Just a little update about Vienna and for everyone going/coming to Vienna:
Wheather is going to be so/so, take some warm clothing, a raincoat, though Monday should be fine, at least in the afternoon/evening, but we have some strong winds here and now they can really cool the air down, it's practically fall. However, I'm sure we won't be freezing during the concert
Don't know anything about security measures concerning bottles and such, but cameras will be fine and 0.5 litre water bottles should be fine, too. I took them in for practically every concert I saw in that stadium. There are 2 GA entrances, both through a short tunnel, no steps. Usually the entrances are on the other side of the stadium, vis à vis of the stage:

I was at the stadium today. Vienna public transport is excellent, the metro line U2, of course easy to remember, takes you directly to the stadium, and they have a special system at large events where all the doors open and people are let in in certain intervals by security staff to avoid that the trains and platforms get too crowded.
Concert is officially sold out with a maximum capacity of 72.000, the biggest number of people in that stadium ever.
Claw is already being built, however no tip to see yet, only the cranes and the basic structure. And of course an awful lot of trucks in front of the stadium. Here are some pictures I took:

Construction work inside the stadium:
I have no idea when the band will arrive in Vienna or if they come here from Moscow directly. Rumours are saying they'll fly in from Nizza, maybe there will be a soundcheck on Sunday. We'll keep you updated.
Everyone coming to Vienna for the weekend already: Enjoy your trip and our beautiful city
Claw construction is said to begin today, though it's rainy here today. I have no idea when the band will arrive here, but media is already full with U2 stories, hype is massive. So exciting
That's cool
