I listened to "Sunday Bloody Sunday" while I was getting dressed today, then about 15 minutes later in the car, it was playing on the radio.

we ahve afeeling they are going to run about 75-100.. Hope not, but there are alot of big acts charging that much..

Duran tickets jsut went on sale here and those were about $75..

I only hope I have money when they go on sale....

U2 totally kicks Duran Duran's ass. They have no right charging the same amount. I think it's ridiculious how bigger equates to higher ticket prices. It can only go so far.

That being said, I will gladly pay $80 to see U2. I did last time.

Does anyone know who is opening? Last time it was No Doubt.

I wish I'd gone when No Doubt was opening. That would've been an awesome show.

It was pretty cool. Bonno sang that one song with lots of "hey"'s in it with them.

I would LOVE Snow Patrol. Good show, good show.

hopefully Clayton will beat the shit out of them if they even try and get any place close to his stage
then larry mullin will jam a drumstick up their ass and throw them off stage if they make it there past Adam Clayton
