At the 2005 Grammy Awards, Larry said something about not knowing if U2 would be able to tour at all during the year, and he apologized for problems with the ticket sales. What was that about?
The Vertigo Tour announcement was delayed a couple weeks. Rolling Stone broke the news and said it was due to a “family illness.” Hot Press later added that a member of Edge’s family was ill. There was speculation that the tour might be canceled, but instead it began about a month later than expected. When tickets went on sale, the presale for U2.com paid members was a disaster. Fans who paid for membership on the premise that they’d get “guaranteed priority booking” of concert tickets either didn’t get any tickets at all, or were only offered seats in the worst sections of the arenas. Larry eventually stepped in to fix the situation as best he could and the presale for later dates was much better. [M2] 15.
