incidentally, whether at a Broadway theatre or an NFL stadium, it is standard practice for premium-priced tickets, if they have not sold, to be released at standard price quite close to the date of the event. I call it cheating but again, there are others who would call it Market Forces.
I just put a little edit on the last post to show the stage but for Giants Stadium they're seting it up endstage which I just don't get. There must be 10 Stadiums in a 30 mile radius they could do this in and not one in the center? Ehh I'm done moaning about these guys.
Now can I moan on about your best guess, approximation, on the Spring US tour announcement? Nothing official mind you ...just a carrot to dangle in front of this old horse!
Well, you know, my feelings about these megashows are on record already, so I'm not about to give 360 a resounding thumbs up. With The Radiators, I performed on the U2 Vertigo stage 4 years ago at Croke Park and was a little surprised to find these platforms seem a great deal more intimate to the performer than they do to the poor sod in Row ZZ. But that's probably the reason why the last time I watched, and enjoyed, a U2 show all the way through was at the (comparatively intimate) Madison Square Garden in 1987, when they tore the place apart with their sheer energy and power - a real five star gig. You won't find me watching U2, or any other act for that matter, through binoculars.
