U2’s new coffee table book - "U2 by U2" - has hit stores and last Friday the lads showed up for a bookstore signing. Some fans who got shut out from meeting the band in person, are upset that some who did make it in were simply there for the autograph’s financial value. Autographed copies of the books showed up on eBay very shortly after the event.
In the past, the band has taken measures to limit concert ticket scalpers. However, this time a few memorabilia hawks beat the system. They’ll give it another go today, after their big night last night in New Orleans, when they hit the NYC Barnes and Noble @ Union Square.
A limited number of wristbands for entry will be available at Barnes and Noble’s Union Square store (33 E. 17th St. between Bway and Park Ave So.) beginning around 8 AM this morning. Wristbands will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please call the store at 212-253-0810 for additional information, and a sales rep at the store told me that around 150 people were already in line by 11:00 last night.
