Would anyone possibly have a ticket for the special U2 train going from Belfast on Saturday, have one (got the last one online) but definately need one more.

Any help would be great.

The set list can vary from show to show, but they usually sing it.

They played Amsterdam last night, here is how they closed the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2spzZsPGrzA

Lets put it this way... there will be no problem getting tickets!!! e bay is flooded, have a mate with 2 sitting for the Monday, will be lucky to get half the price back that he paid!

I just had a look through the setlists so far, last night was IMHO definitely the best set list so far

Breathe is my favourite song from the album, good choice for opener, Beautiful Day, Elvation and Desire, great wee trio. They seem to be switching between Desire and Angel of Harlem. Desire is a far superior song of the two I think. Bad!!! I haven't heard it live in years, that would be a brucey bonus. The encore has been the exact same since the start.

It definitely is not a greatest hits set, of the new album, the one song that I am disappointed that they are not playing, is Stand Up Comedy. I thought that this song was made for Stadium Rock $:-\$ Come on lads, add it into the set

It was on the set the last time they played Croker.....highlight of the concert!!!

Not every night!!!!

First time I saw U2 was on the Zooropa tour, I haven't missed a tour since and that remains as the only time that I have seen them perform Bad

I know its a long shot but is anyone interested in one spare ticket I have for the Cusack Stand for the Monday night show? PM me if you are.

I've got 2 red zone tickets for friday night going, cost me 130 euro each and looking to recoup the cost after my mates let me down. If anyone is interested PM me.

Going to the Sat night gig, staying in Hotel in Portmarnock, anyone got any travel advice about getting in and out to Croke Park with the least hassle.

There is a train station which is a 10 - 15 min walk from the Hotel (Golf links that is it's further from Sands). That station has parking and you could get the train to Connelly and walk up. Depending on what you do after you could get the train straight home or stay in town a while and get a Nightlink bus to Portmarnock.

If you have loads of cash just get taxis.

Looking forward to the gigs and this morning I got sent two free tickets for the Monday night show. Was just heading to the Saturday night one.

Any weather forecasts. Seems to sunny with chance of the odd shower.

T Fearon · July 23, 2009, 11:53:23 AM

Right, who's going when? I'm there tomorrow night, dead handy as I've to pick my parents up after a family birthday party in Trim tomorrow night as well,otherwise I would have had to pay for their overnight hotel stay! It was a case of "Aw sure you needn't bother staying I'll pick you up on the way home!"

Trevor Hill · July 23, 2009, 12:18:29 PM

Going Friday and Saturday. Havent decided on Monday yet. There are loads of cheap tickets around, in fact I dont now why the hell I queued all night now.
