Cape Town - New Block Of Tickets Just Announced for Previously Sold Out U2 Show!

Tickets go on sale Monday, Nov. 29th 09:00am

BIG Concerts and Live Nation announced today that a limited number of tickets at Cape Town Stadium will be made available starting Monday, November 29th at 09:00am.

With the Cape Town performance selling out just a couple of days after going on sale, the promoters by arrangement with the stadium and local authorities have secured a limited number of temporary seats on the upper tier of Cape Town stadium, which will be priced at R749.

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 an intimate 360ยบ experience for concertgoers. Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360 design, which affords an unobstructed view for the audience.

“To have an in-the-round transportable stadium production is something that the touring industry has been trying to figure out for some time. The extra capacity U2 360° gives us means that there are a large number, several thousand in fact, of low priced tickets at every show”, said U2 tour producer/promoter Arthur Fogel, CEO of Live Nation Global Touring.  “With its unique staging configuration, U2 360° has excellent sight-lines”.

The new block of tickets for the Cape Town performance on Friday, Feb. 18th will go on sale at 09:00am on Monday, November 29th through Computicket (www.computicket.com or the 083915800).

The South African dates are produced by Live Nation Global Touring in association with Big Concerts (a Live Nation partner).  The tour media partners are 94.7 Highveld Stereo, 94.5 KFM and MNET.
