How dare U2 hold an event that I cannot go to. How dare they. This is a fuckin' outrage.

Man, U2 should make all their promo concerts 40+, so that their main fanbase with all the disposable income for the tour can attend. 
ok here's the deal... my guy who works at fordham tells me that they aren't going to let anyone on campus who doesn't have a fordham ID, student or staff. he says they plan on being very strict about this.
just wanted to let anyone know who thought they were coming from out of state (or further) to show up at your own risk because odds are you'll get as close as the front gate... which may be close enough to hear a muffled sound, but that's about it.

has the start time of the concert been confirmed yet?
RA's have been instructed not to give out any guest passes for today or tomorrow. security will be out in force over night and the hardcore crackdown on anyone not holding an ID is to begin around 4am.
unless you're a student, a faculty member, or you know somebody... ya ain't gettin' in.

I hope there's at least a few industrious Fordham students who know how to competently tape this stuff and share it with the internets.
I'm confused. I just struck a deal with this Fordham student off of craigslist. He said he was "in line" to get a guest pass - which I agreed to buy for $100. This was 11 AM EST. I'm only supposed to pay him when we meet, so I find it hard to see how he could think I could be scammed...

The show, or the people trying to sneak in and getting hauled away by security?
i have a friend who works in the athletic department and a former student who's a freshman there right now... i've been in contact with both of them. be very suspicious of any guest passes for tomorrow as you pretty much need to know someone to get one.
students are being told that guest passes will not be honored prior to noon tomorrow. so anything you get off of craigslist or e-bay, buy at your own risk.
on top of that guest passes are issued by student's RA's, so he should have to be waiting in a line for anything.
You mean he shouldn't?
Hmm. Does sound suspicious. It's weird though - it's hard to see how he could scam me when we're only supposed to meet outside the venue and walk in together. Short of an actual mugging....
Based on what you're saying, though, even a guest pass wouldn't suffice, right? Based on the 12 noon limit, that is.
Damn, I'm confused.

Fordham students obtaining guest passes do have to line up -- they're distributed in a limited number by an office in each dormitory, and they are in very high demand.
If he is meeting you outside the campus and walking in with you, you should have no problem. Make sure he is walking in with you and vouching for you though -- people with guest passes must be accompanied by their student host to get into Fordham!
Also they are still giving out guest passes today..!
Here are some snippets from an e-mail I received today:
1. The entrances will be open at 5:30am on Friday March 6. All students are invited to the Good Morning Fordham Breakfast that will be served in the Marketplace beginning at 5 a.m.
2. Students who have secured guest passes may have guests on the campus beginning Thursday evening and these guests may accompany hosts to Edwards Parade for this event. Students without passes may not bring guests onto campus or for the event.
5. Remember—this is the Good Morning America broadcast featuring U2. There are likely to be pauses in the music for commercials and other breaks.
6. Please wear warm clothing, warm boots or shoes and lots of layers! Depending on when you arrive, you may be standing on Edwards Parade for more than two hours.
I will be with friends at 5am, waiting for the entrances to open. We are most likely are going to pull an all-nighter... We are beyond excited!
I am a Fordham UG student; open to PMs if you have any questions

So if we get onto campus - will they then check our ID's? I want to go so badly but don't want to waste my time as well...or get arrested by CAMPUS COPS!!!! oh no! But seriously - if we were to get there and sneak onto campus around 5am would anyone be the wiser?
The Fordham campus is entirely gated (we are located in the Bronx after all). There is a security booth next to each entrance, and in order to get onto campus, you will need to show identification. Security tomorrow morning will be extremely, extremely tight.
I'd say IDs will probably be checked again before you can access the field where U2 will be performing. However, if you do get onto campus without an ID (the odds really aren't good considering how tight security is likely to be), you obviously would still be able to watch the show -- just not from the ideal location, which is the field in front of the stage.

I guess my guy was legit then. Too bad the Fordham Dean called him and warned him with disciplinary action if he went ahead and sold his pass. WTF? It was a free pass and no one else was interested in going, so what was the harm in me buying it off him???
God damn. I'm super disappointed. So close, but yet so far.

Anyone think they'll be checking for stuff like that? It is a free show, so...
