OK, two more for U2, looking out for a Milan 4 but otherwise this should be a wrap for eXPERIENCE & iNNOCENCE tickets...

July 1 - U2, NYC
October 15 - U2, Milan

NYC was a good value $112 seat in low seat Sec 110 (couple of seats from 109), and Milan was a 120 euro Sec B9, row 1, seat 1, pretty much identical to my Nassau ticket as far as location.

I am taking a pass on the Panorama Fest this year, not enough to entice in a year where I am already spending way too much for concerts. ;)

That should be my last ticket buy for the eiTour, unless the band does something crazy. :) My seat is another Row 1 front side stage on Adam's side for 120 euro, should be really enjoyable. Really looking forward to my Italy vacation overall, this will be a nice start.

Pearl Jam I got in this morning's Verified Fan sale. I am doing it as a runner, going out in the morning, heading back on a 1AM bus, I can sleep when I get home - Boston is expensive, it's Labor Day and it's not my favorite city anyway, so it will be a whirlwind. :)
