    could do from 1-9 Oct but whatever dates they play and they suite me I'll try and go

    wasant too pushed a few weeks back but this will be a different show compared to the JT 2017 Tour and will have a much different setlist and U2 at home Is always speical no matter where they play

    tickets will be expensive I'm expecting though

    Pete the Vet is "playing" there on October 6th so that rules out that stretch.

    could 1/2/4/5 Oct

    you'd be amazed the speee crews have stages up and down. Soundchecks are down during the days normally

    That just leaves one day free in the middle of the 4 gigs. For the Innocence and Experience tour in 2015 the band always took at least a 2 day break after performing for 2 nights. i.e in the 3 arena they played 23, 24, 27 and 28 November. Assembling / disassembling the stage has nothing to do with that.

    The subscribers gift arrived this morning. For the money it cost them to make/post it is a waste of time. V poorly packaged aswell. Thumbs down from me.

    Is it the Joshua Tree vinyl? I still haven't received this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,752 ✭✭✭johnpatrick81


    I got mine too, to be honest better than I was expecting. Doubt I'll ever use them anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,512 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Are you guys receiving them this week? I was only thinking how I never received mine.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,752 ✭✭✭johnpatrick81


    Yup yesterday for me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,512 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Think I have the parent's address down as the delivery address. Will have to give a quick call home :-)

    Good to hear the subscribers gifts are arriving. What's the packaging like? My plan is to get the vinyl framed if its well presented.

    It’s a pretty uninspiring release.

    Finally got the vinyl singles collection (that was ordered last May), what's in the 2018 subscribers gift?

    (somewhat worried at winding up with two sets of the same thing.)

    Over a month later, still digging the album...Two in a row now.

    American Soul....Where is the Volcano part? I'm not hearing it at all

    Lots of rumours going around that the euro leg of the tour will be announced on Tuesday,and that presales will possibly start on Wednesday.

    That seems pretty damn sudden!
    Granted I hope your right! I can't wait to see the lads again, croke park last summer was EPIC! The new album should work very well live too!

    hope it's not announced so soon cause I knw tickets will cost a small fortune but on the other hand if it's next autumn it will be something to look forward too

    A really cynical move to put tickets on sale next week.
    Done no doubt to try and encourage people to resubscribe .
    January is one of the worst months to put tickets on sale ,people have no money after Christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    The rolling stones are also due to announce a tour with a rumoured Irish date pretty soon

    I'm aiming for a price 2 ticket for U2, not sure would I pay as much again for a band I've seen twice already

    wait and see I suppose

    Will be interesting to see the ticket prices ,will they try and charge ridiculous prices like they did in the US ?
    Probably, as they deliberately underplayed Europe last year ,a paltry 12 concerts.

    Only one of the US leg dates has sold out and a good few are struggling ,they will need to reduce the prices on tickets closer to the event like they did for the Joshua Tree tour in weaker markets.
    Decent seats will probably be over 200 euro .


  • Registered Users Posts: 344 ✭✭fennor72


    For the first time in over 25 years I'm not excited about the tour and I'm even contemplating not trying for tickets. The money racket involved in trying to get tickets is gone too far. I didn't renew my u2 subscription this year because I was only using it when a tour came around.
    I loved the last gigs in the three arena but having paid nearly 400 euros for 2 tickets to a very underwhelming Croke Park concert , with an ordinary, forgettable new album I don't know if they are worth it anymore.

    grand, at least that leaves 2 tickets in the pot for the rest of us to try for

    To me the only tickets that are worth the money are standing or some of the cheaper seats which have a slightly reduced view of the screen.
    The top price seats are a rip off .
    I'm not paying 200 euro to see anyone .

    I will go for standing and if I dont get them I will just wait till closer to the event and get one in a drop like 2015.

    Rumour that the pre sale for Europe will be a lottery...

    In other words, even if you are subscriber, you're not guaranteed a code..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,069 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    anyone get the ticket code you were supposed to get with buying the album yet?

    I know exactly what you mean. I feel like I'm 'signing off' with U2 and it's a sad feeling as they've brought me so much pleasure over the decades. But this is the first time I didn't buy the album, I gave up on the subscription stuff a good while ago and when the gigs come around I think I'll pass.

    I still hope they can come back with another really strong album before they're done though. Btw I disagree on the Croker gig, I thought it was amazing. If that's the last U2 gig I'll ever see then I'm happy with that :)

    To be fair the Croke Park gig was more of a disappointment caused by poor seats, terrible sound and drunk "fans". I had hoped the new album would bring back that great excitement a new tour brings.
    But I'm afraid a lot of brilliant songs will never be heard live again, replaced by new material off the new album. Sadly that's the way it goes

    Ah, reading your earlier post I was thinking this was the case and your poor review of the show had absolutely nothing to do with the band or musical performance! I was there too and the band played flawlessly and the sound in pitch 2 was perfect. An absolutely incredible show imo!

    I have had a similar experience at Springsteen in Croke Park a couple years back. Painfully annoying when that happens! Thankfully not the case with U2 last summer. I enjoyed every last second of it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 823 ✭✭✭q2xv9rjei4awgb


    Croke Park is known for it's bad sound

    Looks like the first euro date will be Madrid 20th September.We'll find out for sure tomorrow.

    Highly unlikely it will be the 20th and 21st as the venue is already booked by another artist for the 22nd.

    i'm sure Madrid has more than one venue?

    Dont think so ,its the Wizink arena they are rumoured to play.
    I suppose they could get the stage down and a new one up in time ,crews work very quickly nowadays.
    The venue has nothing on from Sept 7th to the 21st so they could indeed start the tour there ,plenty of time for rehearsals etc.
    Hope to God tickets aren't onsale this week...

    You couldnt really pick a worse time of the year to put tickets on sale ,the middle of January .
    Boys couldnt care less ,they dont care whose money they get as long as they get loads of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    will the Irish date be announced with the euro tour or will they do it separately later in the year ?? (I knw with the 2015 I&E tour they had to fix the stage to fit into the 3arena) ???

    yeah Jan is a balls of a time for a ticket sale but Last summers Croke Park show went on sale last Jan (time is flying by 😣😣)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,244 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    Some info coming out indicates Madrid will have tickets from € 45, € 90 for GA and € 225 for the most expensive seats.

    225 euro :mad:
    The vast majority of seats in the US were the top priced category and as a result only one venue has sold out .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    €225 holy ****
