I have a feeling that the band might use today's chaos and the strength of selling four thousand tickets across London and Paris to justify a second LA gig.
Ive also noticed there is an ENTIRE month between the Paris show and the first European festival. I think the band will head back to USA at end of May for two or three weeks, touring once the album is out. Just a feeling.

i would imagine that while the band is in europe for the shows they will be doing the requisite tv and radio interviews. makes sense. as long as their traveling to places they might as well do shows and re-connect with fans.

Europe promo happens before a release, our media isnt interested once the release date has came and gone.
Historically, the band have always done TV and radio promo in Europe and UK in advance, and then in the US from release week onwards. Also singles are released here just in front of an album release, while in America you guys get them months before. Its crazy but it makes sense.
Its probably because our charts are sales based, while the Hot 100 is a mix of sales and airplay. A hit in the UK is a high debut chart position, while in the US longevity determines what a hit is.

there are now 80 tickets listed for sale on stubhub.com anywhere from $119-499. i almost think it would be better if the band had charged $100 or more for tickets. maybe that would have kept some of the scalpers away.

Could they might be getting tickets from Ticketmaster in advance? I think that too... it happens here in Italy too.... gigs sold out in the moment they come out, and insane prices on "those site".... IMO there's something behind... it's like impossible!! GRRRR!!!

Could they might be getting tickets from Ticketmaster in advance? ticketmaster just settled a lawsuit in the US recently. back in 2008 people were trying to buy tickets to multiple bruce springsteen shows in new jersey and they were directed by ticketmaster.com to secondary sites reselling tickets for well over face value. however, it came out later that tickets were still available even while people were being directed to the re-sale sights.

Interesting. Shady Ticketmaster is shady. Good luck everyone! I already have 4 devices to see which one goes through, I'm not letting any of those chances go!
