nd

They really are, but they are also fantastic live and always get everyone going. For that reason I'm happy for them to stay!

True alright, I just think Until the End of the World and City of Blinding Lights are 2 crowd pleasers and so much better than Vertigo and Elevation but thats just my opinion

They will definitely release dribs and drabs and mostly in the week preceding the gig. No announcement just keep an eye on this thread and check randomly.

This happened for the 2015 gigs and I was sorted with 2 standing tickets a few days before. Hoping for the same again.

I know its a longshot but what are the chances of extra tickets been released for the U2 Croke Park gig??

If they do decide to release extra tickets will they announce it or will the tickets just randomly appear on Ticketmaster without any prior warning?

Anyone ever bought a ticket from the touts outside Croke Park? How risky???

I wouldn't buy one of those " print at home " tickets outside croke park, just asking to be ripped off, unless the seller wants to go into the stadium with you .

For the Sunday Twickenham gig, what time do people expect U2 to come on stage, and what time for Noel Gallagher? I'm hoping to run a track race in Gillingham at 3:30 that day (50 mins to London Victoria, trains every 30 mins) and just trying to figure out do I have enough time.

Noel will likely be on around 6:45 and say he plays for an hour or thereabouts will be off the stage around 8. I'd say U2 will then come on between 8:45 to 9 o'clock.

I haven't bought any but I have seen people getting 'duds' for GAA games before. Caveat emptor.

For a band with their huge back catalogue and the high cost of their tickets especially in the US they should be playing for at least 2 and a half hours.

The last tour they increased the length to two and a quarter hours but they have cut it back again.
They don't have a hectic schedule on this tour so I'm not sure why they have cut it back ,perhaps Bonos voice isnt up to it or Larrys back .

I don't agree. The last tour also had an intermission. Just cos they have rakes of albums doesn't mean they need to play all night.

Their age and health has to be taken into account too. Larry really puts it all in. Bono's hardly been kind to himself either.

I saw Radiohead on Tuesday for €100, and 2 hours 10 minutes got zero complaints.

Not sure why U2 should be expected to do any more. Older, bigger show.

Saying all that, with it being the only Irish date, I expect a few surprises and maybe the longest set of the tour.

They had no support act on the I&E tour and they have support on this tour so I imagine that may be a contributing factor to u2s short set. Still it will be speical too hear the entire Joshua Tree album

Only 4 weeks too go

That was actually the most songs they played in weeks, usually just 21.

There has been a few complaints about the gig length but 2 hours is more than enough IMO.

Quality over quantity please!
