U2 Fan Club

U2 has set a new record in ticket sales. This record has simply thrilled the band’s ever increasing fan base and we are sure any fan of the band would be happier to hear this news. The band has successfully sold a collective of 650,000 tickets for their upcoming concert. To add more goodness to this already amazing news is the fact that the band has sold off all the 650, 000 tickets all under a time span of seven hours. Thus this socially active band has created an absolutely new record and is currently enjoying every moment of this new record that they haves set. The band U2 have completely swept off the record set by none other than Michael Jackson in the same category.

The band never gave time to the great Michael Jackson to celebrate his new record of ticket sales. He recently had a record with his London O2 residency. Jackson would surely had no reasons to celebrate since U2 who on Friday that is 20th of March successfully managed to shift a total of 650,000 tickets. This ticket sale was meant for their U2 360 tour. This record in ticket sales was achieved in a total of seven hours. This record is stupefying and stands at an average sale of 112 tickets per second.

The band later came to know about their success story regarding the ticket sales and the news that the band had collectively sold-out both the Croke Park shows was relayed to the band mates by Gerry Ryan who represents 2fm. U2 frontman Bono later commented that the entire situation was overwhelming and that the band would like to thank their strong fan base. Bono also added that the entire incident was a very big deal for the band. He also said that to be able to sell-out all the tickets within such a small san of time at the band’s hometown at such an incredible speed were simply unbelievable.

As per Gavin Friday of 2fm insecurity can be one’s best security and that’s what precisely 2fm is and they don’t take anything for granted. U2’s latest album topped the charts and was number one in a total of 31 countries. However, the album wasn’t number one in Finland which in turn got the company down.

Playing a concert in Dublin for the band wouldn’t even be a musical event it would be more like a tribal event or rather a sociological experiment just like a wedding is. The band is looking forward to this show and hopes that the strong fan base that they command in their hometown would surely support them. Coming back to Bono, he insists that U2360 would not be too much choreographed as it’s a rock concert. However the stage has been created in a way so that the band can get closer to the audience and the fans can also get to touch their favorite band. The ticket sales record adds another feather in U2’s illustrious cap.
