Also the Omaha show (Warren Buffet) last year and the casino show in Uncasville were sort of corporate shows.

maybe there was a bit of sponsoring or something, but people still had to pay for their tickets and the shows grosssed over 1,5 million dollars.

Oh yeah I’m sure they did. I only meant to say that corporate connections got U2 to play there. Buffett invited them (and probably bought loads of tix for coworkers/friends) and the same goes for the casino.
Originally posted by ap5:Omaha was not Buffet related. Live Nation thought it would do well as a relatively ‘underserved’ Midwest market for U2. LN has seen solid success there with other classic rock acts in recent years - but it was still viewed as a ‘stretch’ market for U2. The ticket sales were a little disappointing but not entirely unexpected with neither a new hit album nor a reliance on a ‘greatest hits’ setlist.

Could be waiting a few years before they tour again by all accounts a long break is on the cards.
