[madonna's child]

Who's going to Philly!!!???

I am! What Interferencers are going to be there!!!???

 

[Moneypenny]

Since there's no DC date, I'm gonna try to make it to Philly...

 

[Lancemc]

I'm planning on getting Philly Tix. My plan is to get GA tickets and do the camping out thing early in the morning. Hopefully I'll get into the first couple rows!

 

[spirish]

Does anyone know how the GA line works in Philly?

 

[lauren430]

Almost the whole Octagon bar is going

 

[fredstab]

I'll be there 99% chance...I'll be coming from Montreal! Hope to see you!

 

[Mrs. Edge]

I'm going!

 

[U2girl91289]

Me too!

 

[Lancemc]

I got stuck with reserved seats, but that's the best I could do with the pre-sale. There's still a good chance a friend of ours can get GA tickets though, in which case I'll sell these ones and buy those from him. I really really hope I get GA!

 

[popmuzik99]

I'll be there. Managed to get 2 GA tickets
If anyone knows from the last tour, I would also like to know how the line works there.

 

[Moneypenny]

Got 2 GA tix this morning. I'm curious about the line too, as I'm not so much interested in camping out all night/day.

 

[U2girl91289]

Oh yeah, I got reserved seats in section 224- 7th row. Do you think that will be a good view of the band? Also- what hotels are around the Wachovia Center? Is it in a good neighborhood? Thanks!

 

[Mrs. Edge]

I have reserved seats....section 212 row 15. It will be kind of relaxing having seats and not worrying about the GA actually....

Yes, a fairly large-scale Philly gathering is already in the works, possibly gathering Interlanders from at least 5 U.S. States and 3 countries on 2 continents.

We are getting LOTS of tickets this weekend, so we may have extra available for trading purposes.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I hope to be there.

Me and a group of friends are flying in from Texas for the Philly show. We all have GA tickets and VERY interested in the campout idea, as we did in Dallas during the Elevation tour. Does anyone have any ideas how to get one started??? I've already read in this and other forums about organizing a campout, but there hasnt been ONE definitive plan, I know its early, but the earlier the better to get everyone interested in a campout on the same page and follow the same plan. Who's with me on this one!?

I'll be in Philly from out of town and no nothing about the area. I'd rather get some info about hotels and nightclubs from locals than from a web-site. Anyone out there willing to share some info?
Thanks,

I hope to be there.

You'd better!

Hey, can anyone tell em what's the wait like for the GA in Philly? The few of you who have GA ticks for the Wachovia Center, how early do you plan on getting to the arena to get a good spot on the floor?

 

[mkrieg]

I am sitting in Section 208 - are those good seats?

Another thing, I am so tired of these stupid posts from people complaining about every dam thing. The reason the tour was delayed is a family member of Edge's was ill. How cold-hearted are some of you? If your family member was very sick, would you worry about a fucking U2 presale. Cut them some slack and they will make the dates up in the Fall.

If you don't like the setlists, what they wear, what water they drink on stage, here is a word of advice - DON'T FUCKING COME! Stay home and watch reruns of Leave It to Beaver.

 

[DaRobRios]

We (group of friends) will get there as early as possible for the best position to the stage. I just dropped all kinds of cash to see U2 (i.e. airfare, GA tickets through a ticket broker...) so getting to Wachovia Center early the DAY BEFORE is something I know we're gonna do. We've done it before when we camped out for an Elevation show in Dallas the day before the concert and it could not have gone any smoother... there was a guy that was the first in line who had a black marker and simply wrote a number on your hand that corresponded to your place in line. He wasnt an employee or security guard of the venue, he was just a fan first in line. As far as the Wachovia show goes, are there campouts being done now for concerts? If so, how are they being done? And, does the venue management need to be contacted to give instruction or permission? I dont live in Philly and unaware of how things are done there. Can anyone out there find this out??
thanks

p.s. - I just subscribed to this forum, how do you chat with others in the forum?

 

[starsgoblue]

I got two GA's for Philly! I'm bringing my Mom to her first U2 show!!

I'll be meeting up with the rest of The Octogan and whoever else wants to see my mug!

Very excited!

 

[DaRobRios]

what is "The Octagon"??

 

[lauren430]

head over to Lemonade Stand and say hello; the Octagon Bar is a sort of random thread I guess you could say

We're very friendly over there

 

[skjuls]

I don't got tix yet but I will be in Philly!!

 

[achtung_zoo]

im going!!!

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I'm going to Philly show 2. I've never had GA for U2, so I'd love to meet someone to help my friend and I get into the egg.

Philly in May will be perfect weather--great for hanging out on South Street.

Where's everyone staying?

Maybe we can get together to carpool or share a cab--parking is something crazy like $12.


Is it May yet????

I am sitting in Section 208 - are those good seats?

HEY! I am in section 208 for the 5/14 show . . . they're crappy seats. . .

BUT. . . i have GA seats for the 5/22 show after laying down some serious cash on ebay. . . Who's GA on the 22nd???

 

[Mrs. Edge]

I would also like to know where people are staying...any suggestions?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I got a GA to Philly 1!

So expect to see me there.
