I just found about rockbus.net -- it is a ride service to concerts just started in Mass. As of now it only does Comcast concerts but there is a " contact us" link where you can request shows. I requested U2 at Gillette. Maybe if enough of us do we can get them to run a bus or van down.

I just found about rockbus.net -- it is a ride service to concerts just starting out in Mass. Now it only services the Comcast Center concerts but if enough of us request U2 at Gillette maybe they will run a bus or van down. Rides are generally $20 or $25 round trip. Look for the "contact us" link and put in U2 Gillette. Thanks a lot!

Great idea. I sent a request.

 

[SFGAL]

[lauramullen]

I'm driving up from Jersey, so we are going to get a hotel near the stadium

 

[alexnq4]

I have 2 extra field GA for Monday 9/21, if anyone is interested go ahead and PM me. Thanks.

I was just curious --who here has been to Gillette in Boston? Is there any overhang in the lower levesl due to the upper level seating??

This would suck....

[U2morrow]

Yes there is an overhang above some of the lower level sections. If I recall there are 38 rows in the lower levels and something like the last 4 of the rows are covered. Not positive if that is 100% accurate but it's something like that.

 

[U2morrow]

I had a nightmare that I was under an overhang. And that there was also a hot dog cart blocking the view at the same time.

2 months and 19 days!

 

[daygloeyes2]

Tonight, I was talking to a guest I was waiting on and we got to talking about U2 at Gillette. Turns out, he is the head of security there. Very nice guy, and a good tipper too. Anyways, he told me all I have to do is email him with the list of things I need to bring with me because of my diabetes, and he would send me a letter that I can bring to verify that its ok to bring those things in with me. Yay! He also said no camping out either.

I am one of a group of 4 Interferencers going to the first Boston show and have been bumping "Need one GA tix for Boston 1" thread now for over 2 months. One of our members by accident selected a seat in the wrong area and now she'll have to sit alone if we don't get her a tix. So please, if you have an extra tix, please think of her. Thank you.

Now, lets hear it for U2 in Boston!

 

[lauramullen]

I'll keep an eye for you Val

 

[ladyhawke34]

I may have an extra, check your PMs.

 

[Val]

I may have an extra, check your PMs.

Ladyhawke may, but won't know until August, so please all, keep me in mind. I do appreciate it.

Ps If I get one, I'll post it in my "Need 1 GA for Boston 1 " thread.


Now back to ....U2 in Boston

 

[GretzkyU2Yanks]

anybody know if you have to pay to park at Gillette during shows or is it just for the Pats?

 

[lauramullen]

^Probably.

 

[u2power]

Anyone know how GA usually goes at Gillette? Where the line is, whether there will be "official" wristbands, or if people police themselves, etc? I know it's early, but this is my first GA concert and I'm afraid I'll get there and have no idea what to do.

 

[alexnq4]

Yes, you will have to pay for parking for U2. I would estimate there will be a range depending on how close you are and I'd say it will be generally $30-$40 based on Springsteen prices of years past.

 

[daygloeyes2]

I posted a thread in the what do you want/have section, but I'm looking for a GA for 9/20 for fellow interferencer Sad_Girl. PM either one of us if you can help a few sistas out!

 

[alexnq4]

Go to www.rockbus.net and check them out as an option for a ride to U2 at Gillette if you don't have a way of driving. They leave from South Station in Boston and from other areas in the state. They will only confirm a ride if enough people sign up so you can go and prepay and if they run the bus you are set for $25 and you have a stress free ride down, no parking charges, etc. If you wait until the bus is confirmed it usually goes up $5 so it should be $30 per person. Not a bad deal at all for those staying in Boston.

Yep, if they they didn't raise prices it should still be $40 to park at the stadium. The outside lots are usually cheaper but I'm not sure how much cheaper.

Have you or anyone you know ever used this service? I just heard about them the other day and passed the info on to someone, but I'm unfamiliar with the company.

 

[alexnq4]

I haven't personally used rockbus yet but I have reservations for Springsteen at the Comcast Center in August. I will report back how it is.

 

[agentorange]

Can someone from the Boston area post a website that has a pretty comprehensive nightlife listing for the city? I'm curious to know if any other good bands will be playing in town during the few days I'll be there.
Thanks!
