U2 on Tour: Where will you go?
« on: March 09, 2009, 04:03:06 PM »
Hey all.  Just wondering who out there will be going to what shows now that there's been an announcement of the first two legs?  Or if the answer is none, how about what cities you hope are added for next years legs?

For me I'm attempting to get to Barcelona and Dublin.  Toronto and New York are likely 'local' shows.  And BC is tempting being Canada...

That's a lot of shows...not sure how many I'll manage but it's where my sites are set...

BC would be the closest for me.  About to close on a house this month, so multiple shows this tour is highly unlikely.

Fed Ex Stadium!! 100,000 capacity. Home of the Redskins!! Me and P. Diddy gonna take a limo.  ;)

Charlottesville, VA., a good possibility for a 2nd show.

Chicago, though...man I want to go. My kind of town. Have a nephew there who's a cop. Get a police escort to Soldier's Field. What nostalgia to go there.

There won't be a 4th location unless it's Bankruptcy Court.  :D

I'll probably just end up seeing the LA shows.  Though I have family/friend in phoenix and that's nearby.

It'd be kind of fun to build a vacation around Berlin, but hmm.

If I have the time and money for any of them, probably MA (Gillette Stadium). I'd love to see them in Dublin, though.

80% chance I'll just see the LA shows. I'm waiting for the stage to come to life like a mechanical spider and start walking into the crowd. It's a new Cylon trick.

In all seriousness, wtf is up with the giant "blackberry" endorsement?

I think probably a Live Nation deal rather than a Principal Management one.  I wonder how much say the band actually has in tour sponsorship at this point?

Next up, the Songs of Ascent Tour brought to you by Viagra.  :)

Well I got my Dublin tickets in presale.  Guess I'm off to Europe.  :-)

Trevor in case you didn't see, there's a second Milan presale as well.  Just got an email today about it...

I found out today that the Giants Stadium (New York) shows are U2 & Muse!! I'm definitely going to one of those shows. If I can get the money together fast enough, I might try to snag one of the last VIP packages in Massachusetts as well.

Yeah, lucky east coasters... that'd be a killer combo.
