Mexico loves U2...they can't sell out a 40k seat stadium for the Stones but 260k for u2!!!!! Voodoo, I feel your humiliation..this is a sad day for your country!!!!
LOL my half bro, I don't give a fuck about the humiliation, all I want is mi tickets and the website is real slow
U2 is gonna sell at least 300,000 tickets (probably more as they are selling in minutes) while the Stones only 95,000, since the stones prices are only twice U2's, then the profit here will be bigger for U2, that's a fact.... but all I want is my tickets... |

nothing like popularity acheived by lesser bands (see U2, Steely Dan, The Eagles, The Animals, etc) |

BTW, one ticket to see the show with me is available at face value (plus charges plus platinum divided by four)!! |

Thankfully true fans such as you and I are not going down easy when it comes to gross ticket sales. I am proud of you and you deserve tickets that close up!!!!! |

£ = $1.76
Wembley tickets were
Pitch - £60 (front block), £150 and £90
Grandstand - £150 (lowest tier), £90 and £60 (highest tier)
£150 = $265
Some of the tickets in Sheffield and Cardiff were £40
The percentage of £150 tickets probably varies from venue to venue. Last tour the most expensive grandstand ticket for the stadium shows (Twickenham) was £80.

Life's not fair... the prices in Mexico City and Monterrey much more expensive than the UK!!!
These are the prices for Monterrey, ALL IN $ USD
GENERAL $36
ZONA DE GOL NORTE GENERAL $96
PREFERNTE, BUTACA, PLATEA TODAS GENERAL $240
VIPALCO GENERAL $272
BRONCE NUMERADO $300
PLATA NUMERADO $360
ORO NUMERADO $420
This counts the ticketbastard charge but NOT the SHIPPING charge and NOT the rs.com membership, that's why I paid $447 USD for one ticket |

I'm sure that the ratio of
Ticket cost
-----------------
Acquisition Power
Is the highest for Mexico, we're not a super country, even that some say we're in the top ten. Hope the Stones consider this! |
