Signs at U2 concerts...

[theu2fly]

What if I wanted to bring a small poster / sign for U2 (I haven't thought of a saying or question or comment yet) would I bet able to get one in?

 

[impy13]

Yes.

 

[cmb737]

Be prepared for varied responses to your holding it up however.

 

[spasm26]

cmb, what do you mean by this. Is it b/c you'll be blocking someone's view?

 

[anitram]

Yes, people will get testy with you for holding it up, especially on the floor.

Yeah, some are nicer than others...but repeatedly holding up a sign and blocking is bound to get something yelled at you.

It wasn't mine. It was for the leprechaun my roomate was dating. Nice guy, but terrible breath. Really patriotic too.

There is nothing wrong with bringing an Irish Flag to a U2 concert. I have seen other countries flags at other U2 concerts on the Elevation tour.

My wife made Adam blush by having a sign on the front rail that said:

"Adam Clayton, I want to have 10,000 of your babies."

He took it from her.

I want to make a sign that says "We're skipping the honeymoon for U2"... I'm being married the day before the Milwaukee show, and I'm currently begging the fiance to take the limo straight to the Bradley Center to wait in line- dress & all!!!

"Adam Clayton, I want to have 10,000 of your babies."

That would be so cool and crazy. What a story that would make for your grandchildren.

They took away our interference banner in Vegas.

All depends on which you'd rather see at a U2 concert. The band or the back or someone's sign. Myself, I prefer to see the band. Leave the signs at home. Express yourself verbally.

Are you freaking serious? I never knew that.


Kristina and I got our Larry drumsticks begging signs into Chicago just fine, but the guards bitched at us for holding them up longer than a few seconds at a time.



It was so cute to see Larry squinting to read them (we were in the 2nd row on Adam's side), and we got our sticks.

Adam took a tiny sign from me, too.

I made one for Larry's birthday and just kept it along the inside of the heart until they were going off for their encore, and I jumped up and held it up & Bono saw it and showed Larry who pointed and waved and smiled. He was able to get it from me later. It was the best sign ever.

My idea on signs- nice, but awkward, and I don't think I'll do one again. They can definitely aggravate people, so the time I had one I made sure to just put it up when the band would see it, between songs, and I was in the back of the heart so I wasn't blocking anyone's view. And never leave it up for very long.

 

[AliEnvy]

Will venue security (San Diego) be less willing to let a sign in if it's mounted on foam or cardboard or is it better to have it rolled up?

 

[bonoed]

Each arena seems to do that differently. The best way to get stuff in is to have it be on cloth, like use a bed sheet or something that can be folded up and brought in. Big signs they take away everywhere I've ever been. A lot of places, like the Pond, and Staples, have had tables out in front where they make people leave everything from flowers, to signs, to toys they were going to throw up on stage. Others you can bring everything in. The last show I was just at, Josh Groban in Vegas, they let us bring everything in from signs to stuffed animals to gifts to flowers, to cameras, etc. The artist's mgt. has the ultimate say as well.

Was that the Harley sign? I've seen pics of that

I think that's a good compromise, holding it up for a few seconds between songs. But I can see the problem of blocking someone's view.

 

[lauren430]

I really want to have a good one but I really don't want to annoy anyone

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

IDE be very pissed off if the person infront of me was holding up a sign and blocking my view! I would consider that very rude and disrespectfull of the people around you.

My 2 cents!

 

[nuke126]

yeah, i will be on the floor for 2 shows, and if someone held up a sign that blocked my view i'd tell them off, or even take it and rip it up. if you are on the floor only have small signs.
