October 12, 14 - Dallas/Houston

An update from Zuropa_fit:

Outer rail center. Security fuck up in the pit. They are saying the whole pit is red zone. People are going nuts. Someone will get hurt. Tattoo Dan Almost in tears. I would be too.

 

[RedRocksU2]

That sucks

 

[bonoschild2009]

Jesus- sounds like a mess in Dallas- good luck to everyone....

 

[kso]

Huge mess. Security tried to clear pit because, according to them, the pit is Red Zone. They started clearing pit from the back and called in cops because they lost control. The cops were threatening to arrest people who wouldn't leave. I guess it got resolved after about 15 minutes but people who had queued all day left the pit because they were afraid of being arrested.

Such bullshit. People were in tears, understandably. I would have been arrested because there is no way I would have left voluntarily.

 

[kellyahern]

How could they not know what the Red Zone is? That's just ridiculous.

 

[Dakotalola]

That's a nightmare. Those poor ga people

 

[lauramullen]

Yikes. I can't imagine Dan crying. I can picture him arguing

 

[Discoteque]

Freakin spire is CUT OFF! It's missing about half or more of the uppermost portion. Looks stupid and incomplete.

Thanks Jerry Jones. Oh and your cheap plastic seats suck too. Guess you splurged everywhere but for the comfort of your customers' asses. NICE.

 

[angel_28]

omg thats terrible I would have left and cried too...hope everyone is fine

 

[mskitkat]

Gosh sounds like a mess there i hope no one got hurt.

 

[kassandra]

That is terrible, how stupid can they be? That would be so frustrating, hope everyone got their spots back!

 

[sdunn]

That is just awful. You know what they say, you don't mess with Texas.

 

[MoodyJ]

Such bullshit. People were in tears, understandably. I would have been arrested because there is no way I would have left voluntarily.

How the heck could security not know that the pit wasn't Red Zone? Seroiusly? Don't they check these things out prior to the show? Those poor people who left

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

The only way security would be removing me from inner circle is by prying my cold dead fingers from a rail. I feel SO badly for those people. I hope Bono and Co. make up for it during the show!!!

 

[lauramullen]

Stupid secruity

 

[lauramullen]

In DC, they let the VIPs in first. U2's secruity yelled at the venue secruity for that. Hardly anyone in front of Bono was jumping up and down during the show.

 

[Sicy]

Holy crap! This is insane! Doesnt U2's team talk with security at each venue?? Cant it simply be solved by speaking to any of U2's team, which I'm sure there are hundreds there right now??

you would think that they would coordinate with U2 secuity and venue security somehow

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Srsly...U2's team would easily be able to point out the locations of Red Zones, inner circle GAs, and regular GAs. *headdesk*

 

[Rachel D.]

So did they kick everyone out of the inner circle? That would make me so mad if I was there! I hope everything works out for everyone there.

For Dallas experiences, lets move on to this thread http://www.u2interference.com/forum...-new-cowboys-stadium-dallas-texas-202404.html

Hopefully we will hear some first hand experiences.



Houston gatherings continue in this thread.

 

[rua17]

Not much info about tomorrow concert. The weather is so so, what happens if it rains? any picture of the claw in houston?

Arriving tomorrow at 11 at IAH and straight to the stadium

 

[last unicorn]

In DC, they let the VIPs in first. U2's secruity yelled at the venue secruity for that. Hardly anyone in front of Bono was jumping up and down during the show.

All these stories are just insane. Venue security seems to have the last say here, which is sad.

 

[vlasak]

I have some questions - has anyone been to a concert at Reliant? I've only been there for my daughters cheerleading competitions. I'm hoping the sound is good all over (unlike Dallas) cause I have a ticket in the 300's. Also, I was planning on arriving at 6:30, parking then finding my seat - hopefully before the lights go out. I don't care much about the Muse. Does it seem doable? Does anyone know if the lights go back on after The Muse, before U2?

 

[vlasak]

I have one more question - Does anyone know about when U2 finishes up? I'm going to stay at my sister-in-laws and I want to give her an approximate time.

 

[lauramullen]

Yes, the lights come back on. There is about a 45 minute break between Muse and U2

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

I am in 508 tomorrow (which really isnt as high up as it sounds) Row G, which is really Row 1. Very excited! It's about halfway up the side of the stage

SMB

 

[vandesa]

What do people think, is Reliant's roof going to be open or closed tomorrow by show time? If it is closed during the day will they keep it closed or will they open it? How long does it take to open?

 

[digitize]

I'm really hoping they open the roof, but it will probably be closed.

 

[eltimbomofo]

Just did a walk-around of the stadium. Couldn't find an early line of any kind either on property or off. Security told me to come back at 7am. Anyone heard if people are organizing off property prior to 7am?
