My cousin told me it used to cost 50p to see them in the dandelion market in Dublin many a year ago. He refused to pay and snuck in as a kid and said they were rubbish...not too bad now
. The website had massive problems and Larry Mullen offered people refunds on the memebrship if they were unable to get tickets online. se letter:
Dear colombo75
This is not something that I would normally do, but I feel that I have
to do something to redress this situation.
There was a mess up in the way the tickets were distributed through
U2.com for the Vertigo pre-sale. Some of it was beyond our control, but
some of it wasn't.
I am now in the process of figuring out a way of distributing the
tickets for our intended return to North America in the fall. The only
fair way of doing this, is to give U2 Propaganda members, who are now
U2.com members, priority in the queue.
After that, people will be given priority in the order in which they joined.
Many people who joined U2.com and didn't get tickets are
understandably angry. They now have the option to get a full refund of
their subscription fee.
The idea that our long-time U2 fans and scalpers competed for U2
tickets through our own website is appalling to me. I want to apologise
to you who have suffered that.
If your U2.com pre-sale experience has left you disappointed, I hope
this will go some way towards reassuring you of our total commitment
to our audience.
Slainte
Larry.
By the way, a note to those so-called U2 fans who are quick to accuse
U2 of unseemly behaviour, I've only got two words for you...
I think it kept crashing for the Ireland date and my pals got tickets for us but they were dropped twice before just barely getting tickets.

ILoveTulips...as I mentioned, this is on Universal Record's France site, confirming the second date, tix on sale 4 March. All U2 fans know that u2.com is painfully slow to announce good information...
TOURNÉE MONDIALE
U2 lancera le premier volet de sa tournée mondiale "Vertigo//2005" à San Diego le 28 mars 2005. Avec le succès de son 11e album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, qui caracole toujours en tête des classements des meilleures ventes dans le monde entier, et plus de 8,5 millions de ventes depuis sa sortie en novembre dernier, "Vertigo//2005" promet d'être aussi passionnante que les triomphales tournées précédentes.
"Vertigo//2005" s'arrêtera dans 13 villes nord américaines avant de débarquer à Bruxelles le 10 juin pour une série de 24 villes européennes dont Paris, le 9 juillet au Stade de France et une date supplémentaire le 10 juillet, et Nice, le 5 août au Stade Charles Ehrmann / Palais Nikaïa.
