Oct. 20 - University of Phoenix Stadium - Arizona

[d.darroch]

A few new things from the U of PHX Stadium website:

1. General Admission line up starts at 7:00 a.m. near Gate 2 (North end of stadium).
2. Guests are allowed to bring one (1) factory-sealed, non-frozen, 500ml (16.9 fl oz) bottle of water in to the stadium. No soda, flavored water, or sports drinks.

Thanks bonoschild, good to see we can rehydrate, without having to leave the rail.

ps. See the PHX RZ auction closed at $130, a bit more than I expected. Higher than Dallas, Houston or Norman.

An auction starts for the Rose Bowl on Thursday (ending next Tuesday), for those that are interested.

Me too, although the packing is incomplete, & stressful!

We may even make a mad dash over the mexican border, so one of the members of our road tripin' crew can have some dental surgery done (what's up with US healthcare!).

The crazy road trip just got crazier!

Woah! wtf? Be careful.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Thanks for the water info Justin.

And what's up with the 7am thing? Last week it was 6am? Either way, in Dallas they said 9am but ppl were camped out starting at 2pm the day before.

I know I've said this before but I'm really excited to meet you all in line so make sure you wander around and find me. If it helps, my real name is Maryann - although some Aussies I'd never even spoken to found me in the Dallas line by asking for "Zooey from Interference". I felt like a celeb!

I'm not sure who d.darroch's friends are going to see, but my family has a dentist/surgeon in Mexico that they absolutely swear by (at least half a dozen family and friends have been going to see her for a decade or more). If you know what you are doing and who you are seeing, it's just as safe as pressing your luck with the American system.

But enough of that. U2! Less than a week! The last of my friends have backed out on me, so I guess it will be just me in line at the crack of dawn. Hopefully I can dig up a picture of myself somewhere around here and maybe get to meet a few of you in line. (Otherwise, just look for the really quiet and shy girl who seems to awkward to talk to people. =P)

 

[zuropa_fit]

I think I'll just make a "Hello My Name Is..." name tag and wear that and walk up and down the line

My friends aren't backing out of the concert but are "Rethinking" the whole get up at the buttcrack of dawn thing (wimps!) so we'll see how many of the original party of 7 I end up with!

 

[lemon_drop]

I'm in RZ 2 for PHX, and looking forward to meeting other U2 fans in the Valley.

Do you know if we can pick up our tickets on Monday or not?

We have a great dentist in Nogales as well.. great pricing. Yeah, that's what health care reform is all about.

same here. its been quite a mess on my end with that issue too. I'll definitely see ya'll there

 

[floweravalanche]

I have a shirt that says Hello my name is awesome maybe I should wear that shirt so everyone could find me in GA

Good thing we can have some water in the stadium, I wonder about food though, I don't want to bring some snacks for GA and find out I have to trow it out.

I'm challenging myself with my legs, I figure now that I'm working and I can be on my feet for 5-8 hours a day depending on my shift, I can do it for GA, now the running part I am not sure of. I can just use my friend as a shield and push through like linebackers to where ever we want to. Holding on to her as she has her hands out yelling on top of her lungs LOL.

 

[beau99]

I won't post a pic of myself on here, but uh...

If anyone sees this short guy wearing a pink Izod polo shirt with an autism pin, that might be me... lol.

 

[floweravalanche]

I just realized me and my friend may be screwed for Phoenix now, I verly have any money, and I don't get paid until next friday and I can't get ahold of her to make sure she has some money on her. Go figure stuff starting going bad now

Beau you rock for supporting autism and I have a cousin with autism

 

[beau99]

Ah, thank you

I'm not as affected as some, but I happen to be on the autism spectrum myself.

 

[U2ITNOL]

Wow, it's supposed to get up to 100 degrees here in Phoenix on Saturday. And I thought summer was behind us a few weeks ago once we got down to the 80's. I've lived here 30 years and I don't remember it ever getting up to 100 this late in October. By Tuesday it should be back down to 90, but that's still hot for this time of year. I'm glad I have the umbrella attachment for my folding chair as I'm pretty sure I'll need it for shade on Tuesday sitting in the GA line. Bring plenty of water!

SO glad to have RZ for this show. I think I'll be sitting comfortably indoors sipping cold adult beverages all day.

 

[beau99]

And I'm glad I have a seat on the club level.

A/C, baby

 

[JUSTinPUSHPLAY]

i'll be getting to the venue at 6am-ish, in my dark green vertigo 05 t-shirt, keep an eye out for me

 

[Mr. BAW]

SO glad to have RZ for this show. I think I'll be sitting comfortably indoors sipping cold adult beverages all day.

And I'll be sitting in nearby Margaritaville until the start of the show and then saunter on over...we're 8 rows from the floor. Adam's side...see you kids there!

 

[U2ITNOL]

I just got off the phone with my sister. She didn't have tickets yet for the Glendale show and has been checking Ticketmaster.com like mad the past few days hoping for good seats or GA to become available. She checked just a little while ago and was able to pull up a pair of seats in Section 109 Row 40 for $30 a ticket plus fees. This is a lower-level section right in the middle. Those seats would normally be $250 each, so how she was able to get them for $30 is beyond me.

 

[discothequeLP]

i'll be there hopefully before 7am. god i can barely sit still i have no idea how i'm going to sleep monday night

That's... odd, to say the least.

I'm Sec. 111 Row 8 and I paid $95 each.

There are several tickets available here in the want/need section.

 

[U2ITNOL]

There are still $30 lowers available on TM.com, but they're in the back of the stadium in Section 117.

Craziness! They're still available. Lowers in 109 &129, rows 40-41 for $30! may be a bit obstructed, but what do you expect for that price.

Good find U2ITNOL!

Ahh I c, and you're welcome!

I finally just got everything I needed for Phoenix, now waiting on my friend and praying she comes with the money she said she would etc, I haven't heard from her in like 2 weeks so I'm a bet nervous. But I got snacks and everything for GA, etc.

5 days!
