Shuttlecock IX: Romi and Miss Sil's Line Rules Disunion

[djerdap]

I think the main question is how close you are (geographically) to the show.

If you're a 3-hour flight or a 9-hour car travel away (like myself) from the closest venue... hell no.

 

[Axver]

Hell, I think the setlist is the worst of their entire career

I don't know, parts of 360 and the third leg of Elevation are serious contenders for that title.

 

[lazarus]

'Ello kidlets. How is this tour? Worth seeing? The setlist doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me.

The setlists are disappointing, but IMO they're playing with more energy than they have in a long time.

 

[Diemen]

Hell, I think the setlist is the worst of their entire career (including Boy when they were playing 11 songs every night)

The eyes, how they roll.

I'm seeing them tomorrow in Chicago (an ~8 hour drive away). I don't think I'll regret it.

 

[Diemen]

I know you had a good time at the shows, LM, so maybe the above post was a bit of an overreaction.

I suppose it goes to show you that the much of the setlist bitching itself is an overreaction - the shows are still great by most peoples' accounts.

 

[bono_212]

I think that's what lm was trying to say. Yeah, they're not ground breaking, but the shows are still some of the best I've seen from them.

 

[mikal]

Awesome to hear. Can't wait for the show this week!

 

[iron yuppie]

I want to go to one of these things, but not sure I want to pay close to $100 for a nosebleed seat, or $200 for something decent. Has anyone sat in the upper rows? If so, how is it up there?

 

[bono_212]

Upper rows behind the stage are a steal if you're looking for a cheap seat.

 

[iron yuppie]

Thanks...the view is alright from there?

I was near the top of the Forum and it was great. I'd try to get more center for that, as it's a better view, but even behind the stage isn't that bad.

 

[corianderstem]

If you're directly behind the stage, you won't see the screens, which would make it a no-go for me, honestly.

 

[bono_212]

My view

I loved my obstructed view seat. Money well spent.

If you get behind the stage and to the side you're basically set because Bono spends so much time on the E stage, and the band spends a decent amount of time on the catwalk, plus you can see the video board pretty ok.

It's a steal.

 

[Diemen]

Looks like I might have about the same view as you, Ashley, except on the opposite side of the arena behind the e stage.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I stumbled on that Rush vs U2 Live thread by accident, holy shit was that epic.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, and my ticket was 45 with fees. I couldn't believe it.

Not to rub it in, or anything.

A spot like this is basically my plan for one of the Toronto shows if I can't grab GA on a ticket drop. That's a better view than I figured it would be.

 

[iron yuppie]

Alright, so I bit on a ticket. I'm sure you were all waiting with great anticipation.

One more question: do you need a physical ticket or just a credit card to get into this damn thing? Seems to be conflicting information all over the place.

 

[corianderstem]

You only need the credit card for GA. All else should be hard copy ticket or e-ticket.

 

[mikal]

Welp. Gonna sign off until after the show Thursday to avoid any rehearsal spoilers (though I'm assuming there won't be any huge surprises).

If you know what I look like and see me in GA feel free to say hi. I won't be going out of my way to meet anyone because I will be day drinking with some buddies around town pretty close to showtime.

I want to be there this week so badly.


So.

Badly.

CK is not posting in the setlist party thread today, PM her on Twitter instead.

 

[corianderstem]

Except she already posted in the setlist party. That liar.

 

[Diemen]

Let's do this.

 

[No spoken words]

Have fun!!!

 

[u2popmofo]

I hope they play Linear in its entirety on the screen for you, Diemen.

 

[No spoken words]

Linear sucks.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Linear sucks.

True Detective.

 

[cobl04]

When they come down under in gonna do a mixlr or periscope and sing throughout and film myself just to piss people off.

 

[No spoken words]

You'll send DRay into a conniption.
