May, 29, 2011 Canad Inns Stadium - Winnipeg, MB

[Honey_child]

ATTENTION: YOU DO NEED A PASSPORT IF YOU ARE COMING TO CANADA - IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DRIVE OR FLY.

Sorry, just wanted to clarify that.

THIS IS INSANE - I can't even BELIEVE this one, did this come out of left field or what? This actually IS the closest they are playing to me (5 hour drive) so I am most CERTAINLY going.

(Sorry for all the caps, I'm kinda floored right now!)

I KNOW! After they annouced Minneapolis, I was so down because it meant no Winnipeg. I'm glad I was wrong. I cannot wait until May

I like that Manitoba and Minnesota are kinda the same shape.

Edgefest! Another show together!

Oh HAI small stadium!

 

[ryancoke71]

Ticketmaster was saying before that the presale started Thursday..now it says Wednesday!!!!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Come on U2.com, announce something!!

Ticketmaster was saying before that the presale started Thursday..now it says Wednesday!!!!

that was the "venue/Live Nation" presale that they have listed for Thursday, not the U2.com presale

 

[lauramullen]

I didn't get an email from U2.com for the Pittsburgh presale until fifteen minutes before the presale started.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Uhhh really? Well hopefully they'll at least send an email confirming the show

 

[lauramullen]

They had it on U2.com when the presale was going to start. I would keep checking there.

Ticketmaster actually selling the tickets to you would be all the confirmation you'd need.

But yeah, it's a little odd that U2.com hasn't said a thing about Winnipeg yet. I'm assuming that they wanted South Africa to be in the limelight for today. But they're going to have to say something about Winnipeg tomorrow, unless they're planning on waiting until Wednesday morning.

Fortunately, the ticketmaster page is pretty clear on the U2.com presale times:
It starts Wednesday at 10, and ends Friday at 3. If its anything like the previous few presales, Cedar members will be allowed to join in on Wednesday at 3.

I got my email for that 2 days after the presale....

Kristen, are you and Drea splitting a membership to get the codes?

 

[lauramullen]

They maybe announcing the other shows too and this one just got leaked.

In all my excitement, I must have misread it!

 

[cleazer]

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It'll be interesting to see if tomorrow's presumed announcement will be just for Winnipeg, or if Nashville/Boston/St Louis/Indianapolis/Columbus/Bowling Green get thrown in there too.

I kind of have the feeling it'll be for Winnipeg only.

 

[rosephile]

I sure hope it's for Winnipeg only, I don't get paid until the 5th! :/

 

[EdgeFest]

They made same mistake with Pittsburgh though, they had the U2.com presale starting on "Wednesday" when it first hit TM last week, and then it was changed to Thursday. We shall see, but I bet U2.com presale doesn't start until Thursday.

We should know tomorrow morning though

Nope, she renewed for the Dublin rumours and offered to get a ticket for me too.

Thanks Drea!

 

[ryancoke71]

I will probably have to buy one for my 2 GA's...I don't want to miss this one!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

So you're doing GA?

 

[ryancoke71]

Yes

You are going to lose it with Sean watching...

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

WooHoo!!

Of course I will! Hope he doesn't embarrass easily You can just warn him before the show.

 

[ryancoke71]

You know Sean....he will have a blast!!! Do you want to eat at Olive Garden?

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

OMG yes!!

 

[Honey_child]

That Olive Garden near the stadium has a line that rivals the U2 GA line

 

[ryancoke71]

I got to experience that in the summer!

 

[ramblin rose]

According to TM presale starts Wednesday.

U2 360º Tour tickets Canad Inns Stadium Winnipeg, MB, Directions, seating chart. Official Ticketmaster site.

Damn, u2.com. We'll be lucky if they even announce this show before the presale starts.

I have this feeling that I'm going to want to hold back 2 code tickets because they'll announce another U.S. show before Denver. Irrational, I know, but I hate this stuff. The annoyance of wondering when to use your codes with the damn concert dates still dribbling out is too much.

Tell me about it!

 

[ryancoke71]

I think they are releasing one date at a time to get people to get a 2nd subscription to get more codes.....I am still debating what I should do.
