U2 postpones ticket sales to ND, nation

Ticket sales for the upcoming U2 concert at Notre Dame are still postponed indefinitely, but the concert is not cancelled, according to Joe Sassano, the events manager for the Joyce Center.
"We are working with the U2 management to determine the new on-sale date. That has not yet been determined for our location," Sassano said.
Ticket sales, originally scheduled for this afternoon at the Joyce Center, were postponed after Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. The band is scheduled to play the Joyce Center on the Notre Dame campus Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Sassano said that other venues may have new on-sale dates rescheduled, but the U2 management is in contact with Notre Dame to determine an on-sale date that can be executed.
Other than the actual date of the sale, ticket distribution will go on unchanged. Students from Notre Dame, Saint Mary's and Holy Cross will still have the opportunity to buy tickets before they go on sale to the public. Joyce Center officials said they also still plan to implement the two-ticket lottery system in which all students who arrive on time to obtain the first ticket will then receive a second ticket that will contain a lottery number. One number will be chosen at random, and the student with the matching lottery ticket will then be first in line to buy a ticket to the show.
Ticket prices for the show will be $46 for general admission floor seats and $86 for assigned seats within the Joyce Center. Tickets sold during the student pre-sale and on the first day of the public sale will sell for cash only.
