Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
just checked on ticketmaster. it's actually looking pretty good! I have every confidence that this show will be sold out by October 1st.
I'll probably be in the red zone.
Anyone from the area know how long I can expect the trip from Baltimore+picking up a friend at GWU+and heading down to Charlottesville will take? I've heard bad things about beltway traffic, but is it bad at 2pm on a Thursday??
I'm going to the DC show and I live in Jersey, so I'm going to get a hotel about half way between DC and Charlottesville. I'll stay the night between the shows and then campout for Charlottesville and then drive home after the show.
If I'd known Amtrak train to CVS from WIL costs the same as WIL-NYC, I would've planned to attend C'ville! Now they don't even have hotel rooms around the area anymore...
Not much there but the hills halfway between DC and Cville. I'd pick one area or the other for a hotel so you don't end up staying in some cheap-horror movie motel place. You'll see what I mean. I guess you could stay in Culpepper.
Only been to the U of V campus once during a campus tour a few years back, but man it was beautiful. I venture that this will be one of the most scenic surroundings for any U2 show I've seen/am planning on attending. /packs camera
Thanks for the travel tips--I'll definitely take advantage of the HOV lanes!

Grrrr. I wish I had gotten in to UVA!!
Oh I'm looking forward to the invasion! I can't wait to just get in line and camp out all day long. I have 3 best friends who are coming to the concert with me, 2 go to UVA, and 1 lives in my hometown. My friend from home is going to camp out with me, but my 2 friends at school aren't "sure" if they want to spend the whole day waiting in line. I'm putting all 3 friends through "U2 training" - showing them all the music and they are learning it. I just wish my friends from college could understand that this is such a big event, and for 6 months of anticipation, they may as well be at the front of the line and TRULY experience it! I hope I will be able to convince them by the time October 1st rolls around. They claim that they are going just to see a "big concert", but I know that as soon as it's over they will realize what a U2 show really is, and how there is nothing else in the world like it.

Nope, U2 has never played UVA before. I still can't believe it. Scott Stadium! All the football games I've watched there, I never imagined I'd be watching my favorite band play in that stadium. Rolling Stones did play at UVA, but I wasn't attending here at that point.
I should be pretty easy to spot, wearing this:
