Party Girl....? (cough) or maybe not.

Anyone in the UK got theirs? I was starting to wonder if mine was lost...

Here's a thought: I saw U2 at Manchester, UK on the Elevation Tour and the Vertigo Tour - first night in each case. Each time I was one of the first to get tickets in the scramble... then they added another show... If you checkout the setlists, they often add the newer or more interesting stuff...

Well (as I said in another thread) I saw a U2 tribute band recently and even they started and ended with Vertigo. But the main point is (end of show or whatever):- why play a song twice when there are so many others to choose from? Nevertheless I would rather see U2 play a song twice than go...

Missed the party 'cos I was at a gig in Halifax UK... ... watching a U2 tribute band ("Us4") play support to a Pink Floyd tribute band ("Off The Wall") in front of about 3000 people. The U2 tribute band started with Vertigo..... and ended with it. Can u believe it? They were pretty good tho :o)

Where did you read that please Ramblin Rose?

Its not a question of demand but of U2 releasing tickets in batches and holding some back to mess up the touts' profits.

My family bought one official t-shirt (£20) and outside the ground in the carpark at manchester after the event we bought three unofficial (better design) t-shirts for £15. Amazingly, the sales were cash only - so if you wanted a hoodie, t-shirt, programme and poster, you needed to be carrying...

One more: - As we went in there was no sign or mention of wristbands to get into the front section. Lots of complaints were made but we, like everyone else, were told to find a spot in the crowd,even though it was less than 1/2 full.It was only because my girlfriend felt ill later on that we...

And another extract:- After hours of speculation gates finally opened an hour late, however we found that the pit was already packed because security was appalling, we were bounced around from one place to the next trying to get a wrist band only to find that you only qualified if you were a...

Another extract from another fansite post:- I was lucky enough to end up in the 'Golden Circle' at the front, not through bribery or good looks (!) but because a friend of a friend sold me a Manchester City FC stewards' pass for the same value as a normal ticket. Funny thing was I didn't even...

Extract from a fan review of Manchester 1 on another fansite:- A man dressed in odd gear approached us and said: "You can get Vertigo up here." My friend laughed and I angrily chuckled at this reincarnation of E.T. Then he said: "Come with me where you can breathe a little easier." E.T. could...

I reckon: Mysterious Ways, Yahweh, Vertigo

50.00 in my post above should read 50,000 !

We arrived early even tho we had seats, but a lot of the seating was empty until after both support bands were done (Snow Patrol were great). We watched the standing crowd from above and certainly someone (stewards?) was handing out access to the "bomb shelter" randomly. Someone in U2 has to...

I have never seen a gig in Manchester without it raining. ever...! eg:- - U2 (twice 84/2001) - Big Country - Delirious? - Jethro Tull (6 times!) etc etc But it was always indoors... I too got soaked at Leeds Popmart, but the rain stopped after Cast finished their set. Praying for Tuesday...

Got my tickets... just! Postman delivered them to wrong address, but fortunately the people there know me. Thank you, God.....

"Was a wondering how many British fans are on these boards?" - Loads, Emily, loads. (and I will be at 14th June and MakePovertyHistory in Edinbro)

Any experienced fans know the aprox time that they turn up for a gig? When's the best time to be there?

A Celebration was only a single not on an album, but they did play it live during the War tour. I saw them play it at Lancaster University - Bono was actually wearing a "Celebration" t-shirt, which he pointed at during Edge's guitar intro instead of saying anything. I think they like the song...

I'm delighted Snow Patrol are support for Manchester. Great band. Begins to make the £85 tickets seem closer to good value. Incidentally the stuff from Tickettwister says the show starts at 17.30. Is this the "doors open" time. or are there other support bands???

I bought the triple "Sometimes" single at Woolworths today - but the staff don't know anything about the collectors box. Anyone else "in the know"?
