random ticket beep egg selection

[bonosleftone]

Does anyone knows how many people fit in the whole floor? I want to calculate the chances of getting in

I love this random thing, I know it pisses off alot of die hards, but I have a life outside of U2 and can't commit to hours in line for a good floor spot. I'd like to know that I can have some dinner and drinks with my girl before the show and still have a chance to see the band close up. I'd rather be on the outside and close to the tip of the oval myself, all I really care about is I have my GA's and not spending $500 per ticket like some of these poor souls.

I believe the figure is 2000, with 400 in the ellipse. So you have a 1-in-5 chance.

Well we know that forming two seperate lines at the May MSG show won't be happening considering NO Prop/U2.com members got GA tix.

Prove it.

I think we will soon see that plenty of people were lucky in the presale. It's just that demand far exceeded supply.

Not even in Slane!!!!

 

[Erin go bragh]

No, No, No..

They give YOU an egg timer.

You know, one of those little disc doo-thingies that flashes and beeps when your table is ready at mall-parking-lot theme restaurants.

Get with the program!

Ohhhhhh.....so we're all meeting at Outback Steakhouse to compare eggtimers??

1800-2000 GA tickets and only 200 beeps. That's more like a 1 in ten shot.

Yep...thats what I thought too...

Unless you count getting friendly with other ticket holders...I suppose the odds go up then.

 

[ruffian]

but if you go with a friend or partner up with somebody it doubles your chances...

 

[ckonanz]

I guess we all should be happy that we are going, and if get inside of the ellipse/egg that would be better! Either way we are going to get great spots

Right, the chances of getting a beep (200 beeps, 2000 people) are 1-in-10. But the chances of getting in the heart (400 spots, 2000 people) are 1-in-5.

this is true

 

[walkon11]

Ok, quick question (sorry if it's a bit out of subject)..

Has anyone actually been towards the back of the floor (GA style)? What is the sound like back there, in case I don't get in the ellipse?

 

[The OOTS]

the sound is actually the best right in front of the mixing board which is towards the back

did either of your tickets get buzzed? and are you in the fan club line?

 

[RicoT.O]

So they give you a egg timer on your wrist?

eh?

Or you get a beeper and when it beeps you get into the ECLIPSE!!

(show all work)

God how I hated those words.

 

[tkramer]

Suddenly my idea of a stage in the center with four GA zones ain't looking so bad...

Then no one would be worried...

but if two people together get "beeps" then they can choose people who don't get beeps and take some lucky people in with them. I would.

I think it sounds fun.

Wow, you'd have friends for life. That'd be a nice gift!!!

 

[one4u2]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

 

[trevster2k]

If people get to bring someone with them, it is only 200 beeps instead of 400 beeps. Ahh beep,beep.

They should have posted a rule book at U2.com for fans to brush up on with sections and subsections.

 

[tkramer]

They should sell PLEBA shirts that say:

I got "BEEPED" by U2

 

[Erin go bragh]

Just a thought, but what do you think those with first level reserved seats are thinking about all this beepin nonsense? They shelled out anywhere from $50-$100 more just to be beep-free.

Bleepin beepers.

 

[bonoed]

I wonder what kind of a beep it is, with everybody talking, and all the noise of that many people, they better be able to hear the beeps correctly.

This is interesting. It means the bar code thingy is programmed to do a different kind of beep when it encounters a certain #. Since there are so many hackers all over the internet can they not figure out how to make a ticket beep.

 

[sweetie]

This is so nuts.

 

[Erin go bragh]

To beep or not to beep......that is the question.

This is ... *beep*... hilarious I just hope things have worked out when they play the stadiums in Europe .....
