LMAO,Leigh and the clowns are clutching at straws.....

[Dissident]

Unless Footy Park is a possible venue ? *shrug*

Or maybe I should read the article first

[TroyGFC]

Yep it is at Footy park about March next year, can't wait!!!

[Dissident]

Well - that would be the reason for it there - the SANFL site is for the footy, and the function area, and catering and whatnot.

[MightyEagles]

I think it'll be on the 28th March.

Let's hope the plastic seats absorb sound better than the aluminium ones. The sound quality at the last U2 show there was appalling.

Here's a way to keep this thread relevant...hands up if you remember who Nobo's alter-ego MacPhisto called from onstage at the last U2 gig in Adelaide.

cornsey.

he had just married nicole...

[Rushby Hinds]

..and Cornesy has since admitted that he new the call was coming, even theough U2 "pretended" it was a surprise.


PS Great Gig!


PPS I presume this is general admission, why are the queues 100 people long in the city?


The last one didnt sell out, IIRC, and they were more popular then then now.

The band has sold out every show on this tour...tickest for adelaide gis almost sold out...Sydney sold it's 70'000 tickets in minutes this morning (see ninemsn) and Melbourne in an hour. gen admin seats are on the ground at aami or there is set seating in the outer. They are much bigger now that they were in 1993. It is going to be an awesome concert.

I thought that was common knowledge at the time.And his "fee" for participating in the phone call was an aussie rules football signed by U2.

[TroyGFC]

Yep I got my tickets today, the line ups at BASS where shocking but I went to rebel sport at 2pm no line up at all. Looking forward to it have already booked a few days off in juction with Bays Norwood game should be a great week of enjoyment.

[JK]

Glad you pointed that out Troy, I'd better get onto doing the same tomorrow ... Worked out the number of calls I made today in trying to get some tickets was over 1500 and still didn't get through good thing a few friends had more luck than I did!!

[Rushby Hinds]

Oops, so much for my call re plenty of time to buy tickets!

But the 1993 U2 was (is) WAY bigger in the music market then the 2005.


The first 4 or 5 years of the 90's were dominated by U2.

[Cooper]

I see what you are saying Borat however, outside Australia U2 is huge...even bigger than 93...In Europe, In the USA in Ireland. This album hasn't had the impact the others have had in the Australian Chart.

[Cooper]

Constance you had better try on line now (as of a few mintes ago you could still get through). Someone told me there were only 1500 gen admin seats as of 4pm. Boy am I glad I booked mine a week ago.

[JK]

Thanks Cooper, but I've got myself a ticket now so won't have to sit and re-dial for another couple of hours ... I heard that they only put half of the tickets on sale yesterday, but that the telephone/internet logjam was caused by the Vic tickets going on sale at the same time??

Anyways, I'm sorted and at peace with the world!

[Cooper]

Sold over 30'000 tickets to the Adelaide show yesterday accoring to the bands offficial site...The wouldn't release the official numbers but it looks like it is going to be a sell out. Were are you sitting Constance???

[JK]

Not exactly sure mate, all I know at this stage is it's Row E in the reserved seating area somewhere I think off to the side, which hopefully will at least be closer to a bar!

Yourself mate?

[TroyGFC]

I went General admission as you don't get to go on footypark oval often. Does anyone know what time gates will open?
