That's fine, but it there's NOBODY there at any given time keeping tabs on things, then the list is especially crap. They can't just have the list floating at random intervals and expect everyone to respect that.

They expect that. But it is up to the individual to accept it. I, for one, don't.

Or Target Field. My dad thought the show was there as of last night.

Apparently I didnt know the fucking secret handshake? maybe they are on the dark side of the moon? WTF...how can you have a fucking line when only the people who you want to know about it know about it? I call horseshit on this one.

In Chicago, there was a running list like that, but, as far as I know SOMEONE was always there, even though they had to break it down into shifts.
No only are these guys douchebags, they're lazy asses.

If you're willing to get together and camp out, get there earlier on Fri-to-Sat night I'll join you. If we have a sizeable group that can't all be shoved to the end at 6am, .....

Nick ran the Oakland line. He's a nice guy, don't beat him up, at least.

Oh, but if you have a magic list, you can!
Welcome to the final leg of the 360 tour.
GA makes me hate (some) U2 fans.

Different Nick - Oakland Nick is 4U2Play, he's not in Minneapolis.
(I think I remember him saying he ran that line, as it was his hometown show.)

Ohhh, thanks. Carry on, then? (j/k)

Yeah...it's total bullshit. I remember Zootv being seated on the floor in Ames, IA. That would put a stop to this BS.

I'd hate seats though. I'm 5' 5" and can't see multiple shows if I have to pay $250 to be in front.

Please find out the time this 'list' was posted and text me. Im gonna check this out.

Yeah, seats on the field is no good.
They should at least try the Springsteen GA method. You show up between certain hours, and you get a wristband, let's say between numbers 1 - 500. You go back at 5:00 and they draw a number. If they draw #236, then number #236 is the first one in.

I have no problem paying rather than having to blow some hemp-smelling doucher to get on some magic list that only fairies know of.

I thought seats wouldn't be good either. I had 2nd row seats for Tool and it worked out just fine.

Only if they can guarantee fan club access to the "best" seats - I can just imagine that those first rows would go to scalpers like they seem to do now.
Whatever. It's all fucked up on many levels.
Is this tour over yet?

LOL! I am not stressing. I am showing up at 3:30 and taking what I get. I just don't like the system taking advantage of people.

That's cool! I like that. (I also loved the lottery system in Vertigo.)

The guy putting the list together was outside the plaza where you could see the Claw. He said he's hanging around all day and having security send people his way. If security hadn't pointed him out, I wouldn't have known...
It'll be interesting to see how this goes down, especially since the main security guy at the stadium said they'll start numbering people at 6am, and that's the # they'll honor.
I dunno... this seems like a recipe for disaster.

Oh, I wouldn't have like a ~moral~ problem with paying, I'd have a lack-of-cash problem.

I'm almost nostalgic for the damned Vertigo lottery system.

It seems to have worked very smoothly--everyone on the list shows up by 6am, gets in line, then security shows up and moves the line to the official line area. there've only been a couple times when people not on the "list"-line were even THERE at 6am.

I only hit 2-3 shows a tour so it wouldn't be that bad. And I cash in miles for the flights and points for the hotels. I am a cheap bastard on most things....other than tix.

Seriously, Tim should have his own list, with all of our names on it, and say he started it at a different location. Days Inn parking lot?
