    I'll be able to get the tickets tomorrow morning. Is it better to get hogan/cusack lower to get a better view?

    The view is going to be the least of your worries....Believe me

    Was there for Bruce. The sound wasn't that good. When he started telling stories it was hard to hear. That was the cusack - upper. What's the best area to get?

    Hogan lower sec 335-331
    Cusack lower sec 303-308

    I would not go for any Davin stand ticket, I imagine the upper stands would have a good view but the sound may be ****e

    The layout is weird for this with the wheelchair sections up a lot closer than it was for other concerts(located on both sides of pitch 1), it's normally down by the Davin stand

    The radio are saying tickets available from €34.50 (or something close to that)

    Saw the 360 tour in the upper Davin. Sound was great but couldn't see a fúcking thing.

    Seats up in the clouds I'd expect? Any seat at croker is a bad idea. Standing is the only way to go.

    The one and only time it's been good. And that was purely because of the way the band had the PA laid out

    I'd say about 20 tickets at that price, all in the nosebleeds and behind a pillar. They just like to be able to advertise it as 'prices starting from €34.50'

    Form a reply ticketmaster gave on twitter:

    Standing: €76 +s/c
    Upper Tier: €39.05-€110 +s/c
    Lower Tier: €76-€186 +s/c
    Note, prices can change up until tickets go on sale


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,788 ✭✭✭g0g


    OK stupid question here. Everyone who registers on U2 site guaranteed tickets? Or there is a limited pool to buy from? Put simply, if I join now would I be guaranteed pitch tickets if I want?


  • Registered Users Posts: 508 ✭✭✭JKerova1


    Hope to fcuk I get a decent ticket. Not worth it otherwise. Wish it was in the 3 arena again!

    Anybody buying tickets for the foreign shows? I was looking on the German ticketmaster and all the tickets are more expensive again, plus they charge 34 euro intl delivery!

    Anybody know what the Italian equivilant of ticketmaster is?

    Was thinking of buying 2 tickets for Amsterdam - I reckon that will be a great show


  • Registered Users Posts: 220 ✭✭eldest200


    I would stand but my dad doesn't like standing concerts. I'll probably end up getting cusack lower sec

    Saw the Vertigo tour in Rome and can't recommend it highly enough. The Italians are fúcking mental. Bono doing Pavarotti's bit in Miss Sarajevo remains one of my favourite gig moments ever.

    E110 for the upper tiers are not bad but you could be up really high and hear **** all, would not mind being in rows A-D in the upper though

    The fan club sales are through TM so its the same as the general sale, every person for themselves no guarantee of tickets

    Wonder is there a limit to the tickets available on presale...

    Would imagine there is,I had lower level pre sale on last tour and got no Dublin ticket in pre sale.

    I've no doubt there is a limit on the amount of presale tickets. Not everyone that has a presale code will get a ticket imo.

    4. But you can for example by two for Croker, one for Amsterdam and one for Paris...

    I'd feel a bit robbed if there is. I'm maybe a bit naive but surely if people miss out in the presale that means it's sold out and won't be going on general sale at all. Would be very unfair if people in the presale don't get tickets yet people pick them up on general sale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,050 ✭✭✭OU812


    I listen to a lot of American radio & they're going absolutely nuts for this tour over there. Every station I listen to is goiving away tickets, I'm hearing Joshua Tree tracks every hour including non single ones & B-sides

    It's reminding me a lot of this

    Reckon about 70% of the tickets will go on sale next Monday

    The fan club may have about a 10% allocation for the sales

    12% will go to sponsors/family and friends of the band

    About 10% to the premium ticket holders

    The remaining 8% or less will be held back and may go on sale at a later date eg production seats

    Are you basing it on anything concrete or just pure out of the ar$e figures?

    The pitch

    Seconded. Last seen U2 at Croke Park for the HTDAAB Tour, sat up in the Davin/Canal Stand, sound really spoiled it. Pitch is the only place to be. Even if standing for next to 5 hrs like I was for Bruce, makes it worth it.

    Sends a shiver down my spine every time i hear it, In my mind it is the greatest single performance by Bono, ever, I've seen them many many times.

    Only 10% in presale is obviously BS! Why would they bother doing that it at all if that was the case?

    That's still around 8,000 tickets. Its more than a token gesture.
