Am I forgetting anyone?

probably the easiest thing to do would be to quote this, and add your name to the list.

Bomac. Bomac will come. Elfa is lame, so he probably won't. Sigh.
 
Fine, I'm not going tomorrow if no one else is! :mad:

:wink:

I just talked to more people who bought their tickets in the public sale and they have tickets stating Gate #1. Looking increasingly likely that Fan Club Members have Gate #15, not that I actually think that guarantees any preferential treatment, unfortunately.

Hmm...well, I bought mine in the fan club sale, and got Gate #1.
 
What time do you think this will all go down on Thursday night? I have to work on Friday...heh.
 
By the way, how many of you are going to the Wednesday show? That's the only one I have tickets for.
 
Mine are both public sales and one says gate 1 another says gate 15..so who knows I don't think it really matters :shrug:

If I leave anyone off the list, I apologize, it's not intentional. I'm so scatterbrained right now. :reject: Just stick yourself on it.
 
got this in my email from rogers

Thank you for purchasing tickets to the U2 360° Tour. Rogers Centre is thrilled to be hosting the Grammy nominated and platinum-selling artists in what will be the concert experience of the year!

Below is some important information about the upcoming concert. We look forward to seeing you at Rogers Centre - enjoy the show ...



About The Show: This show has been described as "spectacular" and any other description of the show will not do this marvel of production justice. Lucky for you, you'll get to see it live! Here are some interesting tidbits of information to tie you over until show time:

- The stage has no defined front or back and is surrounded on all sides by the audience. The stage design also includes a cylindrical video screen.

- The inspiration for the design, nicknamed "the Claw", came from the landmark Theme Building in Los Angeles. The stage is built by the Belgian company Stageco, and construction requires the use of high-pressure and innovative hydraulic systems.

- The steel structure will be 164 feet tall and can hold up to 200 tonnes underneath it.

Opening Acts: Taking the stage at 7:00 p.m. is Snow Patrol. In 2003, they released their first album Final Straw which surpassed 4x platinum sales in the UK. Following it up with international success in 2006, when Eyes Open sold 4.7 million copies worldwide. The songs "Run", "Chasing Cars" and "Signal Fire" are among the band's biggest hits. Snow Patrol have been nominated for three BRIT Awards and have won five Meteor Ireland Music Awards. In 2008, the band released their fifth studio album A Hundred Million Suns. Worldwide, the band has sold over 7 million albums. Arrive early to make sure you leave plenty of time for gate entry so you don't miss any of Snow Patrol's performance.

Getting to Rogers Centre and Drop-offs: With over 58,000 fans set to descend upon Rogers Centre, public transit will be your best bet. For directions for both public tranit and parking, please click here. Limited underground parking is available off Bremner Blvd., across from Gate 8. Please note that the area surrounding Rogers Centre will be extremely congested. Unless arriving early, you will be best served by parking further away from the building and walking to Rogers Centre to avoid traffic.

Entrance Gates and Seat Map: Gates open at 5:00 p.m., two hours prior to the start of the performances. To help ease access to the venue and ensure guests find their seats quickly, please arrive early and enter only via the gate marked on your ticket. Gate 7 is available for special needs guests. Click here to see the seat map for the event.

Posters, Banners, Gifts etc.: We know that U2 fans are very passionate. For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, including sightline concerns, you will not be permitted to bring posters, banners and other such items inside Rogers Centre.

Price is $49.95 per person plus applicable taxes and seating is on a first come first serve basis. Groups of up to 8 guests can be accommodated. Full bar and lounge is also available.

One of the guys building the stage said 'the roof might be open BECAUSE U2 HAS REQUESTED IT BE OPEN'; he said this would improve the acoustics/sound.

I totally hope this is true. Been to several concerts over the years when it was formerly known as SKYDOME and have never been to a concert with the roof open ever. Has anyone been to a concert where the roof was opened? If so which musical artist was it for?

It's only recently with bands like COLDPLAY that the Rogers Centre has been used as a concert venue again. They simply got used to using the Air Canada Centre because it's been known to have much better sound that the Rogers Centre.

Didn't act quick enough to get tix for the 16th, but I'll see everyone on the 17th. :up::up:

Heh...well, count me in, I guess. I can't promise that I'll be able to stay long, but I'd love to, at least, stick around for a drink or two and meet you all.
