The Overhang: U2 at the MSG Sphere - General Discussion Thread Part 2

[cobl04]

Should I ask that question next?

(accidentally outs himself as poster on Facebook)

Facebook posts are terrible but you really outdid yourself with that one about you and your wife. Not sure there's many worst Facebook posts than that.

 

[TinKnight]

I'm telling you, someone needs to ask if U2 is actually playing or if this is just a movie.

Looks to be another spoiler from the inside:

I wasn't even trying. That's a 1 out of 10 of my oversharing.

We're going to need a spoiler policy, aren't we?

Not that this gives anything away - but it's a matter of time

The band will probably implement some type of no-phone policy once they move in and it’s going to be “stand as close as you can to the Sphere and try to make out what they’re rehearsing” from there on out.

That video isn’t revealing anything different to what we’ve already seen, except that there’s very little scaffolding left and the interior is going to look really fucking insane.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Is admin approval required for all new posts on the dumb Facebook group or do they just think I'm an asshole?

Or both?

Johnny Wang eat your heart out

Maybe this has been discussed, but do we think non-GAers will be sitting? Since it’s kind of a movie theater and, like, vertigo-inducing heights and stuff?

Most of my rafters section sat when I saw Springsteen.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I don't think those replaced hips will allow them to stand for very long

 

[clerks]

This venue is going to be a disaster for most of us who haven't even seen an iMAX movie as I'd throw up. Half the audience is going to die when they play Elevation and we try to jump and the 400 section comes raining down onto us and ironically the only thing to break their fall will be the OVERHANG.

U2 will look like ants down below and then like FUCKING MONSTERS on the screen 10000 feet tall.

Fuck you, Dolan. Fuck you, Vegas. Fuck you, Geometry.

In case you want to watch a live stream of an orb

If I wanted to see a giant fat thing not do anything, I'd watch my own reflection.

I think we can assume this latest video was taken from the very top of the 400s, based on the the visible back end of the screen

 

[cobl04]

It's fucking wild that they're charging so much more money for a seat that will be like 30 metres further forward with little to no improvement in view.

the extra $$ is for the shade of the overhang because there won't be any air conditioning.

Well you would be closer to the band... which, isn't that the point?

That’s kinda usually how it works, too.

"Fuck you, geometry" got me.

I thought Dolan wanted to sell *more* tickets than Postcards…

Esteemed company.

Gigantic grain of salt because that place is insane - but someone on the facepalm page says they spoke to Sphere guest services and were told the GA capacity is 1,800.

That would be really small

::grabs sharpie, writes 1800 on hand::

 

[clerks]

20,000 minus 17,500 equals 1800. Math checks out.

You have to figure 700 every show get denied entry due to cargo shorts, bag size violations and lanyards with fake badges.

 

[DaveC]

it would start a riot if they tried to ban cargo shorts at a U2 concert in 2023.

Oh shit imagine they won't let them in because they have fake badges?
