Standing tickets are the best tickets so the fact that they are less than 40% of the cost of the top priced seats is deeply flawed.
while I agree with you that standing is best, a lot of people prefer the space and comfort that the seating option gives, so it is subjective.
€180+ is ridiculous. I feel that most tickets should be priced between the €70-€100 mark, be they seating or standing. Fair enough, pay extra for extra VIP privledges if you have it, but Joe blogs shouldn't be paying more than about €100 for any ticket. Fact is they so sell, so they price remains. I went to 3 IE shows buying 5 tickets myself so am quite relieved to hopefully end up getting them a bit cheaper this time :P
Unfortunately prices falls in line with demand. If you are a big band like U2, demand gets high, so you can charge more. If the expensive tickets didn't sell, then they would lower them.
It's no different to anything really. Price reflects demand, so what yo have to do as an artist is create a demand and then the price will set itself, and you will be roiling in it
I don't begrudge them at all, their prices are high, but they are priced in line with other artists and they sell out, so fair focks to them.0 -

After years of singing Streets in C#, he's now sang it in D over the last few tours.
Still haven't found....He's never been able to sing that in the original key
WOWY....He's always sang that in C#
Bullet...He sings in the original key
Running....The same
Exit....The same
One tree hill....The same
Trip Through Your Wires....The same
Red Hill....Don't know as they never performed it
Mothers...Should be alright.
In God's Country might be tricky for him but, that's about the only one I see him dropping the key on
Plus Bono does have the key to the city

That's generally how these things work.
I could live with that, plus I seen Noel Gallagher's HFB in Manchester, they were excellent, he sang a few Oasis songs including Whatever, so this could turn out to be an epic gig:D:D 0 -

He put on a really good show at EP this year, his gig will depend on how the crowd react to him, if the crowd are up for him (which i'd assume on a hopefully sunny evening with a couple of pints down then they would be) then it'll be decent.
Counting chickens before hatchin though, need to get tickets first..., quite surprised at the fact they're letting people buy tickets in blocks of 8, that's just not on anymore.0 -

cheapest are €76, and if ordering online there will be up to 6.85 on top of that. And those are the cheapest in the range, often a handful of crap seats, expect standing to be a higher price, and with the 6.85 on top.johnpatrick81 wrote: »€70! nice one! was expecting more!
these were prices for beyonce in croke park (not including the 6.85): Standing tickets (Sold Out) cost €104.00, Gold Circle (Sold Out) cost €114.00 and seats prices
range from €49.50 to €144
The 6.85 per ticket is a bargain :rolleyes:, just check out the satisfied customer over in consumer issues raving about them http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=102212190#post102212190
In past years people got them, I know several people who paid for this explicit & blatant touting/gouging "fan club" after signing up with days to goKaizersoze81 wrote: »Don't think you'll get a presale code if you subscribe after the tour is announced. Not fair on people who are regular subscribers
I have been to several "album" gigs of other bands and they always played plenty of extra songs, and these were in smaller venues with stricter time limits where you would expect shorter gig lengths.readytosnap wrote: »JT runs about 50 mins would expect them to stretch that out a bit make it at least an hour, then 30 minutes of Bono talking sh.ite and we're done.
ticket setup shown here
so standing seems to be split in 3, pitch 1, pitch 2 and red zone. The red zone are €315.00 + up to 6.85
"Seated Gold Hot Ticket" €314.50 (+6.85)
http://www.u2gigs.com/For regular tickets, prices in North America will range from $35 to $280, with slight variation between cities. On continental Europe, there will be similar minor variation between cities with prices around €40 to €180, with GA €75. In the UK, prices - which in this instance are inclusive of fees - range from £40.30 to £187, with GA £78.25.
There are also VIP packages. These too will vary slightly in price between shows, so I will use the Dublin prices. Like other recent tours, this one features a Red Zone, €315, with a portion of the costs going to the Red charity; ticketholders will have entry to their own zone close to the stage and the chance to be selected for a backstage tour. There will also be a Gold Hot Ticket, €314.50, with premium reserved seats in the stands, an exclusive item of merchandise, and a commemorative lanyard; a Silver Hot Ticket, €220.65, with similar benefits but seats slightly further from the front; and VIP Travel Experience Packages, €995-1,990, which include a reserved seat within the first 15 rows, 4-star hotel accommodation, shuttle to the show, a private catered pre-show reception, and the chance to be selected for a backstage tour.
Lanyard!!!
