U2 Joshua Tree Tour 2017 / 2019 **No Ticket Sales**

PTH2009

Noel Gallagher and HFB will add to the day and to the ticket sales (a lot of Oasis fans might head to the gig now but theres a very good chance he might only do a very small number of oasis songs). Second time he actually supported at Croke Park (they supported the RHCP in 2012 and were quite good)

expecting both the fan club sales and next mondays allocation to sell out very quick, Production seats will prob be released in a few months time

All i want is 1 Hogan stand ticket

I saw them in Brussels for the 360 tour and it was fantastic!

Would like to see them in Amsterdam this time round. Already seen them in London.

thinking the same, but hard to get someone to mind kids when heading away for a weekend

Hi there ! Tomorrow there will be the pre-sale for U2 concert 2017. Are the fan clubs getting any benefit ? Are we getting any code or something for getting the tickets ?
Thanks

Fan club members get a code either for wednesday (redhill group) or Thursday for the (wires group)
redhill is the long term subscribers to U2, wires is recent subscribers

Mods can we have A dedicated Croke Park show thread and use this as the Tour thread (and fixing the title as its annoying some posters lol) ???

Bit mad how this is the one U2 tour that will tick all the boxes

Playing one of their best critical and selling albums in full, which means they'll be playing rarely heard and never before played songs, along with some of their biggest anthems

The sad thing is that Bono can no longer sing most of the songs on the album in the key they were recorded,his voice is no longer up to it sadly.

I hope that Bono doesn't use this tour as a platform to bash Donald Trump either ,Trump won the election ,fair and square ,its time to move on now.

Question, where does it say on the website about the split in pre-sales between the two groups?

You are better off sending a PM to the mods to fix the thread title.

Thats been the way for a lot of songs for 25 years. Pride for example has been played in a lower key since the Zoo TV tour.

Lots of bands do it. Singers voices get knackered singing in higher keys night after night.

It's another strange thing.

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

I think U2 have disappointed a lot of genuine fans today.They've just taken the first step towards heritage status.I was expecting the 'EXPERIENCE' part of the tour to be performed this year.

They've now postponed the new album due to 'recent world events'..What a cop out, considering the album is all but done.This is a major crisis of confidence from a band who are trying to gloss over it with a fairly lame marketing gimmick.

Springsteen and Pearl Jam are two acts who regularly incorporate whole albums into the middle of their set lists. U2 could easily have performed The Joshua Tree in addition to the new songs.That would have been unbelievable for real fans who've been expecting Songs of Experience to drop for months now.

I have to agree somewhat. I have seen every tour at least twice since 1987. I will be getting tickets for this tour but feel a bit disappointed that no new album for tour. JT is only 11 songs , average concert is about 22-23 songs. I cant wait to see them but I hope this is not the start of a greatest hits band like the rolling stones. The band have always been adamant they would not go down this road.

Who knows, they could easily play 4 new songs each night.

Personally I'd rather see this new show (and TJT in full for the first time ever) than a rehashed I+e tour which seemed likely.

Just after subscribing there. I assume I'm in the Thursday group for the presale? Can't find where it says what group I'm in.

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

Just log in and click on 'Account Info' in the drop down menu on your username.

It should give you your code and group over on left side of page. I'd imagine the Thursday group.

All great tunes of course, however, I do not think that there will be songs not from JT played during the JT set. I could be wrong but a tour of an album would be just the album and maybe a few other hits at the end for an encore. Hard to say but could one end up being disappointed at the lenght of the gig, 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.

I did get one. The regular subscribers are in the Wednesday group and the likes of me can't buy them til Thursday so regulars aren't affected by people like me subscribing.

It is probably worth the 50 bucks if it guarantees you a ticket or 4.
