- U2 Fan Survey 2012: Third Set of Results Available May 23, 2012The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs. As a reminder, the survey was open from April 5th through April 30th. We received completed responses from 3,530 fans in 79 countries this year, both of which are down from 2010. We think that's likely due to the band […]
- A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) May 22, 2012How would you like to have a wall in your house covered with perfectly framed U2 album cover art?

- The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
- Bono Pays One More Tribute to Steve Jobs May 22, 2012Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs. A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition. It looks like Bono’s contribution was recorded within the past week, but that’s just a guess. [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.Bono Pays […]

Well, not 8 weeks as reported here. And if Carter Alan in Boston meant Hawaii when he said “expect U.S. stadium dates,” then he was just teasing us all. Any hope for the other 3 weeks to show up in the continental U.S.? Looks doubtful.

“ETS Travel Packages and Vertigo ‘06
Some of you may have heard that ETS has recently ceased trading.
This is unfortunate news, but we can assure U2 fans who are affected by this that TNA and The Vertigo Tour will step in to honour the obligations made by ETS in relation to the newly revised Vertigo 2006 tour dates.
Arthur Fogel, speaking on behalf of TNA, told U2.Com: “While this is sad news, we hope to avoid disruption to U2 fans, and ETS’s previous commitments to parties, tickets and accommodation will be covered”
TNA are in possession of a list of all U2 fans affected by the closure of ETS and will be contacting those people directly.
Please email etsorders@tnadventure.com to see if you are on the list and someone from TNA will come back to you asap.”

I’m very happy to see that Japan got additional dates.
I know where I’m going.

All my money’s going on Dublin trips this year, but lord, I’d love to visit Japan, just for the food alone

I stand corrected.
Japan is the one that looks tempting to me too, but next year is Bowie year (I just know it), so I’ll hold out for that

Just to throw in a conspiracy theory… does this strike anyone as odd?
Three days between Brisbane and Sydney.
Five days between Sydney and Adelaide.
Five days between Melbourne and Auckland.
Four days lay over between second Tokyo date and third?
Another five days to shift everything to Hawaii?
As far as I know tour personnel gets paid during the days in between which would mean a lot of extra cost for just a couple of dates. I can’t really see U2 doing that, unless they’re preferring extra cost over extra work load or being able to pop back to Dublin once in a while (though that sounds close to undoable)

I am! Just not really an option for me right now… And god, don’t you start…. My friend’s been trying to talk me into Oz for a good half year now
Nevermind that I don’t like flying such long distances… It kind of makes me die a little

If that was the case, I would have had a lot of dead passengers by now. So far I only had one guy dying on me during a flight. Come on, it’s not that bad! A lot of people give in to their insane urge to go blasting through the skies for hours in a pressurized metal tube! It’s fun fun fun! (No, I know it’s hell on earth, but I’m trying to make a living here, ok?)

You haven’t convinced me yet flygirl
And to fling this back on topic… It’s one of the possible plausible explanations. Can think of a few others, but more dates is one of them (fliexibilty, avoiding mental breakdown, holidaying or spending time with family in between shos are some of the others).

I’m gonna bet no on another Hawaii – it wasn’t sold out before postponement, stadium configuration for the show is changing from baseball to football and its capacity for a show increased from around 35K to around 45-50K. All that, plus returns, means they will have approx. 10,000+ tickets to sell when they go back on sale. Pearl Jam’s presence WILL enable them to sell out the 9th, but I highly doubt they have the market to sell another 45K in tix for a second show, especially in the holiday run-up…
