Beer lines at Stadiums. A solution.

[gunsnroses]

I noticed that alot of people on here seem to think that the beer lines at the shows are going to be incredibly long or that if you are on the floor you might lose your place to go get a beer. My solution is to bring a camelbak full of wine or mixed drinks of some kind. I did this at every vertigo show i saw . I saw 4 shows at MSG and it worked everytime, plus it worked for the philly shows too. I have done this at countless other concerts too. RHCP,GNR,and Metallica and everytime it worked. It saves time and money!

I don't drink at U2 shows = problem solved.

I do all my drinking the night before and/or after the show.

 

[mama cass]

yeah best to avoid too much drinking, as it's peeing that's the problem!

BAHAHAHAH A Camel-back w/wine+rum drinks.....how on earth did you get this past security???? Good for you if you can pull this off!

 

[digitize]

I'm sixteen and have no inclination to drink... so that isn't an issue for me.

 

[gunsnroses]

I just put it on under my shirt and maybe wear a jacket. I thought for sure the security at MSG would notice, but i went for it anyways and it worked like a charm. BTW if you dont drink at a U2 then why go to a thread about beer lines.

Yep. I drink but not at U2 shows, especially if I have GA's.

Letting people in and out of my row so they can go buy beers/pee is my favorite part of a show or a sporting event. I love when they return and spill a little beer on me. Its awesome.

During a Vertigo tour show, a woman walked up the wrong stairs looking for her seat. When she couldn't find it she sat down on the stairs and cried for a few songs

She gave a great solution to the problem!

I also don't drink at most concerts. Solves a hell of a lot of problems! That's what dinner beforehand, or the parties afterwards are for.

 

[God Part III]

Why drink? The show itself takes me there - and I don't have to pee during it!

I'll have to remember that next time I open a thread that I'd like to look at, whether it applies to me or not. My bad.

exactly! why drink at a u2 show and forget the wonderful experience?

i drink at some shows, but a U2 show is a sacred place as far as im concerned and i dont want my mind altered in any way for that experience.

Drinking after a show in Las Vegas = no last call

And yet you do Blue Crack. Interesting priorities you have there, Digitize.

Trust me... this place has me higher than a kite at times. I don't really need to dump any other addictive crap into my system.

 

[DeVaul]

With a GA ticket, do you dare drink?

Depends.

Exactly! I'll take a bottle of water with me and that'll be all.

kids my age are getting drunk....they think they're so wicked.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

the peeing problem is my biggest issue for a U2 concert. It's actually a nightmare if you have GA ticks, so I will try not to drink too many beers before...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

seeing as everyone seems to be shooting down your drinking idea, i'll back you up.

when i was outside the ellipse on GA but wanted to be close, there was no drinking 'cause it was impossible... i'd never be able to get back. but i'll never do that again ever ever ever ever so beers it is.

if they have anything similar to the ellipse this time where you can freely come and go as you please, drinking is quite easy. i do stop drinking for the most part once the show begins though, for obvious pee break reasons... i'll usually pee about 5 times inbetween the opener and u2 going on just to make sure. but if there's any left, well.. that's what stuck in a moment is for.

 

[mikal]

Yep. I drink but not at U2 shows, especially if I have GA's.

agreed. i'll probably have some coctails before we head down to the stadium, but that's about it.

 

[zoopop]

I usually have 1 beer during the opening act or before U2 goes on. But drinking at any concert is too much of a hassle.

beegee, I'm on the fence about the Vegas show & your suggestion only helps

 

[mikal]

i also highly suggest not getting completely hammered before the show. in 2005, a buddy and i saw U2 in Milwaukee. it was a Sunday, so the Packers were playing. after a $75 tab, we were in pretty good shape, but by the time the show started, we were crashing pretty hard and i had a hard time enjoying the show.

All the cool kids are doing it. c'mon, just have a couple drinks. do it. do it. do it.


Seriously though, i stopped drinking at concerts a while back. I hated having to leave to pee all the time. And I would always try to hold it in for as long as possible. Looks kinda ridiculous when a slow song starts up and you're still doing the hold-the-pee-in jitterbug

Enjoy the praying

Long live rock 'n roll
there is NOTHING better than having a few drinks, feel even more loose and enjoy your favourite band in the world.

edit: NEVER during the show itself off course.
