:)Ticket box opens at 4pm :)panic: ) and we should have credit card used to purchase ticket and photo idea ready to verify purchase.
I'll call the stadium and ticketek again on Thursday/ Friday just to confirm - 4pm seems late to me especially in light of the fact that other rzone ticket stands have opened much earlier on show day :shrug:

Yeah 4pm seems a bit late to me too. RZ usually goes in very shortly after the GA crowd, around 4:30 from memory for my show in Phoenix. I picked up my tickets at midday, & returned later in the afternoon to line up. Of course things vary show to show, & country to country, but 4pm does sound late.

Depending on whether you want a RZ rail (especially near the front claw leg), I'd recommend lining up an hour before gates open, so hopefully you'll be able to pick up your ticket before that.
 
:) just got hold of ticketek operator after nearly an hour :crack:
The info I was given was that rzone ticket holders will be able to collect tickets from the box office just near the main entrance to anz stadium. Ticket box opens at 4pm :)panic: ) and we should have credit card used to purchase ticket and photo idea ready to verify purchase.

Thanks for going through all that trouble, Purple.:hug: This week is going to fly by FAST.:applaud:

And next weekend won't even exist to me, since I'll be spending 14+ hours on a QANTAS 747.:crack:


I'm almost finished packing.:)

By the way- Seeing as how the weather in Sydney is going to be hot and sunny next week, I took it upon myself to use a pair of scissors in order to cut my jeans into shorts.:lol:
 
:lol: No problemo & pack wet weather gear too, weather is beyond hideous at the moment :crack:. . . woke up this morning to this email from u2360 / live nation . . . at first I thought it was from U2.com :doh: I know right, what was I thinking. . . :lol:

Hey guys,

Anyone going to be in the city on the Monday?

My wife and I are driving up from Canberra that morning and leaving our car at the venue. We'll be catching the train into the city at about mid day. We'll get the train back at about 4:55 frm Town Hall (QVB).

Incidently, for those with seats, PM me your email address and I will send you a quick spreadsheet I've made with train times from the City so you will get there some time between 5 and 5 30.

(If you have seats there's no real point being there any earlier!)

*ducks and runs*


:whistle:
 
Woot. They are setting up early???

That looks like late day 1, early day 2 of setup. Which means they'll be finished early Sat... Time for band rehearsals then?
 
What's the word on ticket sales to these shows?
First one sold out?
Second one isn't, I presume, but by how much?

BIG stadium. Looking forward to seeing how the claw is sized in it, even if only via pictures, from a distance. Must admit, knowing U2 are about to play Sydney and I'm not there, doesn't feel great!

From what I understand the first show is a definite sell out with Tuesday sales a little slower . . . they advertised in the Sunday papers this past weekend, but I don't think it will be that empty . . . no expert though and with ANZ being able to squeeze in 90,000 (?) if they're not all sold now I can't imagine there being a flood in these last few days . .. some other biggies in town as well :shrug: . . . maybe Oprah will suprise her audience on Tuesday and give a bunch away (and if she does . . .the better not be anywhere near me :lol: )

Sorry you won't be there :( . . . have seats for the first night so I too am looking forward to seeing the claw in all its glory . . . if the nuttiness that takes over allows me I'll try posting a few piccies for ya . . . mobile phone graininess and all :)

I thought there was only one claw here :shrug: but more than happy to see that the set up has begun . . . might have to have a trial *how to get there run* on Saturday . . . rehearsals would be fabbity . . . but did I read somewhere that rehearsals are only first city of a leg or something? I'm so sad I'd get a thrill out of some feedback though :laugh:


:hyper:

3 sleeps

:cabbagepatch:
 
Nah there are 2.

I read an article that said there were 3, but I can't see how that is necessary/possible.

Rehearsals arn't just first city things... I mean, they are in the context of preparing the show etc, but there is a chance that they come in briefly and use the stage to see how a new element fits.
 
You might have a brief 3-4 song rehearsal set. Maybe more, depends. But aside from at Auckland I think all the sound-checking has been done by the crew.
 
Well I'm off to Sydney tomorrow morning (Linkin Park tomorrow night :crack: ). Cricket on Sunday :love:

Anyway, I don't know if I'll be able to check in here until we get home next Thursday, so I hope everyone going Monday and Tuesday has a FANTASTIC time!! It's going to be an awesome couple of nights :drool: Still trying to decide on my plan for GA :lol:

Hopefully we might run into each other at some point. :wink:

I got this email from ticketek today... :)

Dear ticket holder,

I've got Glastonbury (which, if they pull it off - and I was there this year for Edge/Muse/Streets and it was... unbelievable - I think will end up being one of those singular, 'for the ages' U2 gigs), and praying these UK/Ireland rumours come true. If I get to see them in Dublin, with all respect, Sydney can shove it :wink:

I read an article that said there were 3, but I can't see how that is necessary/possible.

So you're ignoring a stated fact in a published article, presumably based on informed research, in favour of your own uninformed hypothesis?

Rehearsals arn't just first city things...

Do you have any examples of this on the 360 tour, apart from on-the-day pre-show soundchecks?
 
Now starting to get real bummed I won't see them in Sydney... in front of 90thou... and a chance to meet some really cool interferencers too...

:sigh:
