Just curious, who thinks that it would be a very good idea for U2.com to announce the security plans for the Ga line PRIOR to the first show? I.e., will there or will there not be a raffle to enter the building, which in years past has been on a first come first serve basis. Reasons it would be advantageous to do so....
1. The obvious...enquiring minds want to know!
2. Those of us w/jobs can work right up to the 28th, and not have to take as much time off of work as we had expected.
3. Let's face the truth....those of us who are used to lining-up overnight will do it one way or the other...rumours or not, because they may be just that....rumours! And it will also prevent a lot of people from being pissed off that, after having waited for hours or days in line, they may be put to the back of the line due to a raffle at 3pm the day of, which in my opinion will only add insult to injury after the ticketing fiasco.
All I keep thinking about is Elevation Boston #2....and how if the powers that be thought that those fans were angry, they probably ain't seen nothin until they impose a last minute/slightly rumoured raffle after fans have not just waited overnight but quite probably for days on end.
And the other thing is that we all know there may be a rumour of raffle, but it's not gonna stop anyone from lining up if the info only comes from Ticketbastard Canada....it has to come from U2.com for any of us to consider it a reliable source!
Who's with me on this?
