- 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? You could just have your favorite U2 albums on the wall or, like me, you could go all the way and put every U2 album on display in order — like this: That’s one of the [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) […]
- 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.

The last tour, tickets sold out within half an hour — and an hour after that, they were being resold on Ebay for despicable amounts. I missed out (no way was I going to sit in the nose-bleeds), and the Popmart tour I was too ill. *sigh* 1993, it’s been a looong time. If anyone can give me a tip how to get good seats, I’m all ears! It’ll be hard getting tix at 9am, I work for fascists (hrmm, I might be sick that day).
Rico – try a pre-sale.. sign up for a membership for U2.com ($50), or ticketek.com (free), or michael coppel presents (free), or live nation australia (free) and you should be able to get your hands on some tickets before they go on sale to the general public!
Ah, forgot about Live Nation, cheers Leprechaun! Vorsprung durch tchnik!
