Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Guess what? They started the GA "line" yesterday! God, I can't wait for the bitching when Red Zone gets let in first. "But I signed up for a list! Bono needs to see me on the rail!"
The best part is one of the people in the "line" being upset that it was advertised online. Seriously. They want it to be secret.
My kingdom for an announced lottery system of some sort coming out tomorrow after half these putzes have already "waited" in line for "days."
They'll be crying in their room service meals if that happens
What a Silly process.
Why do these people claim a Viktory by being on the rail?
I think the only people really being screwed with that are people from Vancouver. But at the same time, the Vancouverians (?) who care the most have being hanging around the stadium anyway for a few days.
Because if you're flying from out of town (or country, like me), you're more than a regular fan, and you would "know" that something like this would happen, specially for a tour opener. So you don't need to know when the line starts, you know there's a line.
Going to enjoy the fine dining experience a few blocks over in Yaletown before I pop over to the ga floor of BC Place, shortly before 7 or just after. Craft brews, a steak, and maybe some mussels. I don't think a line can do that for me.

What a joke. It really should be lottery or GTFO.Indeed, just walk by BC Place. About 6 people sittin on lawn chairs in a circle. Maybe one empty chair. They are only in the general vicinity of the front of the GA line though well outside the barriers. I saw a makeshift handmade "U2 GA" sign hanging off the barricades. Definitely unofficial.

they want an experience that will really push at you with its intensity.
Are they doing the whole "first 500 people get a wristband" deal so you can go early in the day, get a wristband, leave, and then show up before the show starts with a spot in line? Heard about that on Interference last tour and it worked great for LA3. We went to the venue in the morning, got our "place" in line, then busted around town for the rest of the day before heading back.
The question is though, with 6 people there physically, how many are on the list? I'll bet easily 25+. That's what they do, they all put in 3 hours on rotation a couple of times sitting there to maintain this line, and then go on and on the day of show about how they've 'been there since Wednesday' so they can show up at 3:46pm on show day and brag about how they 'just met the band'.
Each to their own I suppose, if that's what they want to do then FairPlay to them.
For me if I started queuing today and the gig was Friday night. I would want the gig to be over asap so I can go get a shower and sleep in my own bed. Would be way to much for me
I'll queue up early on the day that's the most I've done
It's over 70 at this point.
The Forum was the best at handling GA. That was a venue specific policy which kicked ass. We got wristbands, then hit Roscoes, then tailgated until doors.

Guess you aren't a real fan then.
From the guy who was mad the line was publicized:
