Late lunch/early dinner

 

[Carek1230]

That would be fun! I'm in....my sister and I that is.

 

[dizzy]

I'd love to go....once I get an air ticket to Portland.

I already got mine, and it's First Class!

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Whoohoo . . . I'm in!

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Wait, I still need a ticket . . . I guess I'll have to cough up another $300-400 for a GA

 

[Carek1230]

Yikes that is a bit steep for GA.

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Yikes that is a bit steep for GA.

Yeah, but I can't seem to find one for under $340 of a ticket "broker" website, and the bids are going through the roof on ebay Still not the worst I've seen for GA's. Remember when people were paying $1000+ to get on the floor at MSG during first leg? Yes . . . That's ONE ticket. I think the highest I saw was about $1200.

 

[Carek1230]

That's crazy, but I guess fans will pay or do anything and that's alright with me!

 

[teenie]

I'll be there.My husband and I got GA's before we knew we were going to have a baby in mid Nov. But we're planning on going anyhow
I usually see them in Northern California but I moved to Bend, Oregon last December and lucked out with the U2 tics! It worked out that I didnt get Oakland tickets as Im due at that time and with my luck Id go into labor as soon as the concert started..
Hi karmic!Hope to see some familiar faces

 

[Carek1230]

Awesome teenie! I'll be there. My sister lives in Portland so I'm flying up so we can go to the show and celebrate an early Christmas (and my 12/30 birthday) together. My sister flew down here to San Diego for the opening show, both of our first U2 tours so it's been quite the experience! We've meeting in Vegas for the 2 shows there.

I am from the Bay Area, Sunnyvale. Didn't get tix for Oakland or San Jose tho. I don't like visiting back there much, I'm a SoCal gal now!

Hope all goes well with the pregnancy & all.....you should be fine in GA. You'll have hubby there with you

Hmm . . . just got my ticket from the almighty Showtime Tickets. Its a TicketFast GA. Thanks, Showtime. $270 can't even buy me a regular ticket, LOL. Oh well . . .

 

[fah]

I need to book my hotel

 

[u2bonogirl]

I'll be in the GA line with my hubby
My pic is in the interferencers pics thread if anybody needs to know what I look like. hopefully I'll be close to the front of the GA line

 

[Carek1230]

I am hoping that the weather is not miserable.

 

[hotpepper]

It's usually damn cold. I'm from the Bay Area but have family in Portland. I spend a lot of days around Christmas in Portland freezing my butt off. Luckily (as you probably know) there are lots of good coffee places for the daytime and good bars for the night. Can't remember if you have GA or seats. Me. I've got seats. That GA line is going to get to know each well, keeping each other warm!

 

[Carek1230]

I've got seats. I am planning to dress warmly even for seats, I am coming from San Diego and used to live in the Bay Area, so I know how cold Portland can get! I am even wearing my Uggs on the plane!

 

[martha]

We're all going to freeze our asses off, aren't we?

 

[Carek1230]

We're all going to freeze our asses off, aren't we?

Yes, including these poor women

 

[u2bonogirl]

yes, we will most likely be freezing and wet in wintertime portland
But its true, coffee portland does have
And lots of strip clubs

 

[Carek1230]

strip clubs

 

[martha]

I wonder if the strip clubs serve coffee?
