They'd be great to see live.

 

[Bookie]

last time, we were all too young. we have waited a while for this. FUCK OATH TO U2.

Prices aren't looking too bad either.

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

I wonder how many ppl they will try and fit into Telstra? Maybe 20,000?

Oops, just read the article again. 50,000 each concert, that's a shitload of people.

I'd love to hear 50,000 people sing 'With or Without You'.

 

[SoulSearcher]

i think they are going to try to fit in a few more people than that

Me too! ah I can't wait!

 

[Bookie]

Wait, there are 80000 seats. Plus how much on the grass? 20000? Who cares. I hope I get a ticket and I hope it gets jam friggin packed, and I hope Bono pulls out the best Where the Streets have no name ever.

I want to run...

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

I don't think they'll seat people in the stands.

Referring to the Pepsi concert a couple of years ago, they put everyone on the grass.

They might use the stands on the side and put the stage at one end of the in goal areas. We'll find out in a week or so.

 

[OZGIRL86]

I wonder what their setlist will be

 

[Bookie]

Here we go people. Oh, fuck, i'm orgasming, but I just hope as hell that I get a friggin ticket.

They'll get 60,000 easy with that seating plan.

I'm still tossing up for either A reserve or general admission.

I wonder who is supporting them. Over in the States Kanye was.

 

[Bookie]

theyre gonna choose a local Aussie act, but theyre thinking over which.

I'll take a punt either Eskimo Joe or Grinspoon.

 

[Bookie]

as in you really have them already?

no its not a ludicrous suggestion as u2.com members can get em already.

or are you just saying you're really desparate now that eskimo joe or grinspoon will come along...

i wouldnt say grinspoon. i think theyd command an act of their own as opposed to opening for u2. emo joes a fair call. we'll have to wait and see,

 

[OZGIRL86]

i have my tickets

U2 tickets?

 

[Twig]

Telstra stadium gold member tickets m'boy.

Sorry to say, but all of A-reserve are sold out...before they are open to general public.
Remember though, i would expect the members to buy those tickets first, so whilst B is pretty similarly taken, good luck and god speed.... lets just hope they put on another concert, so many people could miss out.

 

[Bookie]

so you guys lining up or phoning/interneting up?

im going to my local ticketek.

 

[persephone]

Got my tickets. General admission standing. Lined up at 3am to get my tickets. Fun six hours too.

 

[Bookie]

D cats.

Maybe shouldve gone earlier than 8am.
