Agreed with everyone the RB GA line blew. But I had such an amazing time and had to mention a couple of angels I had out there.
I went from Vegas, the morning after the show straight to the RB. I got there around 1:30p. Was numbered low 100's in the Fan line, went back at 4:30p Saturday and got my red wristband. Around 7pm got my text we were official to come back at 7am. It was a foggy tired ride in and arrived around 6:30a Sunday. Went to Lot I as directed by "fan info." One lone older man told us another line had started and we woulc hang their or try our luck. I was not going to hang in a lot a mile away. So we went and found the line. Got in the back of the existing line. 2 girls with RB security numbered and cordoned off the first 250 people. I was just behind this group. Found out later their was all sorts of controversy with these girls/ fake U2 identification and so forth. I vigilantly watched what was going on all day. Security told us different info all day. My group numbered ourselves 251-301. Around 2pm we received RB wristbands. I packed up then. 4 bathrooms for how many GA people?
The swarm, push started around 4. Thank goodness our stuff was all packed. I lost one friend but amazingly she found us. We were squished beyond belief, I am short and had to keep asking what was going on. Then the front of the line had to wrap around to get to the gates. Very dangerous. Almost had my arm twisted off.
When gates opened my feet didn't touch the ground... No security/ bag check, hardly looked at my tix. Everyone ran. At the entrance of the tunnel, I slipped/ was pushed and fell in a 2 foot hole. Someone- THANK YOU- pulled me right out with one arm and ushered me/ pulled me through the tunnel entrance. I didn't have a scratch on me. I fell in without touching the sides??? The hole was full of electrical fat cords and I probably would have been trampled. AGAIN- thank you to whomever you were who pulled me out.
My friend beat me to the rail- never happened before. Another miracle and we were outer rail Adam's side. I had to contend with a tall drunk man next to me but it was all worth it. A woman running to the rail shortly after thew herself onto me. Weird then she took off.
Absolutely amazing show. Even could endure BEP's sunday night. Great crowd. No one crushed us once everyone was in place. I jumped up and down so much I couldn't walk yesterday. And of course I wore heels to work. Ouch.
After the show my car wouldn't start- Prius. I wondered earlier wouldn't a theif have a field day going through GA line people's cars. The alarm went off and drained the battery. I thought I would be there until Monday. AAA was there- in I kid you not- 5 minutes. I got right onto the highway and was home hours before most of my friends who shuttled, etc. Thank you again AAA

Hate to tell you but those "2 girls with fake id's attempting to run the line in the morning" did not get kicked to the back of the line. That earlier pix is not one of them. I ended up squished in the beginning of the mob in front of the gate next to them. They continued to be indignant yelling at people who had numbers higher than them. They made it to the outer rail after me and my 2 friends. One tried to squish her way more to the center which didn't work and they ended up a couple people down from me more to the outside of Adam's rail. They were in their 30's, married with kids and continued with a story (to my friend- a guy- couldn't help himself/ I refused to speak to them) about being there since wednesday, sleeping on the golf course and meeting crew and the crew asking them to help. Uhhh- please. I am sure we have pix but I won't post. One got real sick towards the end and her sister wouldn't help her. Karma???
