Does anyone know if the band has been meeting fans at the Boston shows when they arrive for sound check ? I only saw one picture of Larry signing something.

Any tips for autographs at the NY shows? Which entrance do they use? Do they usually sign at MSG or is that too much of a security nightmare in the middle of the city?

Going to MSG for the first time, I'd appreciate any tips. I'll be there for NY1 and 2. Thanks guys

Last time around on Vertigo their cars would swing in to the 33rd street loading dock. The ramp pulls right into the arena it's self. Their cars are parked literally 50-100 feet from the stage area and dressing rooms.

Often one or more of them would get out and meet fans, most often Bono. They did it a few times after shows, too.

So the middle of 33rd street is your best bet.

Cool thank you!

I love how this completely escaped everyone's attention lol

Thanks, Headache. Our train gets to New York around 3 on Saturday, so I know what our first stop after we check into our hotel will be. I've come close twice. I'm really hoping the third time's the charm to meet them.

Any indication of when the band have been arriving for the Boston shows? I know earlier in the tour it was between 1-3? Hoping to see them tomorrow night.

Does anyone know what time the band came out yesterday? Also was it at the GA line or somewhere else?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The band doesn't come to the GA line. They're not on the list.

They enter most venues via the loading dock area, as early as 2pm as late as 5pm. Average time I'd guess is around 3:30.

Sometimes they stop, sometimes they don't. It's a crap shoot, really.

LMAO!

We were late seeing them in Chicago on night 4. We knew we were running late by getting there just before 4pm, but I think that day they (who came out, not the entire band), were out before 3pm.

Security told everyone waiting in Boston 2 that the band were NOT stopping because there wasn't enough room on the roadside so we left, and then I saw photos of the band signing that day!

Did they stop today? I got into NYC too late (thanks Obama), but curious of it's worth it tomorrow.

Yes they did. Appeared to be pretty close to 2:00 PM.

That's what they alwasy say to avoid a big crowd. Security lies.

Plus they actually have no clue what time the band arrives since they arrive whenever they feel like it.

Just like Bono

Just like Bono

We met Edge before the show on Saturday

 

[Pop Artist]

Looks like Bono stopped to greet fans today, may still be out there, or perhaps another band member will be by very shortly.

Can you confirm if the band or individual members have been meeting fans on 33rd St. I'm going to try shake a hand or take a pic at show #8. I'm pretty sure they'll greet fans before the last concert.

 

[Pop Artist]

Yes, it is on 33rd St. (mid-block) AFAIK, they only stopped before the first show, and then today.

Nice, Thanks for the info. I'm probably going to pull into Penn Station between 2:30 and 3 so It won't take to much effort to pop upstairs and hang out for a half hour or so and see if I get lucky.
