The highly acclaimed rock band U2 is the first band to announce a concert at TCF Bank Stadium, scheduled for Sunday, June 27, 2010.
The announcement Monday confirmed recent rumors that the Irish rock band would be adding a 2010 date in Stadium Village.
Season ticket holders to University of Minnesota athletic events will be able to purchase tickets in an Internet presale beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The presale opens to University students at noon and will last through Thursday.
Tickets will be available to the general public Saturday.
According to the University’s Web site, 10,000 tickets will be made available to students during the presale through Ticketmaster.
Each student is able to purchase up to two tickets using his or her student ID number.
Tickets are priced between $30 and $250.
On the European leg of last year’s tour, U2 guaranteed that at least 10,000 tickets at each venue would be sold at the lowest price range.
TCF Bank Stadium seats approximately 50,800 people at football games, and Associate Athletics Director Phil Esten said the capacity for concerts is expected to be around 58,000, roughly 8,000 of which will be general admission tickets on the field.
In order to prepare the field for 8,000 sets of dancing feet, a field cover system will be used to both protect the field and create a sturdier surface for concert goers.
TCF Bank Stadium does not sell alcohol at football games, and Esten said the University will not be considering making exceptions for other events like concerts.
Esten declined to comment on how much revenue the concert could generate for the University.
“The reason that we’re doing this concert and we’re excited about the concert has nothing to do with revenue,” he said. “It has to do with exposure and an opportunity for students to get to some other events in the stadium besides just football and bringing events like this not just to the campus community but the Twin Cities community.”
The band’s 2010 tour kicks off June 6 in Anaheim, Calif., for 13 dates in the United States and Canada before heading to Europe for the second leg of the tour.

Student ticket presale
I have not been able to figure out how to get the student ticket presale using my student ID# as stated in this article. I was told it was only for stadium season ticket holders. Is this true?
It was a great news for me
It was a great news for me because I am on forex.

I've been trying, and I can't
I've been trying, and I can't figure it out either, if that helps?
You need to put 'GOPHER' before your stdt ID#
for example
GOPHER5557777
no space, put gopher, then your 7 digit student ID#
boom you're in baby! go u2!!!!!
still not working for me
Are you supposed to put "gopher" than your id number into the presale password? cause if you are it's still not working for me.
Are we supposed to be buying them off of ticketmaster or some other website?
Really want to buy tickets : (
still not working. Did anyone figure it out? Does anyone know who I can contact about it?
I have been
I have been waiting for a million years for U2 to stage a concert in our country. To my dismay, it still hasn't happened yet. I love Bono and Edge. I think they're phenomenal. Even in the early 90's, I really thought they're one of those bands who will linger in the music industry for a very long time. They're contribution to the music industry is intangible. Plus, they never fail to give back to the environment. I hope they sing all their songs from the "Joshua Tree" album and I hope all university students don't miss out on this. I'm actually jealous.

Hey I have attend that event

By limiting the credit line
By limiting the credit line of one card to the greater of $500 or 20 percent of the student’s annual income and limiting the credit line from all credit cards to 30 percent of the annual income unless there is a co-signer Link building, the act aims to prevent debt later in students’ lives.
Bono And edge
I've been waiting for this decision. Hope I can still get tickets.
Bono and Edge are the greatest. so lucky for them to choose to tour here

I agree with this material.
I agree with this material. Good tips. I just want to add some tips from me, very basic. I think that the biggest problem with Weight Loss Diet is that people often do not continue doing exercises or keeping diet. It is very much in our brain. We would like to have it flat but it is hard to sacrifice for it. And even if one get it then often do not maintain it so after couple of months everything is as before.
nice
interesting article very informative.
thanks
