In the later US shows on JT2017, the band didn't even soundcheck themselves. Crew did. Op, wonder why you're not getting PICked on.

That's hilarious and scary with the Ali thing. WhyTH was she without security, waiting for a cab in public like a pleb? Spouses should get the sameish protection at the band at their concerts. Ali is a celeb with the U2 crowd. Was this quite a few tours ago?

Hey wow, you're so lucky to actually have received a decent response. See my bullet point list of tips above. They have been arriving late to the stadium 4-5pm and even later. Good luck. I saw Bono once this year, that's all I need from here.

Hey thanks for reminding me of his site, which by this time would be updated for JT information. I gotta read it before my shows. Joe’s Guide to the U2 General Admission | U2 Online On The Horizon Between his site and catching you on the @ther forum (you're the same name, I'm not), that...

I didnt click play to avoid spoilers, but even front rail looked very far from the stage! Much further than 360 tour! Is this true? Can the band see you if you're in the first 3 rows? (I will never be in front, not even on Adam's side. But this is a stage question)

The south Americans and Europeans have the best stamina and fanaticism. Thank yeezy I'm doing the poorest selling USA show.

There are many lurkers during tour time. You can see facebook groups would be a better place to get functional answers. Whilst I was hoping for 2017 band arrival timings (and maybe even pictures), here's my "meet the band" experience from 1 show in 2015, also based on stuff I've read on...

I found this great thread from 2011 in PLEBA. Summary: be calm and quiet but wave excitedly. Otherwise you'll scare the band members like startled kitties. http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f233/how-to-meet-the-band-123532.html On that note, anyone met the band so far on the JT2017...

I'm very surprised U2 was able to sell out before Vertigo. It was only during Vertigo that Adam bloomed into Silver Fox smiley butterfly. I, for one, would not attend an Elevation because the pilgrimage is not worthy it to see quiet Elevation Adam's back :lol: Butt seriously. I don't get why...

If Cleveland was NOT the North American tour closer, it would not be sold out (is my guess). Vice versa, if they closed in Pittsburgh or God forbid Louisville, those would sell out as well.

This is a great idea. I could go to the ticket box office at ~3pm (when no one's there), show my CC and ID and request a paper ticket. So if the CC scanner is screwed, I have my paper ticket and can enter the GA floor. If the paper ticket gets wet/chewed by a dog/etc, I can still be scanned...

Darroch, great tips, seriously. I chug a lot a water the DAY BEFORE the show. So much so that I'm going to piddle every half hour or less. Day of, you have a good idea of drinking lots of water in the morning, then cutting off around 2pm. For me, I hate porta-potties or continuously sneaking...

Could we keep this thread spoiler-free of the set list? So... I've heard conflicting info (in this very thread) on how many songs are played on main stage vs. b-stage. Knowing U2, I'd guess 90% of songs are still on the main stage. Anyone who's seen show(s) so far can confirm?

Thanks for sharing. Great spot! You must have zoomed in a lot for that shot of Bono? Also, I didn't know they closed the dome in Vancouver! I thought all stadium shows were open air (ie: if it rains, everyone gets wet)

This is a great thread, really appreciate all the spoiler-free tips coming in. WOW You got a great spot. I can't believe that's second row (only 1 person from front rail). In an arena, that distance from Bono would be ~10 people deep. But WOW that's a great view. So it is true that the 11 JT...

Thanks darroch. You always make good analysis of the stage images. So the full drum kit at b-stage makes me think b-stage would get more than the typical "1-2" songs. Maybe B stage would get 3-4 songs this time. Can't believe RZ stretches from front until nearly the end of B-stage tree. This...

Cool. Thanks for putting the pic in. Have a sinking suspicion Willie is going for the "crowd of bodies in GA" vibe like on the original Joshua Tree. Does he think the main GA crowd will be people in their 20s jumping as a mass of bodies to hits like "Mothers of the Disappeared"? maybe Adam is...

In U2's new instagram pic (sorry I don't know how to post the pic), where is Adam standing in relation to the drumset? Is Adam on the b-stage? Makes the whole setup look verrrry small. :sad: Well, guess we'll see in about 1 day.

I just noticed on ticketmaster, the B-stage tree is now off-center, toward Edge's side (as we have seen from pics). Also, can't believe Pittsburgh GA sold out.

That snapchat pic angle makes the stage look tiny. Like a cosy arena stage.

Darroch that's a great analysis of the pic. So weird of Willie to chuck the B-stage off to the side. So Adam will be furthest from the B-stage. So it's a bit sad that people right under Adam's main spot (like Adam girls or whatnot) will have poor views of the B-stage. Much poorer view of B-stage...

nah bro, we joshin' an moshin' an lengthen' da thread fer no reasons man. Op, we've heard rumors that the stage is asymmetrical. Does that mean Edge will have more "rail estate" than Adam? Vice versa? Upthread people said some of Edge's "undernose space" will be RZ. Will RZ be on Edge's side...

how I have not missed interference. Op, wait till tour starts for useful answers.

I'll pay for gas both ways. I'm in Dayton OH (on I-75. close to I-70). I'm 1 female. Fun to chat about U2, Adam, GA, more U2.

Agree. If you want to wave at Edge, B-stage is your best bet when he's away from his pedal bank and he can look up! Also quite hard to wave at Bono, because he has to "perform to the back of the stadium". Again, your best bet to wave at Bono is at B-stage (where he looks into the crowd more...
