Chicago Experiences Vertigo

By Scott Smith in Arts & Entertainment on Jan 25, 2005 2:48PM

Moe learned his lesson about keeping the Guinness tap at the ready when U2 visitedU2 will play the United Center May 7th and 9th as part of its Vertigo 2005 tour. Tickets are $49.50, $95, and $165 and go on sale at 10 AM this Saturday online at ticketmaster.com and at the United Center box office. The cheapest tickets will be the general admission floor seats (a.k.a. every person who bought Zooropa for themselves).

Tickets can be bought before the general sale date if you’re a paid member of U2.com but if you’re not already a member by now, you won’t be able to get in on the presale. The deadline for keeping out the bandwagon jumpers was yesterday (though if additional shows go on sale later for this tour you’ll be eligible for that).
