The Temple Bar - Gearing up for ROCKTEMBER - UYMFA!

[redhotswami]

I arrive by train at 11:30 a.m. The station is very close to the stadium, so I'm just going to walk on over.

1130 am tomorrow?? damn! well cool, i'll see ya at night then.

i can't hang out after the shows. i gotta come home and go to class the next day. i *might* be able to hang out on friday night in toronto, though. depending on how much studying i get done. my plan is to lock myself in the library after my 10am class. so perhaps i can meet up with y'all for a late dinner and drinks? saturday is looking like a no-go though, since i'll be busy all day sunday, and going to kings of leon in london that night.

sorry i gotta be lame. my schedule changed completely last week. now i have to exams next week and i gotta catch up with those classes. with all the fun going on during the weekday evenings, i really need to reserve all day saturday and most of friday to studying.

morning bar patrons

2 days!!!

sooo, there are apparently 2 different gates for GA? This could make for some confusing times in line

 

[BoMac]

Wait...what?

Where do I go, then?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

no one seems to know

fucking GA

 

[BoMac]

We never had these issues in Montreal.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

some people have Gate 1 printed on their tickets, some have Gate 15, you can see in this seating chart they're both on the North end of the stadium East or West of the Hard Rock Hotel:

[BoMac]

Just looked at my tickets. Wednesday's ticket says enter Gate 15, while Thursday's says Gate 1

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

every time I trick myself into getting GA tickets and every time I get more and more frustrated...

 

[BoMac]

I still think it's going to be alot of fun. Of course, I'm basing this on experiences here. This is my first GA lineup experience for any band outside my hometown.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I remember having a decent time for both Elevation shows but the first show for Vertigo was pure torture, the second night I was more prepared so it went ok.

This time around I dunno. ladywiththespinning head is going to ask Rogers Center/TM on her lunch break about this but I'm not holding my breath for a concrete answer since everybody you talk to about this sort of thing always has a different answer

I just hope we can still hang out if we are in different lines... When I go home for lunch, I'll check my ticket.

Morning, bar!

Definitely



I see there's a new Elfa sig

 

[kafrun]

Hey Barflies!
So what's the deal with tomorrow? When is everyone getting in to TO?

Good question. What is everyone else doing? I'm thinking of heading in in the afternoon. I'm only a couple of hours away, so I can hop on the train anytime.

Anything will be more fun than the Chicago line

I hope so. I couldn't hang out with The Mia in the line in Chicago, so that has to be remedied.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

So my Wednesday GAs say Gate 1... BoMac, I'm affraid I'll only be able to visit

 

[U2Girl1978]

You guys are going to have an amazing time. I wish I could go to more shows.

Oh and I am so glad that I kept my reservation cancellation at the other hotel I was going to stay at. Apparently they decided to charge me a no show fee and left me in the negative balance. What a way to start a Monday!

omg i had such a blast perusing the GA!!!! sorry your experience wasn't as fun

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

mia, what gate are you lining up in? 1 or 15?

 

[BoMac]

Yeah, inquiring minds would like to know.

Elfa, are you going to night 2?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I am but I have semi-douchebag seats

 

[BoMac]

Bastard.

This means your life will be spared this time. However, there must be a way to meet up on the floor somehow, as I would like to experience the show with you guys.

 

[redhotswami]

I'm at #1. 1 as in the same number of Toronto shows NSfuckingW is going to! :hellyeah:

 

[kafrun]

I've got two tickets, one for gate 1 and one for gate 15.

WTF, I hope you got that sorted out!

omg i had such a blast perusing the GA!!!! sorry your experience wasn't as fun

It was fun until the sun kicked in full force. You guys were lucky with the shade.

 

[BoMac]

NSW is going to TO? Awesome!

Also, this sucks. If I line up at Gate 1, what are they going to do? Kick me out? They have to let me in, right? I can just pretend like I didn't know any better.

I'll show some cleave if I have to, in order to convince them.

I really don't know... I don't see the harm... On the other hand, do you think they would pull some kind of shit like make you go to the other line after waiting all day in the wrong one? Who knows?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I've got two tickets, one for gate 1 and one for gate 15.

gate 1 day 1, gate 15 day 2?

 

[Thora]

I've got two tickets, one for gate 1 and one for gate 15.

If you have an extra ticket, you should have sent that my way! Along with airfare, of course!

 

[kafrun]

Hey, I didn't get to see any cleave in Chicago

gate 1 day 1, gate 15 day 2?

Oops, should clarify that's for night 2. One ticket is for my brother. I'm picking up a night 1 ticket from a guy, so I don't know what gate I'll be at yet.
