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 ???

Same statement released for Springsteen. The reality couldnt have been further from the truth.

Yes, it seems the recording comes directly from the sound desk so it is someone counting them in. Makes sense when you think of it but not being in the music business I never thought of it before!

I was wondering the same about how many times it happens

There are U2 click tracks on youtube. Looks like Bono and Edge get counted in on everything.

They all do. Larry especially.
They have to do it and need it. All the synth tracks they use, they have to keep time with them, otherwise the show would be a mess

Most bands use click tracks these days anyways

People who queue for these gigs are a joke. Same people who queued outside HMV for a week before album releases back in the day !!

In fariness, it's not for me and obviously not for you, but it's a bit unfair to call them jokes.

they have an interest and are passionate about it so leave them off.

I've no doubt there is something you are equally passionate about and wouldn't interest other people. Would that give them the right to call you a joke?

Debating weather to splash out and get a ticket for Saturday on Seatwave.

I was at opening night in Vancouver and loved it.

Am I mad to spend 300 for one?

Jokes, that's my opinion. Life's too short to queue for five days to get front row

Hold tight, there will definitely be a drop ,mostly side stage and decent seats in the next day or two.
It's not looking like many standing tickets will be dropped though ,they released hardly any for Barcelona or Rome but lots of seats.
Berlin and London had big drops in all categories though.

You mean newly released ones? Where would they be announced? Not after standing tickets myself anyway, already done that

I'm not sure there will be.
Past 3 times they've played here, I picked up tickets on the drop on the Monday before the gig.
Also, they are only playing 1 night... and it's a Sat.
Demand is massive and even if there was a drop, it would be very minor.

Do you mean a drop in price or just a ticket drop, as in more tickets released.

More released on ticketmaster, but with no publicity.
Could be due to cancellations or apparently once the stage is setup (or final submission is made), the local fire officer can deem the standing limits.
I think the organizers always under estimate this figure, so they can then release more at last min.
That's what I remember hearing about last time.

There will be a drop ,it's inevitable.
Once the stage is up they will know what seats are to be added as side view and production holds.

Berlin and Barcelona were only one night ,big demand and they had drops .
Barcelona dropped seats on the Friday ,gig was on Tuesday.
Berlin dropped the day before as did London .
Rome dropped on the Wednesday before the Sat gig.
Of those gigs only Barcelona sold out the drops.

Extra tickets released by Ticketmaster

Just back on the queuing thing. IME there are always people that will queue early.

Most recently, there were people queuing the night before Robbie Williams. They were moved on just after 9pm and told to come back at 7am the morning of the gig which they did and from that time on people were allowed queue until gates opened.

There was a numbers system set up by those at the top of the queue so that people could leave for a toilet/shop run but not lose their place etc.

For anyone who has pitch tickets for this Saturday I'd imagine something similar will happen as it has done for every other big standing concert.
