I'm adding Fabio Altermann <perfecto@u2brasil.com> to our list, he's
part of U2 Brazil, and they've put together a great package deal for fans
traveling to the shows. Just take care of your own airfare, they take care
of the rest.
I have a few more questions/requests:
* Can someone send me the ticket price info for all the SA shows?
* Does anyone know approx how many tickets have been sold for each show,
and what the max number of tickets for each show is?
* Does anyone know of web sites for the stadiums, or ticket agencies?
Thanks,
Henry
