Today U2 in Madrid...

...and I haven't got tickets. Isn't it dramatic? 600 Euros one ticket. I cannot spend such money, and although I could it would be very expensive.

I think I am going to conform myself with the live concerts downloaded. Have you listened the Live from San Diego?, Fantastic!

Maybe Bono could meet me some another future time. This time I will stay in home. :biggrin: :cry:

I guess this is Bono's idea for helping the relief of third world debt.

Yeah, I think those people attendants to U2 concert are going to pay the third world debt instead of Bono itself.
