Gri, what I did was just convert the usual $100 high, $40 low that I've
been paying for tickets in other places. High of $100 for tickets right
by the B Stage in Toronto, $40 at the last minute in Perth.

I was still amazed that I got the Hyatt in Vancouver for C$129/night.
Talk about cheap.....of course the Hyatt Sao Paulo was R$299/night, which
is like $270 US.

Sunday is cancelled from what I understand. It was never 100% official,
and they've *supposedly* opted for Cape Town instead. Personally, the
concert is a bonus, I'm a bit tired of being a U2 groupie, I want to SEE
the places I'm going to. Like riding hippy busses across Australia. ;-)

Don't know, but I'd count on it. And yes, I'd line up 6-8 hours early and
be ready to run. Actually, that was the best part in Santiago. ;-)
