U2 360° TOUR - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Tuesday, April 7, 2009:

With combined sales yesterday of over 450,000 tickets sold, U2 360° Tour has now surpassed an amazing 2.5 million tickets sold throughout Europe and North American since the tour was announced on March 9^th.

The response to the tour has been overwhelming as records continue to shatter as shows are put on sale. In Los Angeles, at 4:00 pm today, tour promoters Live Nation announced that the Rose Bowl performance was sold out at 90,000 tickets. This makes U2’s October 25^th performance both the fastest selling and the largest attended concert to play the Rose Bowl in history

Last Monday, when the first North American shows were put on sale, U2 360° Tour, presented by BlackBerry set the largest single day attendance records in New York (82,000 tickets sold), Boston (72,000 tickets sold) and Chicago (65,000 tickets sold). This morning continued the trend as a 2^nd and final New York Giant Stadium performance (Sept. 25^th) was an immediate sell-out bringing the total tickets sold at that venue to 164,000. In Washington sales quickly surpassed 60,000 tickets sold in the first few hours while the 2^nd Chicago concert (Sept 13th) sold an additional 60,000 tickets. Vancouver kept up the momentum with over 57,000 tickets sold. Along with the huge LA success, additional on-sales in Atlanta, Tampa and the second Boston performance brought today’s total ticket sales to over 450,000.

The European sales have also been record breaking. At Dublin’s Croke Park, 160,000 tickets for U2 360° Tour performances on July 24^th and 25^th sold out in just 40 minutes leading to the immediate announcement of a 3^rd and final event in that city. Sales in Gothenburg and Amsterdam were so brisk that 2^nd performances were added and sold out within hours of them going on sale. In Zagreb all previous sales records in that country were shattered with an unprecedented two sold out stadium events. U2’s tour opener in Barcelona sold out in 54 minutes becoming the fastest ever sold out show in the history of pop music in Spain with a second show subsequently added
