03.17.09U2 tickets: swaps vs the secondary marketGetting tickets for U2 concerts has always been a bit of a hassle, going all the way back to the mid-Eighties for some parts of Europe. Dutch fans may remember the riots in Rotterdam during the Joshua Tree ticket sales. Things haven't got easier in the age of the internet. You're not dealing with a score of fans queueing up outside a box office overnight, you're competing with the rest of the world. It helps to get organised. Buddy up with friends, use multiple computers, open multiple browsers, cross yourself, three hail Marys, you may get lucky. If you do, you ...

12.31.08I don’t mean to bug yaSo yeah, we're all new here. We promised we'd do something about our slacking and by golly, we have.

We hope you'll join us ...

07.12.05Berlin picture set by ~EI've just uploaded my pictures from Berlin, which I thought you might enjoy. A very awkward concert, with the news of the London bombings ringing in our ears. A beautiful setting, with a very strong history as well as Very moderate organisation, some rain, and very slippery and dangerous steps onto the pitch. Also the first concert I have attended where security actually told us to run onto the pitch. For me it was the first time with a new camera; a birthday gift to myself. I have only used it at this show so far, but am liking it a ...
