Legendary Irish band U2 are to return to Portugal sometime in “2009 or
2010”, but tickets that are currently being promoted and sold on a
Dutch website for a U2 concert in Oporto in 2009 are a scam.

This was confirmed by the band’s representative in Portugal, Nuno
Braancamp, of agency Ritmos & Blues.

Ritmos & Blues is responsible for every U2 concert ever held in
Portugal, with the exception of a 1982 performance at the Vilar de
Mouros festival. Nuno Braancamp guaranteed the tickets that are being
sold on a Dutch website for two U2 concerts next year, in the Dragão
Stadium, Oporto, on August 11th and 12th are bogus.

“They’re fake.
It’s all a scam”, he said, reminding the public that the band
themselves warned fans not to purchase tickets before the official
confirmation of the upcoming tour dates was announced. He further
stressed that should the band return to Portugal it would be highly
unlikely they would ever play in Oporto. “It will always be in Lisbon
and for Portugal it does not make sense to hold more than one
concert”. On the Dutch website tickets for the Oporto concert are
being sold at €239.

Braancamp believes U2 will not be back to Portugal
before 2010, as the editing of their new album has been postponed
until next year.
