I have 2 tickets to show #2, section 204. Hoping to see alot of you there! I am up for whatever meet up people want to do and I am really looking forward to this!
I will be working the 1st show hopefully. My aunt got 4 for each night in the presale, I got 2 for night 2. Have no idea what I am doing with the other one, as it seems my aunt got enough to cover my mom and others in my family who want to go. We will see. Options are sell it, give it to a friend, trade it for something, or make a new friend fast with the ticket at some point. All I care is I am guranteed both Boston shows now, be it through working or through my aunt.
As for parking at the venue, I know from Pats games yrs back that it is an unmitigated disaster but NOT nearly as bad as the old Foxboro stadium. My mom and aunt saw Popmart there and spent 3 hrs waiting to get out of the lot afterwards! Also, alot of improvements have been made to Route 1 with the new stadium and Patriot Place in there, so maybe its better.
Gillette Stadium Follow this link for their official concert parking policy. I dont know if it will be followed, good chance it will be this yr since they have been embarassed big time at the last few concerts they have done. Most problems have been in the parking lot. Mr Kraft(quite the asshole, owner of the Patriots) has wound up raked over the coals big time in the papers and elsewhere for keeping a disorderly concert environment.
No ticket no entry was not the policy at Kenny Chesney last yr- 3 girls without tickets drank in the parking lot and were tragically killed on rt 1 in Wrentham before the show even started. There were a bunch of fights at Kenny and underage drinking, really embarassing for the venue the last few yrs. At least half of those arrested, if I remember correctly, had no tickets. The parking lots open very early in the morning and they have been a zoo the last few yrs. So much so that the state police have said countryfest there is the worst event they had ever worked. This does not mean U2 will be like this, our fans are civilized, lol!! It is just an anecdote to show that the stated policies are not followed all the time.
The last 2 yrs of embarassment may have caused them to reconsider how they run the parking lot for concerts in 2009, who knows. I talk to alot of their house security people in my own job, so I will keep people updated as we move through Elton John/Billy Joel, CountryFest and possibly AC/DC before U2 hits Gillette in September.
I would say unless you are taking public transportation or know of some really great place a few miles down the road to park, then you should park in one of their lots only for the fact that you are going to want to have the car right there to go back to. Just walking off the property from the vicinity of the entrance or GA line is a real hike.
Your amaze me. That's so sweet. 
We should sing Happy Birthday to you in Dublin too. 
I am so excited. Me and DG just need tickets now.
