More U2 dates sell out, shows added in two cities

Tickets to three more North American dates on U2 ’s upcoming Elevation Tour sold out over the weekend, bringing the total number of sold out shows to 34, according to promoter SFX Entertainment.

All seats for the band’s fourth and final appearance at Chicago’s United Center--which was added after tickets to three United Center shows sold out--were snapped up in less than an hour on Saturday (1/27), promoters said. Sellouts were also logged in Albany, N.Y., and Houston over the weekend.

Due to strong demand, new shows have been added in two markets. A second show was added to the band’s tour-opening run at the National Car Rental Center near Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Tickets to that March 26 show will go on sale on Friday (2/2).

Also, a fourth show has been added to the tour’s Boston run. Tickets to that June 9 appearance will go on sale on Saturday (2/3).

The addition of the fourth Boston show has required a change in the dates of U2’s Buffalo, N.Y., and Hartford, Conn., shows. The Buffalo performance, originally scheduled for June 3, will now take place at the HSBC Arena on May 31. Ticket on-sale information hadn’t been announced for the Buffalo show at press time.

The scheduled June 9 performance at Hartford's Civic Center will now take place on June 3. Tickets go on sale on Saturday (2/3).
