@Drea104 No, it was the second show in May ’05 when the band did that spontaneous Out Of Control. Oh for sets that good nowadays…!
@wxander At Melbourne 2, the woman in front of me was #30-or-so in the queue. Must’ve queued overnight. Yet I had a better view than her!
@wxander Yeah, 3rd row I could see all four band members (except Edge when he played keys). On the rail? No Larry, barely any Edge.
@Drea104 Hah, and I meant to say that said ’05 show was in Boston, and we all know how hyped U2-and-Boston are.
@Drea104 Admittedly, that was one of the ’05 shows with the ellipse lottery.
@Drea104 I wouldn’t say NA audiences are any more crazy (Europe yes). I got front rail, Edge’s side in ’05, and I arrived at 5pm.
@wxander Anywhere close! It’s so incredibly easy. Plus, being 3 rows back is better than being on the rail, since the stage is so high.
I suppose if you want that prime spot in the centre of the outer rail, it’s worth queuing, but most other good spots are easy to get.
After I got third row, Adam’s side by arriving at 5pm, I can’t figure out why anybody would queue from 5am.
Over 70 people in the queue for night one in Brisbane at 6am. #u2360brisbane
With the Brisbane GA queue shaded this time, hopefully nobody will get heatstroke like a few did in 2006. #u2360brisbane
@atu2 Reminds me of the tent they had for the queue in Auckland 2006 http://u2.gs/hZ :)

@Ana_Smith Will do! A second La Plata show is almost certain; there are even rumours there will be a third show.

Second show for Sao Paulo confirmed: http://u2.gs/hW
Second night for Sao Paulo added on 10 April 2011. Tickets go on sale 15 December 2010 http://u2.gs/hV
@atu2 We accidentally lit a fire under Adam, not Edge. The lead single now has a 3 minute long bsss solo.
@atu2 The U2gigs-produced U2 album will have a self-randomising song order to give listeners tracklist variety every listen!
@u2mofo Sounds so massively frustrating! They really need to improve their system…
Folks I know buying Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires tickets have been finding the website quite difficult/overloaded. Good luck, everybody!
@alljokesmustgo Yes! If they do SA and WA on the same tour, it’ll be for the first time since 1989. Sad huh.
OK, so apparently the Sao Paulo figures are just online and there is another on-sale at physical outlets..? Looks confusing.
Sao Paulo general sale was today, looks like it sold out in about 2 hours (via Victor P.). That’s quicker than Paul McCartney, I think.
Psst, notice that on Hamish & Andy’s show, Bono apologised to Adelaide for not going there this year and says they will next time.
Speaking of videos you may’ve missed from Melbourne, there’s also this from U2’s surprise Hamish & Andy appearance: http://u2.gs/hU
Some of you may have missed all the vids now up from Melbourne 2, so I just ran an article about them: http://u2.gs/hT #u2360melbourne
Article on Chile listing and Brazilian rumours: http://u2.gs/hS
Looks like U2.com already has listings ready for Sao Paulo 2 and Buenos Aires 2. Maybe Santiago will be announced same time as them?
Via @u2br, extra Sao Paulo gigs will be on 10 and 13 April (if demand requires). First show, of course, is on 9 April.
U2.com leaks another date, Santiago on 2011-03-25: http://u2.gs/hR (thanks Miora for the tip-off!)
