any advice for a U2 tour virgin?

[burlesquebaby]

this is my first tour, I've been a fan since the beginning, but never had the means to go to a show. I'm hoping to get tix through U2.com, tomorrow. Do you think they start at 10:00 eastern time? Anyway, just feeling a little lost...but SO excited!!

same here.

depends on which venue you are trying to go to. If you want tickets to see u2 in NY, that would be 10:00 am eastern time. IF it's San Diego you want, then it's 10:00 am pacific, or 1:00 ET.

thanks, that makes sense. I'm hoping for SD, LA and SF. NY would be too cool.

i want NY. I need NY. Only one date for madison square won't be easy, if these u2.com memberships actually hold up to their $40 values, then we will be set. I'd love some "golden circle tickets" to see the greatest band ever at the most legendary arena ever.

Here's some advice and a little hope for you - The last time I was in New York was June 2001 - I had planned to take the bus from Montreal to see if I could "get in" to the U2 show - I arrived in New York with very little money and to make things worse my usual contacts in NYC were out of town. With no where to stay I checked into a somewhat fleabag hotel for about $ 40 per night - the night of the show I hoped on a bus leaving from Times Square to New Jersey - WITH NO TICKET!!! I arrived at the arena in New Jersey hoping to somehow sneak in or buy a ticket - at first this looked impossible but after walking the perimeter a few times I came across a group of "fans" who told me to stay put and hopefully there will be last minute General Admission tickets after P.J. Harvey's set - to make a long story shorter - WE ALL GOT IN!!! AND WE GOT THE CHEAPEST AND BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE...THE FLOOR. It was a great show and even though you don't have a ticket IT STILL CAN HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to all.
