Surely they jest?

Just seen tickets on sale for U2's next world tour in 2015, $2500hkd (205 pounds) a ticket!!!!!!

Surely they're not that desperate for the money.

A very nice bottle of wine.

I wouldn't go to see them even if they paid me £205.00

They have to do something to recoup the money they lost out from their last album when they gave it away to forced it upon everyone with an iTunes account.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Don't like them and certainly wouldn't pay that much, even if I did!

 

[MacB]

I know, I couldn't believe it, yet another thread with a title that gives no clue

I know, I couldn't believe it

U2?

 

[Accy cyclist]

If they were playing in my backyard i'd draw the curtains and put some ear plugs in!

 

[PaulSecteur]

I dunno... they give an album away and people moan. They charge to see them and people moan.

Seems like they cant do anything righr.

I'll second that.

Saw the Zooropa tour which was very good, wouldn't bother seeing them again unless a freebie

I'd pay it to see Bono fall off his bike.

Careful what you wish for, because the sad thing is,he'd probably take you up on that offer...then he'd send the money over to the Netherlands to avoid some tax and stick his bucket out, demanding that you give some money to a charity of his choosing.

Bit of a difference between giving an album away and forcing it onto people's devices 'cos they have an iTunes account.

I would love to see U2 Live, but for many people in my area, £205 is a weeks wage or at the least half a weeks wages.

I understand that the music industry has reversed & that now a band make much less from album sales & lot's from touring, but come on Bono & friends, you are all filthy rich, so why ?
