Diehard U2 fan lives her long-held dream

Diehard U2 fan lives her long-held dream And hopes the band can help as another dream shattered
A DREAM come true and another shattered — that’s been the lot of former Lennox Head woman Pam Albiston during the past few weeks.
The dream come true was meeting her music idols, U2, on the Gold Coast.
The shattered dream has been the RTA changing its mind on the Pacific Highway bypass route from near her Upper Coldstream home near Grafton, to one which now bisects her property, which she describes as a sanctuary for wildlife.
Meeting U2 and getting a ticket to the band’s Brisbane concert was no mean feat.
The money for the ticket was a promised gift from her parents — Albert and Lillian Bettens, who live at Lennox Head — five years ago on Pam’s 40th birthday.
Five years later, U2 announced the Australian leg of its tour and Albert and Lillian came good with the money.
To get a ticket Pam had to buy it from an outlet in Lismore, but she couldn’t make it early enough to join what was going to be a long queue.
So her parents drove to Lismore and queued from 7am, getting her a ticket. When U2 arrived on the Gold Coast this week Pam went to the coast and stayed with her children, hoping to catch a glimpse of the band.
On November 4 she lined up with other fans outside the hotel U2 was staying in. It rained so much that day that the lads stayed indoors and Pam’s three-hour wait in pouring rain was in vain.
Undaunted, Pam returned the next day, and this time, U2 delivered.
Pam finally got to meet her idol Bono, telling him he is ‘a ray of light in a dark world’. She gave him a package containing a note outlining her RTA woes, along with the RTA’s route map.
Does she think he can help save her property?
Meeting him was a dream come true, so why can’t another dream be- come a reality?
This would be you cass, right?
