U2's 360 Tour (presented by Blackberry) gives fans across Europe a chance to see the band in such cities as Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, London, Sheffield, Glasgow and Cardiff, before they head over to America.
American fans need not feel left out as they have dates booked for Atlanta, Charlottesville, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Norman, Phoenix, Tampa, Washington DC and Vancouver as well.
U2 - Legends of Rock Retire?
During the time tickets sold out there were rumours going round that this may be the band's final tour. Their drummer Larry Mullen Jr. wants the group to retire while they are still at the top. Larry beleives they are coming to the end of their career and that they should split while they are still one of the worlds most successful bands.
This may be even more reason why fans should make sure they don't miss this legendary tour.
No Tickets? No Worries
As usual with U2 tours most of the tickets sold out fast, leaving countless fans without tickets to their favourite venues. Presale tickets went on sale over a week before general sale, something which many fans feel annoyed about as they feel customers of sponsors are being given unfair, preferential treatment. However, this is often the way with big bands like this and it's something fans will just have to deal with.
For those who missed out, however, there are always still ways of getting their hands on tickets.
eBay is one of the cheapest ways of getting tickets for sold out events, but as always with such high demand, prices will have become elevated. The beauty of eBay, of course, is that buyers may get lucky and find a good deal. Potential buyers are advised to try and choose a time when less people will be bidding in order to avoid competition from other bidders.
Another popular method of buying tickets to sold out events such as this is through websites such as Seatwave who offer tickets from fans to fans. This basically means that those who were lucky enough to grab some tickets in the general or presale are selling them on, again at elevated prices.
Tickets at these sites tend to be more expensive that eBay, but come with the benefit of added security. Seatwave, for example, guarantees buyers tickets once they have paid. If the seller backs out or loses their tickets, then they will be forced to buy another set from someone else, which is a great thing for those worried about being scammed on sites such as eBay.
