this may be a stupid question. . . but does anyone know what the U2.com presale ticket coding is? I bought my tickets on ebay and just wanted to make sure they weren't U2.com presales.

Actually, my line is for 10/7, 10/8, 10/11 and 11/22. So you're 1 and 1A for 10/10.
An on a serious note. The Fan Club tickets for MSG say N-TYPE.

I have Fan-Club Tickets, but they do NOT say N-Type on them....what does that mean???
Now, I don't know if this is true, but if you have a Fan Club ticket, do you have a better chance at getting into the elipse?? Just wondering....

What time do you think people will start showing up for the saturday show? Also, for you people that are unofficially incharge of the line for the shows (can I call the next number in line???) how long do you think we can get out of line for: like if I need to run back to the place I'm staying for 20 minutes, or if I want to go get food at some point, will there be a revolt upon my return??? One more thing, I haven't been to a show on this leg: do they let the fan club line in first and then the regular peeps line, or is it just some mad rush/pushing and shoving from both lines at once? (And why isn't there a line for us former Propaganda subscribers... we don't get a magazine, we should at least get that!)
My Fan Club tickets for MSG say N-Type also.

I'm guessing it depends on the people around you in line. I know for a fact that my girlfriend and I are going to be switching off for about 2 hours to shower before the show, and I don't forsee any problems seeing as we'll have been there for awhile before we leave the line. If you need to hit the br or grab grub, I don't see why it's not ok. Maybe we SHOULD bring a clipboard & paper for the GA list.
As for the fan club line, I have no idea. I have read it's the same time (with the fanclub line being shorter & faster), but it's tough to tell. After Friday's show, we'll know for sure.

Some, I emphasize SOME, FAN GA's for the MSG shows have B-FAN on them. I had, at one point, four GA's for the 11/21 show, and one pair had N-TYPE and the other pair had B-FAN. (I traded one pair for the 11/22 GA's.)
My feeling is that B-FAN is applicable to those that purchased tix on the second day of presales, and the N-TYPE applies to the Propaganda members that purchased GA's on the first day of presales. I could be totally wrong about that though... And, I don't think there's a real difference as far as getting into the arena goes.

I know when I went to a show for Elevation (in Salt Lake City), there were 2 people kind of leading it, and they convinced the arena officials to follow their list. It was amazing. As for that time, it was a FRIDAY and I got there at 9am and was number 270! I thought that was crazy. I'm planning on just getting to MSG on saturday at 7ish (AM). Just curious to see what people think that have been at NY shows???
Hey, jpreece, please let us know about your GA line experience in this thread after the show so we can all be well-prepared.
Anyone plan on denoting their Interference involvement with a sign or symbol? Let's make it a friendly line

I'm so afraid to ask...but...I've got 2 fan club tickets paid for by my friend through my membership. The deal is he paid, I wait in line because he works all day and cannot take off. During Elevation people were really cool with letting me save and one spot in line for his arrival at 6:00. (it was the same scenario then). I get the feeling people won't be so accepting this time around. I don't want to experience GA without him, but I don't want to be all the way in the back...
Thoughts? Is this totally selfish?

Yeah...he usually works at night- the best he could do was switch shifts and work during the day...guess we'll see how it goes, I don't want to piss anyone off.

Find someone to stand with you until he comes, then, have that person excuse themselves for a few moments to "use the restroom" and have your real friend be the one that returns.
no one really knows what the GA line at MSG will be like.
in may the line was on 33rd street and at 12 noon, the time i got off the LIRR at penn station, the line had about 10 people in it. there was no GA line in the Garden's portico area.
we also don't know if the nypd will give people a hard time if they attempt to camp out over night.

Look what MSG finally posted:

This seems a little drastic. Are we supposed to pee in soda cans or something? And I also got an email back from MSG saying you could bring in "bags, backpacks or suitcase" as long as you are aware they are subject to search, but that contradicts this. Oh well, I guess I'll just bring my smallest bag possible and a printout of their email and tell them to let me in!

you can leave the line to pee... just tell the people you're next to first.

Google for "Stadiumpal" and there is your solution.
Violate a rule? I don't know about you, but I plan on being there before 8 am. I'll just keep walking around if I get bothered. Or, even more likely, play dumb. Not everyone with GA tickets is going to check the website; I'm imagining many will just show up.
Anyone still going to camp out?

Yeah, I don't know when I'm going to get there now. I'll be up at 6 studying for my stupid anatomy test either way. I don't see how they can't let us out of the line to get something to eat... although we shouldn't have to eat when we have the anticipation of U2 to tide us over
I pass through Penn at roughly 8:30 am tomorrow on my way to hell, er, work. I'm going to ask the folks in line what time they got there. I don't want to show up at 7:30 on my concert day to find out that security has let people line up already.
