Default You may not like U2, but a few hundred million more like them than Beck.

Who many feel "Blows".

But, yes, service at your seat is killer.

I happend to like Beck and U2.

Shoot, there are people who like Hootie and the Blowfish.

Default Right. If I had that type of money, I'd be retired. It's not box seats, below box in club level

Still has food/drink service.

I have a bunch for Wed, and one (mistake) for Tues, hence the sale.

Really good seat. Right off Bono's right shoulder at the end of the stage.

Default U2 and the Stones make more money in three shows than Beck likely makes on a full tour.

Exactly. Largest two living Rock bands around.

Nobody touches them.

I've seen every U2 tour since 1987 at least once, all over the world. A few highlights

1987 - Joshua Tree at "Horizon"

1991 - Zoo TV at Tacoma Dome, Zoo TV in Stockhom, SW, Zoo TV in Munich, Germany

1997 - U2 at Soldier Field for Pop Mart ( Twice), At Candlestick Park

2001 - Elevation Tour at United Center

2005 - May - Vertigo at United Center Aug Vertigo at United Center

Default Cool. 105's not a box, though.

105's a lower section ticket (below the lower level boxes), opposite end of the stadium from the stage, stage left of center one section. Almost straight on, but a bit far away.

I sat in CenterPoint Properties box just above that (Secton 208) at the May concert. Nice and centered, but a bit far away.

Coolest thing about that concert was it being the one they made the tour DVD out of, as well as their "City of Blinding Light" video that runs all the time on MTV, etc.

My dad's company has a box in 312 and 234, but I didn't want to hit him up for them. Save the favor, since I had great seats.


Cheers.

Default I understand their universal following...

however, I still just don't care for their music...much less innovative than anything out there, and their inability to change bugs me...they haven't changed for decades, which leaves much to be desired in my book...

also, bono's ability to talk to a cardboard box for hours on end about nothing also bugs me...reminds me of someone I know...

Default Probably not...

yeah they make a crapload of money by touring...yeah they'll pull more than beck does...hell beck is even opening for the stones for a couple shows...

however, I would rather see a show in a place where the acoustics don't suck, and I'm not ten miles from the show...also, I'd rather not pay 100+ dollars for a crappy seat (which you shouldn't be sitting in)...

these shows sell out becuase people who don't like music go to them...sure there are real fans there, but it's also filled with a bunch of top 40 listening $hitheads who pay to see BIG name bands just so they can hear their most recent top 40 hit...

Default U2's inability to change? Are you serious? You think Joshua Tree sounds like Popmart?

Achtung Baby like How to dismantle and Atomic Bomb?

War like Zooropa?

The only thing consistant is Bono's voice and Edge's guitar.

Their look has changed as well. Watch any of their 80's, 90's and current concert vids and you'll see.

I find it ironic you compared Beck to U2 and then say US hasn't changed and Bono will speak to a box.

I have all of Beck's albums and feel he has changed far, far less (style is identical) and as for speaking to a cadboard box, Beck is infamous for being commander political.

Too each his own. There is no "right" answer. It's all about taste. But certainly more people find U2 of their taste than Beck.

You can guess at who attends the concerts (have you been?) and why they go, but you can't argue with album sales #'s, with which U2 blows Beck out of the water (not just historically, but by recent albums).

Facts aren't opinions. We can't like who we want, but we can't argue as to success, and success takes a vast following.

Cheers.
