I have not heard the words "Live 105" in about 100 years *feels old*

Nice to see a little love for the East Bay
It's really nice they come to Oakland because it is close to where I am- just a couple of hours away. Otherwise it would not have been financially feasible for me to go to another concert.

I hear ya - I wouldn't do it if I didn't have family in the area to mooch off of stay with.
So how is the drive from the bay area to Seattle? I'm actually making a little vacation out of these two particular shows and plan to drive to Seattle on the 18th.

Thanks, I hadn't decided on what route to take yet, was just wondering if there were any must see things I should consider on the way.

and many more parts are drop dead boring. It's 12 hours from the Bay Area to Portland. Add another four hours on top of that.
I'll be flying.

no chance. Driving 10 miles over the speed limit in California, and five miles over in oregon (otherwise, you will get a ticket), and accounting for two stops for gas, it's 12 hours to Portland alone.

hi guys, I've got some official news. Some of which you already expected, and some explains why additional tickets went on sale.
"The show was sold out. Based on production, we added additional seats to the venue that are now for sale. This is the only U2 show in the Bay Area. There is not a second show. "

Thanks for the info romi, good to know so I can finalize travel plans.

YAY Comet!!!!! Glad you're coming.
Thanks for the info Romi, I figured as much.
And we used to drive from San Jose or Sacramento to Seattle every summer and it took about 16 hours.

What hotel is that? I'll be driving in. Sorry I still haven't had the chance to go through this thread. I'll try and do it at work today! 
Krisi 83 +me are booked in at the Holiday Inn Express Oakland Airport. Like Lauramullen says the airport hotels are closest to the stadium. We are going to dump the car at the hotel and hopefully use their shuttle bus to get to the stadium.

i'm planning to stay through the weekend to do all the touristy stuff in san francisco. the question is: do we stay in Oakland and take the bart up/drive to SF, or do we stay in SF and take the bart/drive for the show? anybody have advice on this?

Stay in San Francisco if you have some extra money. If you don't have extra money, get yourself a hotel room near SFO and take BART from there (shorter ride, safer, maybe even cheaper than Oakland).

Be careful walking in that area. It's not a safe place.

well, make sure you have Sunday the 13th completely clear. Laura wants to do Alcatraz, and you have to book that way in advance, fyi....
