U2.com: Pre-Sale Tickets Gone In Minutes Yesterday's advance opportunity to buy tickets for six 'U2 Elevation 2001' shows proved an instant sell-out. Thousands of U2.COM members were able to snap up their places for the coming tour.

from u2log: At every stop on the 80-date tour, the floor seats will all be general admission -- no seats, standing room only.
