U2 Tour 2009 to use a full 360 stage at one end of Giants stadium here is the offical seating chart





The stage will be wide open down one end the the stadium and it will turn a full 360 during the show, the tickets behind stage should be some of the best seats in the house according to Tom Wilson VP of ticketing site Tixx.com

Tixx.com has been selling tickets for U2 since the early 90's online and will have tickets for sale in all cities in the USA & Canada



U2 has booked a Sept. 24 concert at Giants Stadium as part of its upcoming 360 Degree Tour.

The title of the tour refers to its staging. The band will be able to be seen from all sides, though the stage won't be exactly in the middle of the stadiums, but toward one side or another. Lights, video screens and speakers will hover above the musicians, held up by four structures that look like giant insect legs, and function somewhat like poles in a tent.

"We've been talking about it for years, and this is the time we're going to do it," the band's manager Paul McGuinness told the Irish magazine, Hot Press. "It will be necessary to tell people a bit about the production before the tickets go on sale because otherwise they're going to say, 'Hold on, that seat is behind the stage.' Now, it's not behind the stage. There is no behind."

The tour begins June 30 in Barcelona, and stays in Europe through Aug. 22. Besides the Meadowlands show there are only three confirmed North American dates: Sept. 12 at Soldier Field in Chicago; Sept. 16 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto; and Sept. 20 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The band is planning to continue touring in North America through October, though.

Ticket information was not immediately available.
