The interest will be donated to charity as we demanded. It has been a long and draining road to pull this off but the outcome is finally secured. I am going to rest now and track the funds to ensure the money reaches the right hands.

Michael Coppel is sitting on $56m in ticket sales from the postponed NZ and Australian U2 Concerts. The interest accrued between March 2006 and when U2 play in November 2006 will be approx. $3.8m. I am petitioning to have the accrued interest donated to charity.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it proves how many people feel the same frustration I do. It has been a long road to get people to pay attention to this money. I am exhausted by the silence from the other side, but I am not walking away from this.

U2 would probably prefer the money helped people anyway. Totally agree with this.

Ridiculous. No reason why a promoter needs an extra 3.8 million just for holding on to our cash. Donate it.

Keepin that money is just plain greedy. Give it to children in need or find a better use for it.

Fair is fair. This should be going to charity instead of sitting in some corporate bank account.

WHAT A JOKE. Give it back to the fans or charity. Not the bank.

Hope they do the right thing. Interest on that much money is crazy.
