A few months back U2 were due to tour Australia, New Zealand and Japan but due to some circumstances had to postpone those dates. Back in July the rearranged dates were announced and earlier this month a new date was announced for Sydney on 13th November.

The tickets for that new date went on sale on Friday morning Sydney time, and here in the UK I was sat up into the early hours attempting to get one. It took about 30 minutes and i’m now the happy owner of a ticket to see a gig i’ve wanted to see for years! To make that even better I get to see them in Sydney in the former olympic stadium.

The first two shows sold out in a couple of hours when they originally released. At the time of writing there are still some left for this new gig.
