Quite the prophetic original post! Quite the prophetic original post! The third point about how differently U2 and Rick Rubin work turned out to be the biggest problem. The quotes from the band since then are nearly spot on with the original post: "The Edge: I think had we finished the...

Update, got shut out for presales and general for both shows :( I'll take 2 to 4 GA's to either Vegas show. Thanks!

Same here. I'll take any GA's to either Vegas show. Me, wife, and friends all got shut out of all presales and the general. So disappointing.

Interestingly enough, I bought my first two U2 albums because I thought U2 was a cool band name and Under a Blood Red Sky and Unforgettable Fire were great album names. I had never listened to U2 at this point, but got these two, listened, and bought every other album within a few months. This...

I've now tried for both shows, in both citi presales and both general onsales. Nothing. Beyond bummed. I've been able to score GA's during presale and general sale for every tour they've been doing it (Elevation to now). This new ticketing process is brutal and certainly isn't helping real...

I listened through No Line on the plane today. Loved it. Every song is pretty good in my opinion. It's a bit edgy, and quite unique and creative. Very strong opening sequence of songs. It feels like most songs on the album are 5-10% away from being absolute classics, but just didn't quite get...

Yep, to me every song on No Line is solid. Great album. Impossible for me to rank U2 albums after Achtung and Pop (if I include live versions of the Pop songs)

Totally agree.

I've only listened to the album once through, but a lot of your logic makes sense to me and I want to try it this way.

Super solid, but no magic hit I just finished my first listen, and I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. For reference, my favorite U2 albums are Achtung Baby & Pop (live versions), followed closely by Joshua Tree & All That You Can't Leave Behind. On first listen, Songs of Experience has...

Got shut out in the pre-sales and the general onsale. I've been going to tours since Zoo TV but was unable to get tickets this time, so frustrating!

No luck here. Had my wife and I trying on the phone and two different computers.

Wow I've probably tried close to a hundred times since the onsale at 9am and haven't had anything pull up for Vegas GA's. Good for you. Any advice? App or computer? Do anything special?

What a joke. Nothing available but $330 tickets. No GA's, but I was able to find nearly a hundred starting at $419 a piece on scalper sites. Every tour this is a ridiculous fiasco.

No luck on GA's for Vegas in the city Pre-sale. In fact, nothing but $330 tickets. But you can find hundreds of GA's on scalper sites right now starting at only $419. What a freaking joke U2!

This piano cover of Song for Someone just blows me away...probably my all-time favorite U2 cover:

Suggestions worked out great in Denver, thanks everyone!

Even though I have liked some of the opening acts, I'm not going to lie, I REALLY enjoyed just getting to U2 the other night. Show up, watch the set up, and BOOM, band on. Really liked not having an opening act.

I read that thread, but it doesn't really have the info I want because there are no setlist spoilers so they don't talk about the best places to be during specific songs.

In the past, I've kind of had a flow of where I stand and move during a U2 shoe in general admission. Start at the main stage for x number of songs, move to the back to view the screen at song x, etc. but I can't seem to figure it out for this tour without having actually attended a show yet...

Oh, and the solo at the end of The Troubles is awesome.

I've got to say, the guitar work Edge is doing during The Miracle is awesome...totally transforms the song for me.

Did they ID you or just scan your credit card?

I'm hoping to be there...hoping someone will sell me a pair of GA's for Saturday night! :up:

Thanks, Ax. Anyone have any other experiences?
