My mate told me they weren't actually on sale yet and from the U2 website:
08.10.2004
U2 To Tour in '05... But Don't Buy Tickets Yet!
Paul McGuinness has confirmed that U2 will tour next year but urged fans not to buy tickets until details are confirmed.
U2 manager Paul McGuinness today confirmed that the band will set out on a major tour next year but urged the band's fans not to part with any money for concert tickets until the tour details are confirmed.
An announcement is expected in the coming months. Some web sites are currently offering tickets for speculative dates.
"We are still very much in the planning stages of our tour for next year which will visit the US, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia, and the band is really looking forward to getting out on the road." said McGuinness today.
"As soon as we have finalised the plans, the tour will be announced on U2.Com as usual and purchase instructions will be clearly available. Nothing is confirmed until the official tour announcement, no tickets will be on sale until after this time."
U2's forthcoming album, 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb', will be released by Universal Island Records on 22nd November.
'Vertigo', the first single from the album, is currently Number 1 on the download chart and hits shops on 8th November.

Imagine that, a rock star with an ego! 
Seriously though I thought someone better stick up for them so here goes. I have seen them on several tours and some are better than others, but as far as stadium bands go they are hard to beat.
Unlike most of today's mass produced market focused garbage they are so big that they can basically do and say what they want which is why they change musical direction so often (which is more than welcome in today's sterile pop climate) and also why they offer forth their political views so readily.
Thing is you can try and rise above the politics and just enjoy the music and fortunately their music is still very very good which is amazing when you consider how long they have been in the business.
If, however, you find their political overtones too much then simply don't buy their music or tickets to their tours - I'm sure they will just about manage to get by without your hard earned cash
