Upon entering the arena a couple hours later, my ticket wouldn't scan. The autographs covered up the bar code.
No amount of trying to guess the 12-digit number did any good. I was stuck on the outside looking in, with a great souvenir and not much else. Well, I carefully stared at the digits I COULD read, and realized that only the last three digits were really covered by Bono's 'Bono.' So, the ticket guy and I worked and worked at the possible number combinations until--finally--the hand-held let me pass! I made it!

Were you in the "regular" GA line? I was in the U2.com line and I think I heard you telling people what happened! If that was you and it took a long time, I'm glad they let you go back to your spot in line. Boston's GA policies are so great.NHChris said:Adam got out of his Town Car and was most gracious. He signed just about everything. Then, Edge came walking down the ramp from the arena. he did the same. Finally, Bono was parked a hundred yards or so from the ramp--and those of us gathered--in his Black Expedition. We all saw him, and finally when the time was right he pulled onto the ramp and got out to hold & kiss children, sign posters, shake hands. I got my ticket signed by all three of them--more on that later. These guys were SO gracious. They made me proud to be a fan.
