N.A. was also arenas and Europe was stadiums
I can't see how a lottery could be managed with thousands of people waiting in line...Again though, my experience in these matters is quite limited
How 'bout based on seniority?
bono said only fans who wear the Ong Song Sushi mask get inside the ellipse, so start printing if you want a good spot

even though there will be thousands of people with GA tickets, there won't be thousands of people in line when the gates open. you'd be surprised how empty the floor is even when the opening act starts.
Makes perfect sense...Either way, I'll be there on the grassy knoll at U of PHX Stadium the night before!!!
it was not lottery for Vertigo TOur in Europe in 2005! I doubt they will do it this time...
Yeh but thats cos there wasnt an enclosed section, am I right?
No lottery please, at least not in Europe
The people who are there first should get the best spots, that's just fair.
oh there were thousands of people queuing hours before the gates opened at the Nice stadium show last tour, and it was a matter of getting squeezed thru the crush at the gates and running for your life to reach the pitch, then getting thru another crush at the entrance to the front section to get a good spot... it was hell i tell ya
mind you, there were 40 000 standing at Nice and v. little seating, so that's probably not a good comparison... i don't know how many GA there are at normal stadiums which have seating as well??
They should put people with the highest post counts on Interference in front. If you have over 2000 posts, you're in the inner circle.
Hmmmm... I don't like the sound of this. Hopefully things will be a little more civil this tour as Nice will be my first show with GA tickets. Was the entire audience GA standing in 2005?
so i wonder when Chicago rolls around, if i could still get to the stadium at 4pm and be part of the first 3,000 people.
Greetings from within the heart of the claw! This boy is gonna give Bono a clap on his shoulder tonight.
Queued since this morning. Ran in at 5:30. Best spots ever. Next to catwalk, 15m from main stage. Good craic here in Barcelona!
Here is a basic guideline of what the U2 360° Tour has planned for the General Admission/Field Entrance Procedures. Please check for any updates as we fine tune these details once we start our tour.
For safety reasons, The U2 360° Tour, along with the stadiums, will not permit any overnight camping or lines on venue property. This includes parking lots and streets surrounding the venue. All gates and entrances to these points will be closed. We plan on allowing General Admission/Field patrons to begin queuing at the venue entrances between 9:00am - 12pm on SHOW DAYS. This time will be based on local authority's regulations. We will try to post these times on the website once we get this information. Local and tour security staff will assist patrons with field/pitch tickets to the general queuing line, which should be one centralized location.The U2 360° Tour will not have any responsibility if field/pitch ticket holders "police" themselves with the use of a numbering system.
We will only recognize the "first come first serve" system based upon actual entry at gates at the specified time. We have requested that the venues provide port-o-lets if no exterior restroom facilities are available. Other amenities (for example misting stations and concessions) will be available ONLY at venues where space and permits allow. Items such as banners or flags on sticks, coolers, bottles, cans, umbrellas, portable chairs or electronics (other than mobile phones and point and shoot cameras) will be not be allowed in the stadium, so please make arrangements to store these items prior to your entry into the stadium.
Once the general admission gates open, the U2 Tour Staff with assistance from local authorities will supervise the filling of the "inner circle"
We ask that these ticket holders proceed in an orderly fashion as to not risk injury to one's self or others. Once the inner circle has reached capacity, the remaining ticket holders will be allowed to fill in on the general field/pitch area.Patrons that gained entrance to the "inner circle" will be either wrist banded or stamped upon their exit from that area. It is important that all patrons keep their tickets in their possession as they may be asked for both forms of proof.
