Were you contemplating staying home from the U2 360º show at the Georgia Dome Tuesday night, due to the expense?
How does a $30 ticket grab you?
On Monday afternoon, Live Nation released a fresh batch of cheap seats to the iconic Irish band’s show. Granted, the lower level tickets are behind the stage.
Explains the Live Nation folks in an email to Buzz Central: “With a cylindrical video system of interlocking LED panels, and a steel structure rising 150 feet from the floor over a massive stage with rotating bridges, the band has truly created a intimate 360º experience for concert goers. And with the production set and the show ready to lift off in Atlanta, tour promoters announced today that the sight lines are better than anticipated and a new block of lower level rear stage seats at $30.00 has just been released.”
The tickets are on sale now at www,livenation.com, the Georgia Dome Box Office or charge by phone at (800) 745-3000.

Following on from news that U2 will embark on an extensive worldwide tour, the design for the band’s “ambitious staging” has now been revealed. Bono and co. will play inside a towering structure nicknamed ‘The Claw’, with four legs and speakers mounted on each side.
According to a cover feature in the US Rolling Stone, the stage set was dreamed up by U2 ‘show director’ Willie Williams. ‘The Claw’ stands at 164 feet tall, which – crucially – is twice as high as the stage set used by that other world’s biggest band The Rolling Stones on their A Bigger Bang tour. “Theirs would fit underneath this one,” Williams bragged to the magazine. It’s unclear yet whether this is a stroke of genius or something of a sci-fi Spinal Tap, but you can’t say U2 aren’t trying.
