U2 360 Canadian Tour question

 

Hello I live in Toronto and wanted to buy 2 tickets for the U2 360 tour at the Rogers Center in July 2010 only thing is I have never been to their show and don't know what the layout is. I saw the seating chart but when I look for tickets online I see things like "Field GA 2" $98 a ticket im willing to spend that much but I don't know if its good. Is the GA floor area split up into sections?

 

Please if you have been to the show in Toronto before please shed some light on where the closest/best areas to be are. I will spend about $200ish if you know where to get tickets from.

I've been in 3 shows of the 360 Tour already. The best place to be is within the inner circle right in front of the stage, which holds a general admission ticket (GA).

It's the ticket with a price of CA $57.00 (General Admission standing on field)

 

Let me know if you need more advice.

[Dfit00]

No problem.

I have just watched "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years" - a gala concert from Madison Square Garden with great artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen and U2.

 

U2, Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen sang together the song "Because the night" followed by "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" which Bono sang together with Bruce Springsteen, then another song this time with Fergie and Will.I.Am (I didn't know the song) and then Beautiful Day. Wonderful.

You know, I wouldn't call any of those 3 stories as "breaking" stories, a breaking story is something which happens without warning, such as the plane landing on the river in new york, not something which is planned months in advance

I totally agree that the title of that "category" is somewhat misleading.

[HBK-79]

MTV wouldn't know a 'breaking story' if it hit them in the face.

[jenflor]

MTV wouldn't know a 'breaking story' if it hit them in the face.

 

MTV also wouldn't know music if it hit them in the face...

 

Haven't been in this thread in a while. :(

Anything new out about the next album?

[PolarMonkey]

oh, well......at least MTV got the "Best Live Act" one right. :P

 

but otherwise, they need a lesson on proper use of the English language in news reporting... :dozey:

[Black Rose]

MTV, isn't that the people who said that Rick Ashley is the greatest artist in the world ever?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:lol:!

 

MTV is a sellout.

EDGE TALKS NEW U2 ALBUM WITH HOT PRESS

 

It's been out for a couple weeks now, but we're just getting a chance to see the full text of Edge's December interview with Hot Press magazine. It's pretty lengthy and covers a lot of topics, but here are the pertinent parts relating to U2's plans for new music in 2010. Olaf Tyaransen is conducting the interview.

 

The last time we spoke, you mentioned the possibility of a new U2 album coming out before the end of the year. That's obviously not going to happen, but when can fans expect a new record?

 

We would like it to be sooner rather than later. We are working on some stuff that sounds amazing, but it's hard to say when it'll actually be done. Well, certainly I don't, and I know Bono doesn't want to leave too long of a gap between the last record and the next one.

 

What's the feel of the songs you're working on at the moment?

 

It's too early to say, but because the last record was an experiment writing with Brian [Eno] and Danny [Lanois] in that kind of free-flowing workshop, Bono and I -- we're really kind of songwriting in a much more formal way at the moment. We've got some stuff, more abstract stuff that we could put together as a release, but right now what's really intriguing me is plain, old-fashioned songwriting, and we have some amazing stuff.

 

How about the Spiderman musical? It's been reported that, thanks to the recession, it's run into problems. Is it going ahead?

 

Well, it's all ready to go. We're just waiting for the word that we can ... we've pretty much done our job. We're waiting for the word that our director, Julie Taymor, can get back and get into the theatre and start putting the show together. We're told it could be any day. We've got new producers involved: Michael Cohl is coming in, to become an additional producer. So they're busy working on raising finance and getting all that stuff in order. I'm really happy with the music and the script, and the cast that we have are fantastic, so I don't have any concerns, ultimately, but it's kind of frustrating that it's taking so long.

Thanks for the heads up Nancy, maybe this will be broadcasted somewhere online. :charming:

 

I found several pictures of the tour's plane, it's a rented MD-80, this type of aircraft is pretty much satisfactory for medium-haul flights. Along with all the perks that they have within, it's still a kickass plane for them.
