My 13th U2 gig, & it wasn’t one of the best. Set list was paced awfully, a cluster of hits to get the crowd going ‘I will follow’ & Gloria’ then when the crowd were peaking, they slow it right down. I love Achtung Baby, but felt the set list was a bit too heavy with it, when so many other great albums tracks could have got an airing. I hated the whole EU crap, not everyone shares your view Bono, we’ve come to have a good time, not to be preached at, or converted. Also didn’t like how some of the tracks were almost disco-fied, & jazzed up. Don’t mess with it - play em as they originally were. 6/10

With the 2 Manchester shows being so far off (Oct), I was surprised to get an email yesterday, advising me that my 2 pre-sale seated tickets for Oct 19th had been posted already. Normally it’s much closer to the event.

Would love to hear ‘Please’ LIVE again.

I’d love it to be him - it would allow time for the loo, & bar! ?

And also on the U2.com tour date page. Sadly, I don’t think my wallet will stretch to another night in Manchester - with ticket, & hotel

So glad I was able to get the tickets I wanted for Manchester, with the pre-sale last week. I’m also SO happy I don’t have to be part of the mad scramble, crashed phone & internet systems.

Would LOVE to see the brilliant local band, Slow Readers Club, support in their home town of Manchester. That would be gig heaven

Would be good - but unlikely, seeing as NGHFB will be in the middle of their own tour.

Saturday is still as possible as Thursday me thinks. Guess we’ll know if they are adding a 2nd datte, after tickets have gone on General Sake, on Friday. I’m personally thinking they are more likely to add more London dates, rather than Manchester ones. Who knows!

Agree with this - especially as I have a colleague who’s never been a member before, who signed up for a paid account at 9.55am on Friday, who still got a pre-sale code, & was able to buy ‘Innocence’ tickets at 10.00am.

Well said. They’ve more than helped me a time or two. Thanks a million guys. I do appreciate it lots.

Was telling a work friend at 9.50am this morning, that I was waiting to purchase U2 pre-sale tickets. He asked how I managed/was able to do that. I explained about being a paid member. By 9.55am, he’d signed up to this site, & managed to get a pre-sale code! He’s never been a member before. I was gobsmacked. Surely people shouldn’t be able to do that? I’m stunned it was possible.

Sure I read someplace that the show would be ‘in the round’ (middle of the Arena?) with a few smaller stages running off it. With a NEW video wall, with 9 times higher definition than the previous indoor screen on the i&e tour.

I doubt there will be any support act to be honest - same as on the i&e tour. It’ll just be be 2+hours of U2. IF there was to be a support act, I’d love it to be someone like James, Slow Readers Club, Starsailor, or Embrace!

I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time. At least you have some precious tickets in the bag! Enjoy mate
