I just got 4 for Cardiff.
I think the fact that most of their fans are at the age where seating is preferable now are baulking at the prices. Inc booking fee the cheapest seat is nearly a ton.

where you looking?
there going for silly money on ebay, ticketmaster abd stargreen are sold out
I thought U2 were one of the groups that wanted to help in the current 'credit crunch' and make tickets cheaper than normal. If they were cheaper I would have had a dabble. When you take everything else into consideration on the day like travel, food and drink it all adds up.

I think people who went with the internet route probably had the better approach. I was up at six this morning and queued for 2 hours in the cold, finally got into the shop at half eight (even though there were only fifteen people in front of me in the queue), half an hour after the tickets went on sale, only to be told they only had the €140 tickets left 
Luckily Dad had been on the internet in his nice warm house having only got up ten minutes before and was able to get tickets even having originally screwing everything up by having two browsers open (Aparently Ticketmaster doesn't like that anymore) so it was near half eight when he was buying them.
To make matters worse however, as I was just getting into the shop Dad was able to inform me that he had purchased four tickets at the €30 price range yet the actual Ticketmaster vendor had no tckets! Am raging at ticketmaster in general but am happy I've got a ticket.

all part of the show mate, he's a quite humble Christian guy if you read his books or books on him, what he does for Africa is far more than most men with his clout do, and i'm on about the behind the sceans stuff, not just organising but parting with his cash and spending time out there and doing the hands on dirty stuff too, a lot more than meets the eye with Bono.

You mean telling us average-wage-earning folks to hand over our cash to the third world while he himself lives in (probably several) castles and has his hat flown out on its own first-class seat when he forgets it? Not to mention the several-hundred-million pound fortune he is rather conspicuously NOT giving to the third world himself?
he gives plenty mate, just does not make a song and dance about it, read the facts and read books on him.
that's why celebrities do charity, it's not about giving all there money away it's about changing thought patterns and making people change. Using there influence. that's what live aid was all about. you clearly have no idea about how the world works. it would be like a rich father constantly bailing his kids out of a credit card debt when really he needs to teach them how to spend.
U2 are the biggest band in the world...? Based on what?yeah that's what made them the biggest band in the world mate
I think the Beatles beat U2 to every record going. Not bad for a band that was only around for 10 years, and split up 6 years before U2 even got together.
