Best seating chart yet

[lauramullen]

Cool.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Makes section 120 look a little better

SMB

 

[lauramullen]

I'm in GA, so it is always the same.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Yeah, I am trying GA for the first time ever in Montreal

SMB

 

[lauramullen]

The only part of it I could do without is the anxiety before they let us in.

 

[JMNJ]

Im really looking forward to this, first GA u2 experience.

 

[Notabene]

Seating chart looks good. Another first timer doing ga for the show. Quite excited and nervous all at the same time.

 

[lauramullen]

GA isthat bad. It's just the part right before they let you in and the run going in that is the worst part.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

I am gonna hate that part. Make sure everything is put away, use restrooms one last time and then boom, doors open. I am gonna try for a rail spot on the catwalk inside the pit. "Try" is the key word. But, Montreal is gonna be 100 times worse. Luckily, for this show, I have a really great seat

[lauramullen]

That is where I was for Dublin 1. It was my first 360 show, but not my first time in GA. My first GA was on the Elevation Tour.

 

[Notabene]

GA isthat bad. It's just the part right before they let you in and the run going in that is the worst part.

That's what I would have thought too. I still cannot imagine what it is going to be like even after hearing and reading about it so many times. I am just so excited to be going to this show.

 

[lauramullen]

Me too. I can finally be home before 1am after a show. The only show of the tour for me.

 

[Drowningman]

I'd like to know about the camera policy if anyone has the info.

I know you can bring a point and shoot camera to the shows
but what about the DSLRs?

When I went to the Giant's Stadium show in Sept., I took a basic point and shoot and the pictures were average. In the stadium I spotted at least 4 people around my seat who had the higher end cameras with the large lenses, etc

I'd love to take my DSLR and get some amazing shots but I don't want to have it confiscated.

 

[lauramullen]

Some people have had luck taking them in. If you have aseat then you will probably be ok, but in GA depending on the secruity they may say something. I only own a point and shoot, so maybe someone with a DSLR can be better help.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

It's point and shoot only. That's the rule but then again you might be able to sneak it in. If you have a point and shoot bring that instead. I've seen people bring in DSLRs and have them taken away by security. It's all about if you're willing to take the chance.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

Oh and if you have seats go for it. GA is where it gets tricky.

 

[kassandra]

We were told by security that as long as the lens is not longer than a credit card you can use it. GA is stricter though.

 

[Drowningman]

Thank you all for your input.

I have seats for the Philly show so I think I will take a chance with my DSLR.

If they raise a stink about it, I will take it back to my car and leave it there I guess

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

I just use a small digital... No clue what it is... Worked great for the shows I saw, even far away in upper levels. All close seats in 2010 though. Two lower levels and GA

7 More Months!! Wooohoo!

So I live in the Irish part of South Philly and I'm pretty sure the entire neighborhood is going to the show. One of our local bar's DJ is suppose to be putting together a HUGE tailgating party. That I won't be attending, because I will be celebrating my 24th in the GA line! Jagerbombs?!

 

[lauramullen]

Woo hoo. I heard them talking about it on the radio again and I got all excited.

 

[kassandra]

Oh summer come fast!

 

[lauramullen]

Especially with the weather for tomorrow.

 

[kassandra]

Yeah, lots of snow coming here and it is so cold, brr.

 

[Notabene]

7 More Months!! Wooohoo!

::oes Happy Dance::: July can't get here soon enough!

 

[PeckU2]

Especially with the weather for tomorrow.

Worst part is I have to be in work at 4am Sunday morning to set our ad.

 

[lauramullen]

I have to be in at 6am. I got to the airport and back today, but not too sure about tomorrow.

 

[Val]

Oh my Gawd! My brother just surprised me with, in his words, "best seats in the house" tixs. What a great brother!

I'm going, Kassandra! I'm not sure if Dave is going, so I might hitch a ride with you and Jo if that's okay.

You will love George!
