Too bad you guys won't get Oasis again

[pudgie_child]

Can anyone enlighten me as to which sections in the second deck sold for $55?

Also, which sections in the second deck sold for $30? I am guessing that they are behind the stage.

I am debating whether to try for seats or GA for the second show (assuming that there is a second show).

Thanks for any help!

I think we'll survive.

I am very curious to see who will be opening though. The West Coast better get someone good, dammit.

I like Blondie's more for the atmosphere. The pizza is good and Blondies but it's better at Cheeseboard.

Not gonna happen. While the Phx crowd did a pretty good job last month, Phoenix is one of the most notoriously bad sellers - poorly sold, poorly attended, unenthusiastic crowds. Promoters know it.

 

[Miringeltje]

I think he means the band Phoenix as opener for u2.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Now it makes sense why he would interject that comment into this thread at that particlar moment.

2nd show will be announced within the next few weeks.

Supposed to be on June 15th.

With a 2nd show for Anaheim already announced, what are the chances for a 2nd show in Oakland?

 

[zuropa_fit]

I actually hope there isn't a 2nd show for Oakland. I'd really want to go to that one and I just can't keep buying tickets. I think I'd give up my Oakland 1 for Oakland 2 if they added a 2nd show.

 

[hillers]

I'm going. I didn't have a problem getting tickets. I had the opportunity to get GAs, but I'm going with my whole family, and certain family members would not want to stand up for the whole concert.

The seats are behind the stage though.

 

[zuropa_fit]

I wouldn't worry about being behind the stage. From what I can tell (from being in the front of the stage for several shows on the last leg) the boys all spend a bit of time back there - and Larry's drum kit even rotates so you get to see him

 

[lauramullen]

Yeah, Bono goes back there alot.

 

[hillers]

OK, that's good to know. I wasn't even paying attention to the seats when I got the tickets, I just wanted to buy them A.S.A.P.

 

[kafrun]

I officially have a ticket for this show now Thanks, TicketFairy™

 

[romi]

Thanks, TicketFairy™

Is "TM" your ticket fairy?

 

[kafrun]

Is "TM" your ticket fairy?

Nope. I have a few floating around it seems, though

picked up me GAs today. the ticket says "Gate A or B" so that has me a little worried

they probably just don't know which yet.

 

[lauramullen]

Mine says that too.

I think chances are good, but I believe they will wait to announce it until after Seattle has sold well.

 

[lauramullen]

I want to book a hotel, but can't because I don't know if there will be a second show.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Why don't you book one anyway? If a 2nd show isn't added, there's still a TON of stuff to do in the Bay Area.

 

[lauramullen]

I hope I can explain this easy. I'm off from work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This show is on a Wednesday. If there is no 2nd show or if they play on the Tuesday and the Wednesday, I can fly home on the Thursday and work on that Friday and not have to take another day off. I'm already going to be off for about 2 weeks. I'm planning on flying in to Oakland on the 13th, so I can get some siteseeing done beforehand.

 

[zuropa_fit]

That makes perfect sense.

 

[indigo tree]

Gosh, I dunno If I'll be able to afford to do a second show.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Told my family we're "probably coming to visit around the middle of June". Didn't say why then

 

[lauramullen]

I'm hoping a second show gets announced today.
