U2 Croke Park 2009 - all discussion, no ticket sales.

the show will be "in the round"

That's what they said on the Late Late Show last week.

as far as i know its at the end but its more square and fans can get in around it. but it aint exactly in the middle
see attachment

Poncherello

kinda defeats the whole purpose of the stage if its not in the middle of the pitch no ?
Where would people reckon the best place to watch it from the stands ?
At last one I was up very close to stage in Cusack Upper and didnt find it great

well i have a standing ticket for the first night. never been to a gig in croker so i dont know. i wish they just did a ten night stretch in the 02 or something. are we ever going to get to hear them indoors again or what?? sound is much better

They could do a month long residency in the O2.

indeed.
it doesnt always have to be a super huge outside show.i wish "bigger" bands realised this

Have the band travel to a handful of countries in one year by doing long residency stints or do loads of countries by doing a big ass stadium tour.

I know which one makes more sense to me.

indeed i agree the residency makes sense . they would sell out (as another poster says )the 02 for a month. they wouldnt have to ship the stage around the whole time and logistics etc. the tickets are the same price(britney is a hundred lids in the 02).they would cream it in and wouldnt be playing for flights etc.

its the same reason prince did 20 odd shows in the o2 in england.he figures if people like me enough they will come from anywhere to see me.his overheads are less and he milks it.

The site diagram on u2.com seems to have the stage pushed ever so slightly further away from The Hill than on Ticketmaster not much though.

is it something like the stage revolves or something?

Anyone know what seats in the lower Davin stand (section 317) would be like for the U2 concert in Croke Park? They seem to be the only ones to come available on ticketmaster every now and again which makes me suspicious about the quality of them.

Hi,

I am going to the Saturday gig (July 25th) and I am really looking forward to it !!

The only problem I have is that my seats are in block 432 row JJ

I searched google for hours and couldn't find exactly where my seats are.

I asked ticketmaster, they replied that blocks 4xx are behind blocks 3xx

But rows in blocks 3xx go from A to Z and then from AA to WW. Does that mean that blocks 4xx start *after* block 3xx row WW ? That would mean that there are a lot of rows (more than 100?) in the Lower section... I am not sure how this works

If anyone could help me, that would be very much appreciated

that stage is being built by the same crowd who build teh main stage for oxegen.... it looks like some monster...

Hi. I managed to get a couple of standing tickets at face value for U2 in Dublin on Monday 27th July. They costing me about 65 each. Does anyone know if this sounds right?

Standing tickets cost €59.80 according to Ticketmaster.

Plus about €6 ticketmaster fees if they were both online and yep €65 seems about right

if you go to ticketmaster and look at the seating plan for croke park for matches or anything there is a layout with all the section numbers, its fairly easy to locate your seats
