Today on my 42nd birthday I got up early to try and score some tickets to next year's U2 concert on Wednesday September 23rd in Brussels. I had already created an account on Proximus Go For Music because that was the only official site that Live Nation allowed to sell tickets. But as you can imagine I was not the only one on the net and logging in took ages. After struggling with passwords, usernames and Visa Card codes, I didn't even manage to get the front stage tickets which I wanted. In the end I settled for the "cheaper" tickets in the back, but they are promising a 360° show and from the pictures I saw it looks like you will even get a good view from behind the stage. Let's hope so.
I saw U2 live many many years ago, when they just scored their first big hits (Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day).
The U2 360° Tour is an ongoing worldwide concert tour by the Irish rock band U2. Launched in support of the group's 2009 album No Line on the Horizon, the tour will visit stadiums from 2009 through 2010, whereas the previous two tours, the Elevation Tour and the Vertigo Tour, featured indoor arenas. The U2 360° Tour is named after the 360-degree staging and audience configuration it uses for shows, which U2 claims is "the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure." In an era of declining CD sales, the tour is expected to be a major source of income for the band
