Nope not much of a greeny but I think what gets my goat is the way Bono harps on about what we all should be doing yet he should ask himself how much 'their' show is polluting the planet and the millions it costs to put on (which then loses money) could go to the starving
Which is exactly why one of my offspring walks around in a t-shirt with a picture of Bono and the word "Twät" printed underneath

Re: Deperately looking for U2 tickets for 11.9.10 Zurich

I love the Joshua Tree. Probably my fav album from U2 of all time. Rattle and Hum wasnt too bad but Zooropa wasnt really my cuppa tea.

Managed to get the second ticket earlier this morning, no need to clean any toilets *phew*

Its a beaaaautifulll day!!!

Re: Deperately looking for U2 tickets for 11.9.10 Zurich

I'm having second thought about going now. I was listening to 40 (from Live Under a Blood Red Sky) and imagining our hosts singing

How long......to sing this song?
Howwwwwwwww long..........tooooo sing this song?

You know, just like they ruin Happy Birthday (tooooo yoooooo).

I feel a bit sick now

Like I said, U2 are not the U2 I grew up with, but am happy to throw out my morals and ethics to catch a supershow spectacle once.
For me, I've heard it's a good show. I stopped listening to U2 after Joshua Tree. Though recently I bought How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and found it rather good.

I'd have loved to have seen them in the 80s. But I had no money then. And it was always difficult to get to gigs. Here in CH, I've enough cash for the tickets, and it's easy to get to the locations. So we've been going to many.

Re: Deperately looking for U2 tickets for 11.9.10 Zurich

i got in to the website but when i select the tickets and press proceed, then it says some or all of my selected tickets could not be put in the shopping basket.

probably sold out then, or did anyone else get this message?

Just keep trying ....

The whole process is asynchronous, so someone else got those just before you did.

hit the back button nd keep refreshing the same happened to me for the first tickets. It means you were not quick enough to get them in your basket before others. If it has sold out keep refreshing most of the day. Last Friday they kept adding more all day and we got ours early afternoon after refreshing since about 8 on several intervals

Good luck

Re: Deperately looking for U2 tickets for 11.9.10 Zurich

Still some tickets there. I just got some cheap seats behind the stage. No probs for me as I find that at these "event" shows the rear seats are sometimes as good as the mega price seats. Everyone ends up watching the video screens anyhow

Re: Deperately looking for U2 tickets for 11.9.10 Zurich

Got my two tickets at 08:30 this morning using Ticketcorner's Club Membership link. It still took me 30 minutes of refreshing, deleting history and general f@nnying about to get through. I wanted to go with my daughter, otherwise I'd have given it a skip as NotAllThere says, they didn't really play music I liked after the Joshua Tree and listening to Mr. Hewson's political rants during concerts gets on my t1ts. Still, it'll be an evening out on a rainy Sunday evening....
