Correction people about ticket prices. They were a hell of a lot cheaper than many others bands and musical artists if you were ready when the on-sale started.

The best tickets which are the general admission floors (you always have the potential to be in front rows with these tickets) were very affordable. We bought tickets for both the September 16th,17th shows at the Rogers Centre at exactly $57 a piece all-inclusive. No stupid Ticketmaster service charges or building fees added to the ticket price if you bought at the venue.

Second favorite band after Depeche Mode, admittedly they actually pull off even a much more passionate and crowd pleasing show than any other fucking band in the world. I've seen them 7 times already and can't wait to see them again!!!

She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

so fucking excited to be seeing them (for the first time) in sept.



question re: floor seats ... when do they usually open the doors and when is a good time to get there if you want to be near the stage?

Floor tix in Zagreb were $109...scored my 3 for $80 the day before the show.
Put into perspective, the avg Croatian salaray is $1000/month = $250/week. Slighly less than in CAN, no??
Thankfully i make more

LOL

Starts off with "Dobro večer Hrvatska....jeste dobro?!?"
---> "Good evening Croatia...how are you?!?"

I fuckin LOVE how they always make a point to truly KNOW about the country they're visiting...
even say a few words in the language

Can never get enough of Bono's little speeches of inspiration :

"The traditions that you have around here are so sacred, so special, so ancient, that need to be respected...
But the past is only to be respected so much..it's never to be respected more than
the present or the future.
You have a bright future here in the West Balkans...a sun-lit, bright, Mediterranean future..
You're just getting going! You're just getting started!"

OMG does that EVER set me on fire!
Goosebumps forEVER for this

Also never get tired of pulling a girl up on stage for a dance...
My 2nd fave U2 song

They usually open the doors @ 7pm, but the lineup for GAs starts early in the morning and wraps around the building throughout the day... i'll be there!!! lol

your GA tix are better than any seats you could have gotten for that concert, especially given that it's at the Rogers centre... trust me.
