I’m also really sorry for all the people who did not make it even into the arena. It’s cold there and waiting for hours is now fun.
This was a strange day for me and probably all other GA people with moving to seats several times and all the searching.
I’ve lots of more videos of different announcements but I think they’re not worth much to post.
The english announcement starts here: https://youtu.be/0GwEpUa… #U2ieTour
Here’s the final announcement of the cancelation inside the Globen arena todahttps://youtu.be/0GwEpUagPicc1 #U2ieTour
@jannice Just one night from Tues to Wed
@jannice just me
@1979Wolly no rooms available
@1979Wolly I’ll check.
Anyone can suggest a hotel for the extra night 22/23 and that can be reached well from Globen area?
@AIK1979 I think that’s not going to happen anyway. I’m checking to extend my stay one day at the moment …
@xsy524 Huh? Did you misread 1989 as 1998?
http://U2.com have published an announcement about the postponement: http://www.u2.com/news/t… #U2ieTour #U2
Here is our preliminary report on #U2ieTour Stockholm 3 postponement (will update as news comes to light): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
Bad thing is I can’t go on Tuesday as I flight back then. #U2ieTour
I allowed myself to pull of a poster with the old dates in the arena. Nobody cared #U2ieTour
Talking refunds now #U2ieTour http://t.co/82rc3kzOui
Leaving now #U2ieTour http://t.co/8XGDah0pFQ

atu2 “Safety is a priority, and I understand you’re upset.” - Venue Spokesperson in Stockholm #U2ieTour
If you need a laugh, here’s one. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/harr…
Announcements at venue “due to security breach” show will be RESCHEDULED to Tuesday 22/09. #U2ieTour #U2
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Stockholm Globen #3 #live #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
Rumour has it this show will be rescheduled to Tuesday, 22/09. Emphasis on RUMOUR. Awaiting official word. #U2ieTour #U2
@U2start Not true. 1997-05-29 Raleigh was cancelled: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
U2start News outlets report a man has been arrested outside, earlier tonight. The Globe has no curfew, but it getting really late. #U2ieTour
@Reina_de_Marte Not to my knowledge. Venue not in a residential area.
@Gabyerika Never this late. 1989-11-18 Sydney had bomb threat & venue evacuation - show went ahead.
magnolia61 If the doors open again and they play at 2300 they would have to open the show with 11 o Clock tick tock #U2ieTour @u2_se @u2gigs @U2start
Still waiting for seat ppl to come back in. That’s all GA ppl you see #U2ieTour http://t.co/JgmyHDw6lA
Unclear what is going to happen here. GA fans are in venue, thousands of seated fans outside. No news if/when #U2 will take stage. #U2ieTour
@StartAtlnfinity No, I think some shows on previous tours in southern Europe and Latin America have started around 10pm.
@U2First @U2_ultraviolet Still waiting to begin.
bibalukas U2 @GlobeArenas right now. We’re still waiting. #U2ieTOUR #U2Stockholm @u2 @u2gigs @atu2 moby.to/5cgsm2
U2start Police were looking for an armed man in his twenties, according to Swedish news outlet Expressen. #U2ieTour
U2start According to Aftonbladet this is related to a man entering arena with a gun claiming he was a police off duty (via @stybbe). #U2ieTour
Now we’ve been all searched again and back on the floor #U2ieTour
u2_se Venue security now searching the floor. #U2ieTour #Stockholm http://t.co/mk7KlkTCl7
Floor nearly empty soon #U2ieTour http://t.co/iWqvtssX44
Every jacket left on the floor is being checked at the moment #U2ieTour
It’s obvious now they search for something in the arena #U2ieTour
AIK1979 @u2gigs swedish newspaper now reports a threat against a certain person in the crowd is the reason for the evacuation.
u2_se Floor being emptied now. Overheard security talking about “a threat but no more information”. #U2ieTour #Stockholm http://t.co/BVgYOxy1C9
Here’s the Expressen’s report claiming there was a threat against a person in the arena, if you can read Swedish: http://www.expressen.se/…
U2start The Expressen in Sweden reports that there has been a “threat” to the arena. Police are looking for someone. #U2ieTour
Now where back on the floor #U2ieTour
Looks like we have to leave as well #U2ieTour http://t.co/f4biVV1LV4
@jeroenpolman The Nov 89 Sydney shows themselves had been rescheduled too - meant to be in Oct but the vocal issues delayed them.
All lighting guys get back down to the floor #U2ieTour
I just heard they’re issues with illegal tickets. We have to wait now. Hopefully it’s not cancelled …
I (Ax) am watching replay of Samoa vs US in #RWC2015 to fill time. They’re playing Vertigo. More #U2 at rugby than in Stockholm so far!
Summary: Ticket scanners failed at #U2ieTour Stockholm 3. Seated fans who already entered sent back outside. GA fans allowed to stay inside.
AIK1979 @u2gigs @u2_se soon 10000 people will try to get in at the same time. http://t.co/RBU9dQEO04
That 1989-11-18 Sydney show, incidentally, is the last show at which Streets was not played. Its usual spot filled by Gloria. #U2
Sending crowd back out reminds me of 1989-11-18 Sydney where whole crowd evacuated before show because of (fake) bomb threat. #U2ieTour #U2
Seats empty now #U2ieTour http://t.co/SzaBruZcUQ
u2_se Everyone in stand/seats ordered to exit arena and re-enter. Delay 1 hour but will happen. INSANE!! #U2ieTour #Stockholm
Everyone on seats has the go out and in again #U2ieTour
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Stockholm Globen #3 #live #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
Don’t think the band will start in any hurry. 1000s of people stranded outside the gates thanks to malfunctioning scanners. #U2ieTour #U2
@Born4Bliss Sounds like hardware at venue
@Born4Bliss seems to be a venue problem since about half the people are in.
@ynelissen We will once the show gets under way, which could be a while.
Massive mess with letting audience in. Announcement confirms #U2 taking stage delayed until scanning system problems resolved. #U2ieTour
Hi folks, Ax here with you for Stockholm 3. New Zealand avoided any surprises at the Rugby World Cup, but let’s hope U2 spring some. ;)
ErBoe @u2gigs @U2tour Problems with the scanning system tonight. U2 will wait until everyone is inside. expressen.se/noje/biljettka…
AIK1979 @u2gigs @u2_se the line outside the globe. People don’t get in because of technical difficulties. http://t.co/Rhz1UcgHA2
@DanaHFreeman @JeffReinhart77 that’s right.
GA floor now #U2ieTour http://t.co/0u45FGsea7
@Wazowski09 thank you :-)
RT @Wazowski09: @u2gigs and btw; thanks for doing an amazing job covering this gigs (all of you), I follow every show using your tweets
@Wazowski09 I think it’s removed when they’re up.
Network looks promising so check in for our mixlr later http://mixlr.com/u2gigs #U2ieTour
@Wazowski09 that’s for the lighting guys if they get lifted up to their position later.
@AIK1979 A23
@obaudin then you’re the only ones listening so far. IMO it’s really cool this way. I’m just in way to early since I don’t want to be close.
Inside Globen #U2ieTour http://t.co/ZPBwtp07e3
@wideawakedublin yes if network is ok later.
And I’m in. #U2ieTour

About one hour until gates open in Stockholm #U2ieTour http://t.co/Uq0B5j5O4G
AIK1979 @u2gigs I’m going in to the globe around 8.25. Park my ass 8.32 and show starts 8.35. Perfect..
Still no Belfast and Dublin dates on the shirts #U2ieTour http://t.co/BKcrO029On
.@U2Kite38 I’m not judging about it. I even like it more this way w/o the craziness seen in other places.
@bibalukas haha!
@bibalukas you’re not there ;-)
Gate 4. No comment. #U2ieTour http://t.co/wYxZc6bF9x
@GogmeUnited nope. No city shirt here.
31 people on the list at gate 9 #U2ieTour

@madfl3a it’s actually a few more people with check in every 2 hours. But still the shortest I’ve seen over the years.
u2_se Rumour: Bad to appear, not tonight but Monday. Fan supposedly met Dallas at ABBA museum, told setlists are decided. #U2ieTour #Stockholm
@AIK1979 I will :-)
What about some Swedish designer bulb on stage today? #U2ieTour http://t.co/oRO4L3fPut
Here’s a current photo of gate 4 queue in Stockholm #U2ieTour http://t.co/IP6v56Ze8A
@acrobat70 hope you had some luck now. I see tickets for all 4 Berlin shows now.
@U2tour well, I can do this for the rest of the day and videos as well ;-)
Looks like I had some effect turned on. Sorry. Will post another on later.
Stockholm 4 queue at gate 4 #U2ieTour http://t.co/l0BqsopCBq
Some people in the queue for Stockholm #3 already at Gate 9 #U2ieTour http://t.co/oa42VqZnZ7
@StartAtlnfinity Unchained Melody actually closed more often on Popmrt than WUDM, 22 times. 11 different songs closed on that tour.
@StartAtlnfinity Very rarely, actually. Only ended the concert 20 times in 93 shows. Played 22 times total on Popmart.
@Naomi_U2Sydney @StartAtlnfinity I think 40 is more hopeful, same with Walk On. But they certainly have a habit of sad closers!

@StartAtlnfinity ZooTV ended with Love Is Blindness, which was arguably just as sad as MOS
