Boston: ellipse and seating chart?

[kapel]

Hi everyone!

I'm still trying to get tickets for either the 12/4 or 12/5 Boston shows (through Ebay.)

If I don't get GA; but seats; how can I still get close(and see Bono at least running by close)? Does anyone know how far (what sections) the ellipse reaches out into the arena? Does it go to, lets say, the middle of section 22; or even farther, like the middle of section 12?

If I get GA: Can anyone tell me how the "ellipse people" are selected; is it random/luck? And how early do you have to be there to get a good standing position (even if you're not in ellipse)?

Thanks so much for your help!!

The tip of the ellipse sits at about the aisle between loge 12 and 13 (loge 22/loge 1 aisle on the other side)
