In April 2010, @U2 conducted a fan survey to learn who the majority of U2 fans are, what types of U2 events and/or music they have, whether they use the Internet for U2 related items and research, their thoughts on the band, and their thoughts on the albums, songs and tours.
This was the first survey conducted since November 2007. It had nearly 5,000 fan responses from 81 different countries.
The results may surprise you:
38 percent of U2 fans are between 30-39 years old. The second largest group–at 28 percent–were between the ages of 40-49.
72 percent of the fans own bootleg copies of U2 songs.
76 percent of them own all 16 of U2’s albums.
95 percent of fans think if Bono leaves, the other three should not continue as U2.
