The line was a fucking mess yesterday.
This email from the u2-phoenix group sums everything up:
1. It was supposed to be setup with 2 lines one for
Presale or Fanclub members, the other for everyone
else. WRONG!
2. You were supposed to get numbered wristbands to
hold your place in line so you didn't have to be there
all day. WRONG!
It ended up being just like the Elevation Tour. First
come, first served. Everyone was to just get in line.
They are still going to do the ticket scanning to get
random people into THE CIRCLE, ELIPSE or BOMB SHELTER
- whatever it's called.
There were some fans that got there last night and
planned to camp out. Security said they had to pitch
their tents off property and directed them to the area
in which to do that. They told those fans to come
back at 9:00 am to start the line. There was a girl
that was heading everything she had the notebook to
sign in and also put numbers on your hand. In fact I
remember her and her book from the Elevation Tour.
There were probably 100 people or so in her group.
Anyway, when they came back in the morning, there was
already a queue of about 70 people. It seemed like a
gang fight between the 2 groups was about to break
out. People were yelling at eachother. Security had
no idea what to do.
I got there around 8:30 and overheard everything: the
debating back and forth with the head of security, the
arguing between the 2 groups, the non-decision making
ability by security. They said they were going to
have to call the Tour Manager to find out what to do.
