War tour, I'd pay it! I'd rather not go now though, and fight through the crowds of MTVers. Damn them all.

My friends are going but I refuse to pay that much money. We saw them 10 times already since the Unforgettable Fire came out. I once spent $200.00 for front row with my girlfriend in 1988. That was so much money to us then. Seems like a deal now. ( it w

I love U2 but I just can't see myself spending that kind of money on a concert. My first concert back in '84 cost me less than $20.00 and that was to see Duran Duran in their prime. You can tell that I am aging becasue I tell my kids "when I was younger a

Not only are these tickets horribly inflated in price (Bono's got to pay for his hear weave and Prada slippers SOMEHOW, eh?), but fans are getting ripped off at the website. A forty dollar surcharge was supposed to "guarantee" U2 fans a crack at good tic

I too have shunned the $50 and up per ticket fee since the late 80's.
After Tele(Gouge)and Ticket(Shyster)reduced the chances of scoring a halfway decent seat to the same odds as shaking hands with the bandmembers in the parking lot, I've stuck to club g

I forgot about the Ticketmaster "service charges". You've got the "Building facility charge" of $3.00. That's for the cleaning and food staff. You've got the "Convenience Charge" of $11.00. That's the money you pay them for selling you the ticket. Ho
