I need to know who is running the line and whether or not they're a U2 fan

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Also I am apparently not a "verified" fan for Nats Park.

This is apparently payback for not having to go through the process at Capital One Arena

 

[clerks]

My friend who has seen 100 shows by now is not verified either, me either...

So I look forward to the same thing happening on U2... I mean U2-1

If women and children get slapped, we'll know who it is.

 

[DeVaul]

I’m also among the great unverified.

Who’s getting slapped?

Verified here. I've seen him once.

I got waitlisted for Foxborough. But in the meantime booked the family summer vacation for that week, so Bruce wasn't happening anyway.

If they get slapped would they be VIKtims?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I was waitlisted. Do I have to check in 3 times per day at the Mahwah 7-11?

And write 69 on the back of your hand in Sharpie, keeping it there until the day of ticket sales, possibly the next day depending on how long it takes to get through the list.

I got a sixty-nine sharpied on the back of my hand
Memo pad and a chair on the floor
We’re waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store…

 

[clerks]

It seems that if you've seen Bruce a lot, that was a bad thing for the lottery -- I"m sure it was an attempt to make it more fair, but you know that just means the scalpers just got new accounts to sign up that they probably get daily...

I don't really care if I miss Bruce and if real fans got the tickets instead of me so be it, but we all know this is just as crappy as a free for all on sale date... I much prefer that...

These stadium show prices are something

 

[clerks]

quick look, unsure prices, but Bruce has 3 NJ shows, but not selling tickets to a lot of the stadium, behind the stage, sides, etc.... So probably what 40% less tickets... fun!

He's never sold those seats for stadium gigs at the meadowlands.

 

[DeVaul]

He's never sold those seats for stadium gigs at the meadowlands.

At least not until the Three SixtE-Street Tour

 

[clerks]

He's never sold those seats for stadium gigs at the meadowlands.

Then I’m just a fucking idiot. Carry on.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

paid $119 for upper 200 level seats at Nats Park this afternoon.

Paid $177 in fees on the four tickets i bought - alas...

 

[DeVaul]

That is not too bad. Side stage-y or past 1st/3rd?

I couldn’t abide by the Metlife prices.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

In between first base and the foul pole. So kinda side stagey but kinda not.

 

[DeVaul]

Oh that works FINE. Similar spot was over $200 at Metlife

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'm quite pleased.

i'm only not pleased about the $177 in fees. i, uh, only paid a 4 dollar processing fee for the Capital One Arena show later this week, so it took me by surprise.

 

[DeVaul]

It wasn’t even the fees so much as the exponential increase in base price since the last tour. The River 2016 got some heat when Bruce moved to tiered pricing structure and a top cost of $150-ish before fees. Now $150 plus fees for further back in the 2nd tier at a football stadium show with a no frills end stage? Nah
