I want to do red zone for night 1 and keep hoping they will release more tickets, otherwise it's way in the back for me!

For those arriving to the airport and not willing/not able to pay for cab fare.
These buses can take you from the airport to downtown or to the Hippodrome:
747 - This is a new one, and as the number suggests it stops at the airport and goes to Lionel-Groulx metro(subway) and Berri-Uqam so you can stop at either one, whatever is closer to your hotel.
202 - It stops at Dorval station which is right in front of the airport and it goes to Du College metro station which is 2 stations away from Namur(Hippodrome station).
211 - It also stops at Dorval and it's an express so it goes straight up to Lionel-Groulx metro where you can take the metro to whatever hotel you're at downtown.
The fare is 3 dollars for both metro(subway to our non-montrealer friends) and bus. The STM also has that cute U2 card that is 5 bucks for each day of the show and you can take as many buses and metros as you want.
Well, there is an advantage to being a poor student that can't afford a car, after all...
redkat +1 or 2
Maryann if you use your U.S phone make sure you turn off roaming. Sprint put me on a temp. worldwide plan so I can call, text or use wifi for FREE , but if I don't turn off the roaming setting she said a 4 day trip could easily cost me $600. You might want to call Verizon to see if they have a similar plan.
Yeah I guess...anything's tentative: but I'm sort of surprised that they're willing to even suggest 4pm as an option (especially since most shows have been giving a tentative time of 5pm).
Usually for Red Zone, ppl usually line up at 3pm with the expectation of getting in at 5pm or a bit later. But with this recent email, I'm wondering if it'd be better to line up at 2pm or so instead. Anybody else doing Red Zone here?
Baltimore was an absolute sauna at 95 and high humidity
Can't wait for whatever Montreal brings though.
(maybe Bad )
Baltimore was an absolute sauna at 95 and high humidity - even at show time it was hovering in the high 80s-90ish, whereas in Montreal it will be low-mid 70s so it will be refreshing!
So 27C is about 80F, +5C for humidity, that's 89F. Pshaw - that's a cakewalk where I come from. It's been 108F here for the last week or more so 90 will feel great - LOL Although I will freely admit that humidity is a fairly foreign concept *packs extra shirts, extra deodorant and some Body Glide (for those of you non-athletes, get yer mind out of the gutter - it's to prevent chaffing from shoes or clothing when you're wet and sweaty)*
I have had heatstroke as a kid, so any kind of extreme heat bothers me. We are not accustomed to that kind of temperature here. It happens every so often, but it isn't the norm, and remember, I spend half of my life in the snow!
^ I hear you with the snow. We just had our 3rd snowiest winter this past year.
I am hoping for lots of shade somewhere on the site to beat the heat and sun. The sun is my worst enemy...you will probably spot me slapping sunscreen on all day and wearing a sun hat.
I'm bringing a big ass umbrella to the line, and only lining up for night 2. I have a nice posse that is soundboarding it too. Just heard from another acquaintance from Winnipeg that they are soundboarding. Should be fun!
... and I just depend on the kindness of others. The only line item I'll have with me is sunscreen.
