The problem is people will pay those prices. They will get what the market will bear. When people stop buying, the prices will drop. The tickets should be $50 max. I'm not buying. I'll rent the inevitable DVD of the tour when it comes out.

Those prices are outrageous. I am sure they will sell out easily. There are plenty of people out there who will shell out any price to worship at the altar of almighty Bono. I think I will pay $25 instead and go see Gang of Four in May. Cheaper prices

$160.00 to see what will be the new Rolling Stones? I'll pass thanks. As others have said, if I get curious, I'll rent the DVD.

Nice to see there are others out there that occasionally say "me first" when spare cash hits their hands. To be honest, I'll

yah,
if U2 came to Albuquerque, I'd go see them, but I'd get those $ 49.00 tix. I don't have to sit close; I'd love to hear the music from wherever I sit/stand/dance!
