Well said. There is a strange sense of entitlement people have when they think they are the biggest fan. Your ticket was for the floor, no other guarantees no matter how long you stand in line or how many candles you light in Bono's name. This Rex guy sounds like a prick, but remember these guys have really hard jobs at times. After many years of speaking with many of them I know they don't get a lot of info. Most likely about 20 minutes before you got there he walked out and his boss told him to stand in this spot and don't let anybody without an xyz wrist band come in there. He probably wouldn't know tour staff if they slapped him in the face. They don't even let them be on the feild for the sound check in most cases.
Be grateful U2 gives you the chance to be this close to the experience and that you got the experience of a lifetime for a mere $55. They could throw chairs down and charge a lot more!!
well said, this post and a couple of ones before it. I would be upset too if i waited in line since 8am but that doesnt give anyone the right to act like a child. I think people should have realized everything would be sorted out eventually. A simple complaint on Rex to the security company should be sufficent, and enought of them will drive home the point. But emailing or faxing Principle Mgmt and demanding compensation is going overboard. I'm glad nobody died over this.
