Well, lets hope those fan club members who missed out on their priority tickets for the upcoming U2 tour because of technical hitches with the online booking service managed to get their orders sorted before Friday, because tickets for the band's
UK tour sold out almost as soon as they properly went on sale.
Commenting on the quick sell out, John Giddings, the band's
European tour promoter, told reporters: "I am staggered by the response. The demand is unprecedented."
Interestingly the band immediately announced they were adding an extra London date to their UK tour because of demand. Observant readers will remember the original U2 tour itinerary leaked on to the internet earlier this year already had that second Twickenham date in the schedule!
