So, what are we dejected losers gonna do tomorrow night to console ourselves?

[U2SJ]

Thanks!!! I am beyond thrilled and still cant believe. I have never won anything and try all the time!
Im taking my good friend since age 5, she gave me my first U2 tape (Under a Blood Red Sky") and she and her Dad took me to my first ever U2 show on 11/15/1987...!!!

Congrats to all that have won!!

So is it every hour and every half hour today? I got through at like 8:02 today got all excited but was told to call back at 9:20.
Does this make sense, I thought it would be 9 or 9:30?

[trojanchick99]

No more ticket giveaways today.

I actually got through and was going to be on that Kevin and Bean whistling contest but someone else won before I was on the air. So close!

[Martinski]

Well i am not at all envious at all at the people that gets to see U2 in a club tonight.

[last unicorn]

Does anyone else think U2 might get Lykke Li in for that show? Maybe they think The Troubles will work better in a small club environment. I can totally see that happen. I'd love to have it happen on the "regular" tour as well, though.

Clearly they are going to do Joshua Tree front-to-back followed by A Sort of Homecoming, Acrobat, and Please

Picture the riot here if they played all those songs at the Roxy and there only!

[bono_212]

Guys... I'm just sad as fuck today. . Not sure what else to say.

[Partyslammer]

Probably a shorter than arena typical set tonight, more than 20 songs would be a surprise, imo. I would bet the opening four pack will be the same, maybe both OOC and EC padding it out to 5 songs, 11 O' Clock Tick Tock is almost a sure thing as well as maybe all 3 Rattle and Hum tracks (Desire, WLCTT, AOH) they've been playing so far. The stripped version of California is a good bet as well. Good odds they'll close again with "40."

I would not expect some of the more production-heavy songs tonight such as Cederwood Road, SBS, UTEOTW, Invisible, Bullet, COBL. Probably one of the bigger wild cards is actually going to be whether they play Streets or not.

Congrats to all going, hopefully security and good cell coverage will let people Periscope tonight.

[AllIWantIs]

Good luck and congratulations to everyone who is getting into the Roxy show!
Just as a heads up, I have an experience with a similar type of show at the Roxy I got into back in October 2007 to see the Sex Pistols.

My heads up to the winners (and I really hope it’s not the same case here) cameras and cell phones were not allowed in the venue.
As we all waited in line outside the Roxy to get in we were warned multiple times that if they find a cell phone or camera in our possession on the way into the venue, we would not be allowed in.
However… after we got inside there was a guy from Germany in the crowd who turned to face me and reached deep down into the crotch of his pants and pulled out…. a cell phone.
He took pictures that night without getting caught.
Good luck!

[corianderstem]

oh man, we are going to be a bunch of fucking sad pandas if they aren't allowing in cell phones so we can get any streams or bootlegs.

[galactic2154]

Few more hours and I'm headed there. Luckily dialed in on Tuesday 5/26 at 5 PM and got through. Of course, after 100s of busy signals throughout that day and the prior week.

I definitely don't agree with this. Kroq says no lining up before 5:30 so I'm going to get in line and that will be my spot to the front. Don't get the deal of these people assigning numbers when the entire competition is not even over with. It's like who are you to judge who gets to the front unless news is sent out to every person that wins to meet to get a number. Not everyone has the accessibility to get to West Hollywood to get "numbers".

I was ousted of the circle for 360 at the Rose Bowl even though I was there since 7:00 am that day.

[ForgettableFire]

There are already a dozen people down there. I find this very annoying because a 5:30 start time should allow for people to get there and be at the front without having to stand somewhere all day. Not to be bitter about the amazing experience I'm about to have but as someone who has to sit at my job for most of the day, it's annoying when people are flat out ignoring this one request they made of us (especially when the third person in that line is my friend who doesn't even have a ticket!)
