[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Geez, I hope LA isn't this screwed up -- they're giving out GA wristbands at Soldier already!!

 

[mtnfox]

[nicv]

Steelers for the win.

^ I know. I'm hoping that it's just this insane because it's the first show here. I'm also hoping they get more organized as they go.

I think they are "fan issued" wristbands - i.e. nothing officially from the venue. Instead of the old "write a number on your hand with a marker" the line nazis have advanced to wristbands.

^please educate me, I'm a GA virgin

Will these fan bands be honored by the venue?

In Europe it depended on the venue.
Barcelona was so well organised it was a dream. All fans respected the numbering system as did the venue.

In Paris it was a mess.... Ive never felt like Ive wasted a day of my life so much as I did then. I felt sorry for a Polish friend who slept the night in the rain and was number 1. Our gate was opened half an hour later than the rest...

I'm not sure where I read it but there was some kind of official statement about this that basically said that U2 and the venues would NOT take responsibility for fans "policing" themselves or doing their own number system, although they recognized that it would probably happen.

 

[nicv]

Thanks guys. Guess, we'll see how these first shows go here.

Whooo, GA's in hand

Now . . . I should probably get to Chicago

 

[nicv]

GAs in LA, 95,000 people, reading the Chicago thread,

I have a headache

 

[Lila64]

That's not all that's hurting or gonna be hurting. We don't even have the transportation options/parking they have

 

[nicv]

 

[nicv]

But ya know what, we are going to be in the biggest party ever in LA

and I'm not gonna kill myself getting in that's for sure, I'm going to hang back and enjoy it!

Interferencers + other U2 fans + U2 = priceless

Can we organize a flash mob?
YouTube - OPRAH FlashMob 24th Season Kickoff & "How Did They Do That?!" aired 9/10/09

This was so very cool - I think the BEY, while not my first choice of opening bands, may get the crowd pumped up

 

[nicv]

^scared me Lila, wasn't sure what I was going to see w/a Flash mob

can't we all just do this?
