 why can't u2 play fed-ex field, or even go out and destroy rfk?
 
 i've been waiting for a band, perhaps pink floyd, to come around the town and show rfk off in style with one hell of a blow out show, before the thing gets torn down.  maybe even ac/dc . . . yeah!!

My father and I have been debating for years regarding whether Floyd will ever tour again. He says no... But I think there have been small bits of activity within the Floyd camp (Dave's solo gig from Meltdown; cooperation in the Dark Side Classic album series) that suggests a nail shouldn't be put in the coffin. I know they all still play their instruments! Would love to see them one more time in my life.

I did sign up but not to get tickets and as a longtime Propaganda subscriber, it wasn't $40 either.  There was deal because they owed us a few issues of the magazine.
 
 U2 have been pretty good in the past about hooking up their fans with free stuff.  The tickets are limited to two at an indoor show and four at an outdoor show per year.  I see them more often then that on tour, so the fee wouldn't be worth it.  I will say that for each of the shows in the past I have requested tickets for, I have been given tickets 100% of the time.

ok, sounds like it wouldn't be worth it as i too am planning on seeing them multiple times on this tour. thanks for the info!

Info re: the tour:
 
   A link from rolling stone
 
 U2 Postpone World Tour
 
 Family illness pushes back "Bomb" trek
 
 
 
 U2 have postponed their much-anticipated tour behind How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, originally scheduled to kick off March 1st in Miami. "All of the plans are in total flux," a source close to the band told Rolling Stone, citing a family illness as the reason for the change. Tour dates were to be announced and go on sale this month, but those plans have been delayed.
 The band, which is nominated for three Grammys for the single "Vertigo," still intends to play the February 13th awards ceremony in Los Angeles and to attend its induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 14th in New York. However, a new timeline for the tour has not been set.
 
 According to longtime tour designer Willie Williams, the tour's stage and video screens are in the process of being built. "We are developing some new technologies to deliver visual content," he told Rolling Stone.
 
 U2's last world tour, in support of All That You Can't Leave Behind, made them the top-grossing act of 2001.

It's very sad news actually, and I'm not talking about the tour being delayed.
