Yeah, Lyra, the U2 schedule is weird. It's like a tour of the blue states. Which isn't intentional, I'm sure, but kind of funny. I can say that because they're coming to my blue state.
I'm going with the general admission tickets, because I've heard that's the way to go; the setup for this tour is supposed to be similar to the Elevation tour, with the second stage jutting out onto the floor. The expensive tickets? Not so great.
The whole pre-sale thing through U2.com is an insane mess, and online U2 fans are freaking the hell out. I've decided to save myself the annoyance and stress, and just buy a GA ticket. I'll get in line when I get there, and I'm okay with being at the back of the floor. As long as I'm there, I don't care.
Hey, Kate! CDs are on their way to you as of Saturday!
Sweet! Thanks, Alicia. Does anyone have a link to the U2 tour schedule? I can never afford to go, but I like to look anyway.

I hear that there's a third leg, in the fall with more NA dates.
And on U2log, there was a post saying that the leaked schedule, before the delay in announcing, had a lot more dates on it.
For Kate:
Tour schedule
Yeah, the leaked schedule had two Seattle dates. But there's a lot of gaps between the dates that are there now. I don't know how easy it would be to add more cities to this leg, but it seems like they might add second dates to cities that sell out quickly.
Go, Seattle! Gimme a second show! I have enough $$ for two GA tickets!
Thanks for the links. $49.50 for general admission? That's way less than I would have expected. Hmm...

Me too, Alicia. I remember feeling like I had a pretty good view when I saw them in '01, and I was on the floor then, so I plan to go by that. Plus, even the "cheap seats" seem pretty spendy to me.

So I've gathered from the LJ U2 community. I can see why people are upset, though. Isn't the deal that you pay $40, and you only get a $20 discount on two seats, and can only buy for one concert? For that, I'll take my chances with everyone else and keep my forty clams.
I missed PopMart because I was in college and poor. For Elevation, I forgot when tickets were going on sale and ended up paying an insane amount on eBay, rather than miss them again. I hope I can actually pay face value this time.
I saw Zoo, because I was actually living in a Major Market then, and I was underwhelmed.
My friend saw Elevation in Boston and loved it. Of course, Bono did suck on her fingers.

Did she have to pay extra?

What was underwhelming about it? I've always wished I was in a position to go to concerts then, but I was too young and too uncool.

This causes dueling reactions, here: "Ewwww, gross" and "Did she EVER WASH HER HAND again?"
