I did that on purpose, for elfa
I don't know if this has been discussed already but I just read this on the Rogers Centre website:
"Those holding general admission floor tickets should enter via Gates 1 or 15 on the north side of the venue only."
Does this mean there will be two entrances for GA? Two lines? My tickets say "Enter gate 15." I'm kind of confused and nervous.

There was a diagram floating around of Rogers Centre, and it showed how many people are allowed in each section. If I remember correctly, I think the GA field was around 12,000-ish and another 2,000 - 2,500 in the pit. The picture was posted on here back around the time when the tour was announced, or when the tickets went on sale, or something. I'm pretty sure those numbers are close to what the diagram showed, and if I'm wrong, maybe someone can correct me, or find the picture?
I'm also fairly sure that there were around 400 people allowed into the ellipse on the Vertigo tour.
I think the reason people are still vying for early spots in the GA line despite so many spots available in the pit is because it seems that they're packing people into the pit like sardines in some venues this tour, so everyone wants to get good spots near the front, as opposed to being squished in the middle of the crowd.
Maybe one line for people who want to be in the inner circle/pit, and one for people who want to be in the main field area?
No friggin' kidding about being packed in like sardines. I got into the pit for Croke II and after about 10 minutes bailed and went out to the main field area. It's one thing to be packed in once the show actually starts, but no way could I handle being packed in like that for 4+ hours before U2 even hit the stage....
So no ticket lottery to get into the pit this tour? Just first come first serve?
Do we know when doors open?
