Suscription to U2.com increases 25%

From 40$ to 50$.

Take your guess :
-Bono needs a new property in Dubai
-Edge found a few acres in Malibu to support his project
-Adam expands his gardens
-Larry needs a new toupet
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Haven't subscribed in at least two years.  This doesn't help.

I’d be curious to know the figures.

if someone is so hopelessly hooked on U2, 10 bucks is probably not going to do much damage. 

they probably looked at what they pulled off in Vegas and said to themselves, 'these suckers have a lot more juice we can squeeze'

If people on TalkU2 are generally not subscribers, WHO IS?

I can't imagine they have more than a few thousand subscribers. The only reason I ever subscribed was for guaranteed access to tickets, and that hasn't really been a thing for the last few years.

I know there might be a tour coming, but I can't imagine it's until 2026 at this point, and even then, I'll only subscribe if it SAVES me money on tickets.

Does anyone actually subscribe for content access? Doubt it.

I personally know 4 people who are members. And they’re not on this forum….

I would put the number in a ballpark between 25K-40k, worldwide.

I was a subscriber way back in the day - like 15 years ago - to get tickets. There was a gift to the subscribers that I never received. Seemed incompetent to be honest and kept me from ever considering it again. Just another nail in the coffin to my relationship with the band.

I havent visited U2.com since it was launched in 2000, i guess it was.  It had a cool timeline of the band you could scroll along.  Never went there for tickets cause I have never been to concerts.  Fuck them.

Subscribers are those that absolutely have to go to the concerts.   Multiple shows per tour.
