Yeah, I have very rarely seen shady stuff going on at the top of the line. Its happened once in a while, but if I had to guess, I'd say 97% of the GA people are there without cutting a line or doing anything weird. I don't know, this tour everyone is just chill and mellow in lines.

Typical 'Check-In' times. (Example: Day before the show from 6-8 pm and day of show 7 am)

Came back home over the weekend after doing the first 4 shows all with GA. There was literally ZERO drama in any of the lines. Everybody understood, respected and followed the rules in Tulsa, St Louis and San Jose. What is this drama that this forum talks about? Seriously, what drama?

You guys are so naive. Live Nation is a publicly traded company. The only thing that matters is the shareholder value. And in the past 5 years, the stock has doubled in price. So why would they change what is working perfectly?

I was 14 when elevation happened. Sadly, more into Green Day and Blink 182 at that point :doh: See you in St Louis then. Bring your Dwyane Wade Miami Vice jersey.

Hey Mc_Fly, Im a Miami fan too. Im sure we must have crossed paths in 2005, 2011 or last year. Curious which shows you are doing this tour? Im heading to Tulsa, St Louis and NY3 but yeah, still bummed they aren't playing home.

Same in Miami. They played a college basketball arena (10.000 seats) and it was half empty. Too bad because it was an amazing show.

Tried to edit the post title and it wouldnt let me :/

Music Legend Quincy Jones opens up in a new in-depth interview. Knowing the respect he has in the music industry, it holds weight. Not just another 'hater'. Link: http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html "Is U2 still making good music? [Shakes head.] Why not? I don’t...

I got an MSG3 GA in like two minutes. In and out, no problem. Arrived yesterday. Still have 2.5 codes left. Hoping for an extra leg.

Based on what/who ? What sources? What quote? Unless there is some ‘meat’ to this rumor, then its the same as me saying the toothfairy lives in Adam Clayton’s home.

New code. Got my MSG3 GA's yesterday with it.

I just want to say that now that the dust is settling on most of the pre-sales, I found a new development this tour. The Mobile App from Ticketmaster, which was working much better than the website the past few tours, became A LOT less reliable. Maybe more people caught on, and traffic...

You are correct! They keep breaking their low record year after year. This year they were down 24% from the final viewership of the 2017 edition.

The only thing that is inarguable is that ratings for the awards dropped dramatically from a year ago, reportedly reaching “an all-time low.” People tunning out in droves.

Having Bono and Sting etc so much in everyone's face is just too much. Especially when the young fresh blood is being ignored. Like Lorde not getting the chance to perform even though she was nominated for every major award. Same with Jay Z. Yet, there is time for Sting and Bono to show up...

Another/ smaller negative comment about U2's Grammys performance. But WAY more measured and valid to some fans. This one from Jon Pareles in the New York Times: "The song (Get out of your Own Way) doesn’t entirely add up — it veers between self-help and political resistance"

Some dude called Maeve Macdermott. Here’s the link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/01/28/grammy-awards-2018-brutally-honest-reviews-every-performance-ranked/1073461001/

Even the resale market is relatively cheap for stadiums. A GA ticket was only X2 face Value for most stadiums last year. Arena GA’s on the seecondary market are 4X or 5X face value.

A bit stunned that the 4th largest newspaper in the country killed U2 like this. Damn!

Wow, USA TODAY shreds U2’s Grammy performance as one of the night’s worst. “Next time, leave them on the barge until they decide to stop using the country’s legitimate traumas for their empty posturing.”

Great post.

Can’t have it all Brother. She is amazing in many other ways. Lets bring the topic back on target. Can’t believe opening night is still not sold out. Even with high prices.

Every marriage is different i suppose. Fact is U2 has been incredibly generous with their touring since 2015. So i have left the home for lots of shows (8) since 2015. So yeah it comes down to: “you spend too much on that band” (she’s right) “You spend too much of your vacation on that band”...

Funny you mention this. My U2 fandom may cost me my marriage. I have two shows scheduled this tour (Tulsa/St Louis) and wife is annoyed but accepting. I want to do many more, but it would be chaos with her. And i can afford it too and dont have kids. I dont see more shows just because im...
