//// WHAT DOES TICKETMASTER KNOW? ////

@U2 reports:

"Here's another item to add to the current tour confusion: Ticketmaster is now listing a show for U2 at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, for the original March 1st date. Contrary to recent reports indicating the 1st leg of the U.S. tour would be pushed back a month due to family illness, this Ticketmaster listing has the show going on as originally reported, at 7:30 on Tuesday, March 1st. Ticket prices are listed at $49.50 to $160.00, with an eight ticket limit. A basic seating chart shows a return of the General Admission floor. (A quick check of the American Airlines Arena calendar shows nothing scheduled on this date.) Follow the link to see details. " Ticketmaster U2 Page

"The World Wide Web is the quickest way to inform the world, but it's also the quickest way to misinform the world," U2 agent John Giddings told Pollstar.
