We may get a little break on the typical ransom, at least in the States.

From U2.com:
" Q. What are the extra charges on top of the ticket price?
A. In an unprecedented arrangement, U2.Com has secured for U2.Com Subscribers a significant reduction on the standard Ticketmaster.com convenience charge, which is levied on all ticket sales in North America - however this is limited to 10% of the capacity in each venue and this reduced levy will be allocated on a first come first served basis.In Europe standard charges will apply where applicable."

tonight...the goal...is ELEVATION!!!!!

SAN JOSE??? Why do people keep playing that venue?? The acoustics are terrible - it was built for fucking hockey, everything ends up sounding like you're throwing rocks into a tin can!

I'm still going

Here's a little factoid I found by accident online:

What happened to the giant lemon used during PopMart?

In an interview with Willie Williams in Q magazine in the Fall of 2002, Willie revealed that The PopMart Lemon is in pieces stored in three different warehouses in Belgium. The giant olive and toothpick were revealed to be in storage in Dublin. It had been previously revealed that the arch had been deconstructed and used to make up portions of the heart shaped stage during the Elevation tour.

"I SEE THE ARCH!" SassyB, 1997
