Oct 23rd - Las Vegas - General Discussion & Gathering Thread II

[bonocomet]

The UNLV site now says sold out, no tickets are available. But it also says there may be some singles available, and to call to check on availabilty.
The link at u2.com will take you to the UNLV order page though so you can probably find the singles through there too.

Yeah, even though it says to call to check on availability, looks like you can still buy singles online :

I don't see it happening, given that they are in LA at the Rose Bowl on Sunday. I can't imagine having a second Vegas show on the Saturday in between.

It seems that the North American dates are final, now.

Hi there, ahhh now that Ive found the right discussion area for it (lol) ...

Ill be at the Vegas show this year, at LAST! I have literally waited over 25 years for the ability to get a good ticket to their show, especially one in Vegas (I live in the Reno Tahoe area of northern Nevada). I cant wait to see what the first shows of the tour look like when the clips hit the 'net, so I know what to anticipate with this very cool 360 stage setup. Excited isnt the word for how I feel, more like ecstatic. In the last few days since I got my ticket, Ive felt like Clark Griswold in "Vacation" with the fixed manic permagrin ... "We're all gonna have so much fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our GD smiles"

So Ill probably be in town from 10/22 to 10/25, and Ill mostly likely be staying at the Excalibur in one of their "widescreen" rooms (plus Ive heard they have especially good buffets, King Arthur style). Ill be interested in checking out any and all U2 related events and parties going on before and after the show, and so Ill keep an eye on this board and forum for updates about that. Six months to plan, and Im gonna make it extremely special.

My name is Don (add Alex on the 'net), and I hope to see you in the "other" city of blinding lights.

Then you shall be very near to where I will be!

 

[SaintSubversive]

Its hard to fathom that just a couple of years ago, I went to U23D in a digital cinema and was totally stunned at how it made you feel like you were right there (the audience POV perspective element was especially vivid), and as I left I said to myself "I am NOT gonna miss the next tour for anything". Now Im getting it, no 3D glasses required this time, lol.

(that reminds me ... I wonder if they have any plans to show U23D in cities that the concerts are playing in. I would LOVE to watch it again after seeing the concert, and Vegas has plenty of IMAX fer shure.)

Tell me about it...... 6 months is a looonnnggg way off...

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone might be doing the driving thing from the LA area for this show who might have a spare seat?
Would be great to meet up with some fellow fans...
cheers
