Updated sale dates for three US shows

Evidently, that Live Nation press release about the final US sale dates was not entirely correct. Sales will not be happening quite as suddenly as they reported; they will be next week, not this week. U2.com have finally announced the remaining six shows (unsurprisingly still with no acknowledgement that they briefly displayed and then withdrew these dates on 9 March and left fans in uncertainty for nearly a month). Their article gives different on sale dates for Raleigh, Norman, and Las Vegas to those provided by Live Nation, and the Raleigh and Norman sale dates are substantiated by Ticketmaster listings. Las Vegas is not listed there as it will likely be sold by UNLV Tickets due to Sam Boyd Stadium's standard ticketing arrangements, but is not listed on their site yet either.

Note that the Houston, Dallas, and Glendale sale dates are unchanged. The correct sale dates, in brackets after each show and bolded if changed, are as follows:

· 2009-10-03 - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - Carter-Finley Stadium (17 April)
· 2009-10-12 - Arlington, Texas, USA - New Cowboys Stadium (20 April)
· 2009-10-14 - Houston, Texas, USA - Reliant Stadium (20 April)
· 2009-10-18 - Norman, Oklahoma, USA - Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium (17 April)
· 2009-10-20 - Glendale, Arizona, USA - University of Phoenix Stadium (20 April)
· 2009-10-23 - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - Sam Boyd Stadium (18 April)

U2.com also indicate that presales will take place next week. The presales for all six shows will follow the usual Tuesday-Thursday schedule, starting on Tuesday, 14 April.
