U2 Tickets - Rebuilding A Crumbling Barrier

It was an attempt to separate barriers and create harmony between all

. Instead, MTV and U2 surrounded their celebration with yet another blockade. During the free, 20 minute concert that featured U2, Jay Z and others perform, celebrating two decades following the knocking down of the Berlin wall, there was another "wall" set up. Fans who weren't able to snag U2 tickets were once again caught between a separation - this time, one built by the media hounds that were celebrating such a momentous occasion. A 6.5 foot metal blockade prevented anyone without one of the 10,000 free tickets to hear, let alone see, the show. Though fans snagged all tickets within just three hours of selling, many fans still traveled to Berlin to see the show. "It's completely ridiculous that they are blocking the view," said Louis-Pierre Boily, who came without a pair of stubs. "I thought it was a free show, but MTV probably wants people to watch it on TV to get their ratings up."

Though fans were eager to tear down the tarp that supposedly secured fans and surrounding residents of the area, according to the local promoter, there came little luck. The temporary fence was met to ensure to safety of all patrons, whether inside the venue or out, but still fans weren't pleased with the ironic twist. The event was taped and broadcast during the network's European Music Awards, U2 fans weren't dissatisfied - especially as they picked up the Best Live Act Awards.

The popular Irish rock band has made an impact on the music scene for over three decades. U2's Paul "Bono" Hewson, Dave "The Edge" Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. have really had an effect on mainstream rock music. From creating a series of philanthropic events to musical innovations unlike any other, the group that has been prominent for years will continue its international impact. Even Quincy Jones, a legendary producer said to LiveDaily, "Their relevance transcends music-it's almost like its own belief system, which is probably why those four dudes have stayed together for so long." Credence Clearwater Revival drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford is equally as amazed with U2's lasting talent. "They have stayed viable at a very high level through the many changes in the industry over the years. They have given back so much to people in need, making a real difference in the lives of millions of people around the globe."

The group is gearing up for their latest project - the 2010 tour and their struggling musical, Spider Man. As the tour has high hopes for retaining U2's musical prowess, the Broadway stage musical that has music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge is falling short of typical U2 standards. However, with a new man on board - the entertainment powerhouse behind both the Rolling Stones and U2 Michael Cohl - things could be looking up for the financially distressed production. Reportedly on schedule, previews for the musical remain set in stone for February as is U2's concert schedule, where a full calendar can be viewed online; their North American concert tour pre-sales begin this week as they finalize dates for next summer.
