Yes MJD, we do, but we also have 79 Britney threads, 104 Mariah threads, 68 Madonna threads, 47 Beyonce threads, about each album, each single, each tour, etc etc etc. There are probably threads about Britney broke a nail or Mariah went to the toilet.
Why not have a thread devoted to this U2 tour?

1 because mods have been trying as much as possible to lock multiple threads recently
2 because if we let this thread open then we would have to let threads about tours of every artists open as well, which will be awful!

Croke Park, Dublin, getting ready for the claw! The GAA have decided to remove all the turf as the Claw will be in situ for 12 days and the pitch is needed the weekend after the concerts for several championship matches - they have just 3 days in which to re-lay the sod.

I think U2 fans are now officially the 2nd most annoying fans in the world (behind Madonna's of course).

U2 360 will most likely become the highest grossing and highest attended tour in the history of the world by the time it finishes at the end of 2010. It is an understatement to say that it deserves its own thread.
Now people have a place to come to, to get the latest statistics, news, and other information on the tour. They don't have to go through all kinds of different information in the general U2 thread about the album. This way, its easier for people to quickly access the information their trying to get on the tour.
Putting it in the general U2 thread about the new album would be a way of hiding the tour information in a way, and I'm not surprised to see who advocated putting it there.

The reason why U2's grosses are higher this year than they would be if they scheduled a full 35 date UK/European tour, is because they're only hitting a select amount of markets...which strategically increases their demand. There are NO shows in Switzerland or the rest of Italy...so that increases Milan's demand. There are NO shows in Portugal or the rest of Spain, so that increases Barcelona's demand. And there are NO shows in Belgium, so that increases Paris' demand. Yet, NO ONE here has mentioned that.
And yes, I know there's going to be additional dates next year, but the fact is, is that you can insert just about any market on the 360 tour into the above scenario because that's the way Live Nation has scheduled nearly the ENTIRE 360 tour.
And btw, if you look closely at the capacities of the stadiums that U2 just performed in in Paris, Barcelona & Milan...only the Paris shows were technically sold out.

The first Barcelona show - the opener of the tour - was sold out in 52 minutes. I'm sure if there any free capacities they could have sold these tickets without problems.

Actually its not that simple. Lets consider a few key facts.
1. Vertigo Tour Europe had 32 shows total, POPMART had 31 shows, while just the first leg of U2 360 Europe has 24 shows. So even if your only going to compare just the European 1st leg to the entire Vertigo tour, your only looking at 25% less shows.
2. Next consider that the average attendance for each of those 24 shows is larger than the average attendance for each of the Vertigo shows do to the brand new stage design that allows full 360 seating in the venue. Its the first time any tour has done this in stadiums. Average attendance for Vertigo Europe was about 62,000 per show. Average attendance for U2 360 Europe after the first 6 shows is over 87,000 per show! So while the number of shows is 25% less, attendance per show is 40% higher.
3. The total Gross of Vertigo Europe was $155 million from 32 shows. The first 6 shows of the 1st leg of U2 360 Europe have already grossed 36% of that total figure.
4. What you fail to mention is that the current structure in terms of scheduling the tour is not something new. U2 did multiple legs of Europe back on ZOO TV, and have always done multiple legs of North America. The latest tours by the Rolling Stones and Madonna each did multiple legs of Europe, spaced out with other places visited in between those legs. Markets not visited on the 1st legs of the Rolling Stones and Madonna's previous tours were visited on the 2nd leg. So really, there is NO need to mention it.
| Quote: | | And yes, I know there's going to be additional dates next year, but the fact is, is that you can insert just about any market on the 360 tour into the above scenario because that's the way Live Nation has scheduled nearly the ENTIRE 360 tour. |
Your alleged claim for top concert draw in the world, Madonna, tours exactly the same way, as do the Rolling Stones and many other artist.
| Quote: | | And btw, if you look closely at the capacities of the stadiums that U2 just performed in in Paris, Barcelona & Milan...only the Paris shows were technically sold out. |
Each stadium show has seats that are not used because there are certain parts of the production that do block seats out. The number of seat kills you have in any particular stadium will vary because of the differences in size and shape of the structure. In addition, there are different laws in each venue governing the number of people that are actually allowed to be in the whole venue, as well as certain area's within the venue that impact what the maximum capacity for the show can be. Since these variables in each case are unknown, no one can say whether the maximum technical capacity was used or whether a reduced capacity was used. What is known is that Paris 1&2 soldout within hours of going on sale. Milan 1 soldout with hours as did Barcelona 1. Milan 2 was soldout after one week. Barcelona 2 soldout 48 hours before show time.
Regardless, U2 have set the attendance and gross records for all 3 venues with these performances and will likely be setting records in almost every venue the tour visits through 2010!

MJD, you have a problem with U2... That's a pity, but there are a lot of topics about MJ, Carey, and other. Please admit that a topic about the most important tour of these 20 years can exist.
These figures are amazing.................

Tickets were unavailable the day before the show and the day of the 2nd show.
