I was there as well tonite. Anyone know what Bono raps at the end of Sunday Bloody Sunday?
Long distance peeps I'm getting your msgs just can't reply, please keep trying for me!!! Dg contacted that number and have not heard back. Douchebaggery to the nth. Grrrrr
great show last night. BTW, smoking pot is lame. not to mention, caused my wife to loose consciousness – she has severe allergies to certain combustion by/products derivatives in cigarette smoke – some similar by products in pot smoke – and I had to carry her out of the pit passed out and convulsing with an allergic reaction….sorry, i do expect people to comply with the fucking rules....
There were fucking kids there you pot smoking loosers. Fuck, pot smoking is so 1990s. Grow up.
If you are 30+ and still smoke pot, you need to leave your highschool days behind you.
Wow. I'm sure it wasn't me, but I did sell a couple of Toronto tickets on here. I think it was only to gvox though.
I had tickets to Toronto from 2009 that I sold, too. I'm trying to remember if anything I sold were tix I got from someone else?
I'm quite sure it wasn't me, but now I'm paranoid. I would never, ever do something like that. Quite the opposite in fact, you can ask other members here.
I just called TM Canada and they confirmed that I never obtained a refund on my Toronto GA ticket.
Sorry snowbunny for your experience, I'm glad you got in finally though.
TM totally left this open for fans to get fucked by not having people physically return the tix for refunds. How hard would it have been for them to say mail your tickets back or bring them to any venue window and they can be scanned and canceled and the refund issued?
I sold snowbunny one GA ticket but know she also bought another. Knowing I sold my ticket, I never even thought about obtaining a refund unless she contacted me to say she wasn't going to attend. Thus, I checked my TM receipt last night and looked up which cc I used and I never recevied any refund. I went through over a year of statements, just to make sure. But also checked the March date that she gave. I got nada.
If you screw someone on the internet, it gets around.
I'm glad that snowbunny got in as well. So sorry she had to go through that experience.
I remember some people got turned away in NJ in 2009 because their tickets didn't scan there as well. The ticket taker told those people that the buyer got a refund.

Does anyone know if I show up to the stadium at 5 when the gates open, if I asked them to scan my tickets just to confirm they're valid, would they let me come back later? (Because while I'm not giving up on calling Ticketmaster, I'm looking for alternatives if they continue to tell me they can't confirm if the tickets were canceled.)
Or once they scan your tickets, are you in to stay?
I'd love to know if I can run down to the stadium in Minneapolis at 5 and check them so I have time to panic and scramble. I'd rather do that without my family standing by, because I don't want them to worry.
... and I also don't really want them knowing I'm willing to go throw a shit-ton of money at a scalper in an emergency.
Glad to know it wasn't you and nice of you to go back through your records to make sure something didn't get changed/cancelled without your knowledge.
s for Snowbunny. I can't imagine what she must've been going through.
This scares me about Ticketfast tickets, too. There is nothing to stop someone from printing off several copies and selling them. While standing in line yesterday (We were on the east side? of the stadium just over the suspension bridge) there were several scalpers by us and a few of them were holding Ticketfast pages.
One reason why I prefer not to buy Ticketfast tickets unless I know the person.

Interpol sucks. No really, they do. Of anything that I can honestly say I'm looking forward to about the coming days, is not having to put up with listening to them for 45 mins at around 7:30 every day.
I need to start this off by saying that I don't smoke pot... Never saw the appeal.
If you thought you were going to attend a concert without ppl in the vicinity smoking up you had unrealistic expectations, especially considering your wife's allergy concerns.
In a perfect world everyone would follow the rules, there would be no line cutters, scalpers, or pot smokers at concerts. However, the reality is these things exist and you need to be responsible enough to ensure your wife's safety.
This isn't to say I don't empathize with your situation, I just don't see how you couldn't forsee it coming.
clearly a misguided assumption that people generally respect one another. what the fuck i thinking being that misguided. i mean, i am sure when joe asshole pushed his way into the pit at 8:30 to find his friends, surely he saw mr. and ms. hard core U2 fan with a few children in tow and said, why don't i spark a big fat one since i am such an asshole, care only about myself and wish to fuck all those around me.
and for the record, i have never been to ANY U2 concert with as much pot smoking as there was last night.
Pretty good show although as I mentioned in another thread I felt and still feel that Montreal was better from a techincal, musical and overall vibes standpoint. I'm not loving Toronto crowds anymore, not after the lame-os who I saw in the pit last night. How do you NOT dance to Streets? Anyways.

It was really nice to meet some of you and see other familiar faces again.
Liz sorry to hear about your ticket experience? Why didn't you come down to the line, we were trading tickets all day down there. There were GAs available at face from fans all day. But it sounds like it all worked out, so thats good.
Saw a few at the Hideout but then I had to duck out and give some friends a ride home. Thought of coming back but then it was close to 3 am. Hope everyone has had a safe journey home to recouperate
Montreal was pretty enveloped in both kinds of smoke (and a few cigars, too). Most I've experienced at U2 show.
Cigarettes bother me more than pot, but I prefer neither. Although I have no underlying medical issue other than easily getting a dry, scratchy throat. Sorry for your experience. That's rough.
I guess in the future, I'd try Anaheim. I had never seen a security guard grab a lit cigarette out of someone's mouth and throw it on the ground before. It was a just a cig, too, not pot.
Well that settles it then. Thanks for pointing it out. No idea what I was thinking all these yearsgvox said:Interpol sucks. No really, they do
That's scary.
The most pot I've ever smelled at a U2 concert was the second Vancouver show on the Vertigo tour. I think I've smelled it at every other show I've been to, but that was the most.
No idea what I was thinking all these years
Clearly this an IMO moment..
oh, I know. Just being a little tongue in cheek and maybe a little defensive of them
