Away, ye temptress!


I might do this show if there's a good seat sale on and I can crash on someone's hotel room floor. SIGH. Why don't U2 ever want me to get out of credit card debt?

Enabler.

That Olive Garden near the stadium has a line that rivals the U2 GA line

It's so worth the wait though

We can always go next door to Red Lobster if the line is too long

I love how a show not yet posted on u2.com has a four page thread.

Isn't this entire website almost an homage to what's not on U2.com.

Ps. Race you to Winnipeg Amy! How much you wanna bet we'll run into each other at my work the morning we're both leaving ha ha.

Seat map up on Ticketmaster

I know I can just guess that tomorrow AM there may, in fact, be a presale I am entitled to as a member of U2.com, and I may, in fact, be able to possibly purchase tickets to a show that they may, in fact, be nice enough to announce on the band's website before the tickets go on sale.

OMFG!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

YAY for the seating chart being put up

 

[EdgeFest]

FINALLY, DAMN IT.

Presale starts, as I figured, THURSDAY.

Same groups as Pittsburgh, Horizon/Breathe/Boots/Magnificient at 10am local, Cedar etc at 3pm local.

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Yay!! So excited!

 

[EdgeFest]

Anyone want to tear some shit up in in Irish pub the night before the show?

We'll be there Saturday... and someone local needs to give us "the pub" to go to. It needs a jukebox though and I'll provide the tunes

 

[daygloeyes2]

Wow, that stadium is tiny. If flights weren't between $600 and $700 from Boston, I would seriously be considering this show.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I've been to this stadium before for the Grey Cup when I was in high school. We had the highest seats at the very top and could still see great!

I think it'll be one of those shows where mostly every seat is good

 

[cleazer]

They made same mistake with Pittsburgh though, they had the U2.com presale starting on "Wednesday" when it first hit TM last week, and then it was changed to Thursday. We shall see, but I bet U2.com presale doesn't start until Thursday.

We should know tomorrow morning though

you = smart


(ticketmaster still says Wednesday as of right now)

I'm local but wouldn't a U2 pubcrawl get in the way of standing in line time?

 

[hintzer]

Does anyone know if they're having a venue/live nation presale? It was originally on the TM website...but was pulled off as of this morning. Is the only presale the u2.com one? A friend told me he heard the concert organizer say there was going to be no presales at all.

Saturday night... before the line...

(We are either RedZoning or $250 seating, so there will be some Guinness consumed the night before)

U2 > Tours > U2 360 TOUR

Thanks for the info.

When did we special Horizon people get demoted?

Yeah, I know, that kind of sucks. I'm a Breather, but I got some wicked seats when I bought for my Horizon buds on the Pittsburgh presale... first row on Edge's side in the closest section to the stage that were $90 seats.

I'm still SO debating whether I get $250 seats or go for the Red Zone auction... and I'm really REALLY torn....

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I was looking at the stadium website and found something kinda funny.

LOL - I totally saw that yesterday when I was looking. Love that Bono is in the header on the graphic up there too, but they fail putting him in Vertigo era clothes there - LOL!

For sure!!!!

It is incredibly tiny....The show I went to, I was in section x, row 4. The stage was not even on the field at all...It was located in front of the whole thing. Crazy to think that those same seats would be beside the claw! There seriouslty won't be a bad seat, and I am thinking GA's will be hard to get. I am renewing my membership to get new codes!

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Thank god Interpol isn't opening. I already have them 5 times

That is the curse of grabbing a good GA spot.

 

[ryancoke71]

I keep looking at that seating chart and drooling. The Claw takes up 3 of the 7 sections along the side!!!

 

[love_u2_adam]

I think i'm gonna come to this one.... hopefully if i can convince someone to go with me.

 

[sr99]

Congrats all Winnipeg U2 fans! It's been a long wait since '97. Just need to wait for the presale code.

...and the Canadinn(hotel!) is sold out!

ETA: It better not snow!!!
