  1. Thanks again Asterix, I really don't understand why there was one rule for some countries and another rule for others, hopefully they let us order for multiple venues, seems ridiculous to do otherwise to me. I'm in the Midlands, so I'm within easy reach of most places in the UK, I'm taking a guess that there will not be many in the UK but that it's likely that Wembley and Manchester will be up there (in my dreams they come play a very cosy gig at the Civic in Wolves, as if!!), so I'm really hoping that I can get Manchester simply because it's a bit easier to travel. In theory I will do a date with my mum and swap the other 2 tickets for another date/venue which I will attend with my sister...that's the theory, so anyone who has is thinking they would like to do a Manchester gig and will have 2 surplus tix they would like to swap please keep me in mind, I'm happy with same venue different date (2 consecutive days with an overnight stop would be just awesome, a proper U2 holiday!), just getting my intentions out there Haha I had the same problem on 360, only I was the one carrying the baby, fortunately no more babies for me lol. I won't be going abroad, considered it, I'd love to, but it's just not really viable right now. But hey, you never know, I may win the lottery in the meantime and I certainly hope so, due to a rather unfortunate accident of being born 20 years to late (87 sadly, auspicious only in that I happened to be born the day JT was unleashed on the world!) I missed ZooTV which I'd give my right arm to see and my parents could not afford to take me on Elevation) I have missed a lot and am determined that my addiction shall not go unsatisfied as recompense!
  2. Is getting so unbelieveably excited about the tour, I just don't know what to do with myself!!!

      Thank god for 50,000 things to do before the tour, it's either that or pay for therapy! lol

      I know exactly what you mean!

  3. So I know I want to do at least 2 dates, I also have my mum and sister that want to do one each, but seen as my mum really isn't up for chasing and waiting around for a chance to get autographs they will probably do different dates. Can we also swap for dates instead of or as well as venues? Also, do we have a ball park figure on prices for GA, what are they usually? I'm getting my finances in order ready Sorry for all the questions, I want to be prepared, I had to miss 360, I really want to get the most out of this one!
  4. Thanks Asterix, I'm feeling a little nervous about the whole thing now! There is going to be much more pre-purchase planning than I thought. I'm all in favour of swap buddies then, might take some anxiety out of it for me lol, I'd really like to get to see 2
  5. Could somebody explain to me how all this, works, is there a reason everyone doesn't just buy tickets for all the gigs they want to go to? I've never bought tickets on pre-sale, so this is all new to me, is there an issue with the amount of time we have or something?
  6. No sign yet of my tshirt being shipped...what a surprise!

      I was kind of prepeared for a long wait, that's why I ordered it now, in the hopes that when they come back round in 2016 I might have it by then :P

  7. Anyone know where I can pick up latest Rolling Stone in the UK, can't find it

      has been a good few days in here, such fun sharing the excitement:D

      Yeah it is, I can't imagine what it must be like when the tours are over and ou have been left to digest it all and wait and see what happens in a few years time :o

  12. Great sneak peaks into Songs Of Experience on BBC Radio 6 with Lauren Lavern

  13. Watching the Wright Stuff on ch5 (uk) and Bono's apology has made an appearance, seems the apology is making almost as much of a stir as the release did, shame the media aren't reporting it accurately

      I think you're right, it's all the bashers expectations, I really don't think it would have done them any damage not to apologise. If any potential new fans have been alienated then an apology isn't going to change that

    3. Rhi_K

      Rhi_K

      To be honest, I don't really believe they are sorry, I'm sure they think all the fuss is as ridiculous as we do. I'm sure they were just looking after the wider public image, they didn't have to allow that question at all, but they did. Ever generous even to those that don't deserve it

      but hey, you notice they are making news again, clever move boys! ;)

  14. "Buttoning unbuttoning her cocoa dress, stopping and unstopping every cold caress" cannot get this lyric out of my head, so damned catchy

  15. My son comes downstairs (he should be asleep) "Mum I can't stop thinking about U2 songs, can we watch The Miracle Of Joey Ramone?" :D

      About the 12" mix of the crystal ballroom....doesn't the chorus remind you of the Rolling Stones ? Great Song, btw !

       

       

       

      Isn't the Wooh-oooh-chorus the exact one from the song "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones ?

       

  19. About to settle down to a night of U2 concerts with my sister, sharing the love <3

      Rhi_K

      Still no notice, It's supposed to be delivered Monday and they haven't even dispatched, aaahhhhh!!!!

  21. It's fun to speculate, keeps me busy until something real happens This sounds great, the chance to see an indoor and outdoor show, fab!
  22. Why oh why did I just read an appaulingly researched 'review' of SOI from The Independent? This is why I avoid this kind of thing. What happened to standards in journalism, if they can't get an album review right what the hell do they do to the important matters of the world!!
