Wall built to block view of free U2 concert celebrating fall of Berlin Wall

haha epic fail indeed, though it's only fitting now, the accumulation of wealth is beyond anything now so not exactly suprising
Tickets to a free concert?
Often venues have limited capacity and tickets although free are distributed to only allow the ticketed individual in the venue.
Too funny... they should do what Chi-town did for Obama's election night rally and put up some screens so people can have a street party. They handled that one fairly well. More recently, Chicago had a grand opening of their Holocaust museum, and Bill Clinton spoke, and they went through this elaborate business of signing up online and waiting to be granted tickets, and then it turned out that the tickets were not even for entry to the opening ceremony by him, but rather one could stand outside in the winter on a rainy day and listen to it on speakers, because accessibility was limited to "VIPs" ....
Oh. I've always thought of free concerts in terms of Woodstock -- open air and who ever arrives first. Man, I'm getting old.

Lol. I take your point, but tempus fugit, as they say.
Agree completely with yg17, (and everyonbe else) it is indeed, an epic fail, but one which does not surprise me, unfortunately.
Cheers
Yes. Those outside of the wall should not be subject to the torture that is U2's music
MTV sucks, and U2 hasn't been good since Achtung Baby. If I lived in Berlin, I'd insist to be paid for putting up with them. That- or they could send Larry Mullen over to spend the night. That would be OK.

Achtung, as long as you're on the right side of the wall......baby.

How ridiculous. Brilliant irony though.
I keep noiticing that while Germany is very efficient, clever and organized, that it often comes with the price of complete control freakery, even over the most trivial things. My personal experience with this is limited but that's what I've heard and observed. Seems to fit in this situation.

Yeah I would consider myself lucky to be out the outside of that wall.
