I'll be at the wednesday show.
i had two floor seats for the 11/21 show at madison square, and i couldn't go . . . which really made me mad, so i put them on ebay, thinking i'll make a little extra money off of them. i paid $54.00 each, put them on for what i paid, with no reserve or insane "buy it now" price, and i even gave free shipping. some woman from australia paid $710.00 for them. what a joke. i laughed.
wow, part of your mortage is now paid for this month!
i am going to both nights. and also the afi tommorow to watch "rattle and hum" on the big screen.
how i love that part in the film when the band is overlooking the mississippi river and "heartland" is playing in the background.

for Thursday, i've been invited for free in my friends box; but when i saw the Vertigo Tour in Anaheim in April, i paid about $160 for a seat…and not in the first few rows, either. and 'twas not scalped.
floor is general admission and they were only about $45-50.
Even though I am undoubtedly their biggest fan, I decided to skip MCI this time. Last tour, Bono had too many of the politicians there; Leahy, Helms, etc., etc., and he was just over the top…..even for Bono, trying to impress the big wigs a bit too much. Anyway, I hope he reigns it in a bit for you guys.
Enjoy! Saw only one show this tour and it was great….very similar to the last tour set up, but this tour, they are changing up the set list much more.
Lily1, are you serious about Rattle and Hum? I thought I was the only one in the world who dug that movie. ;) I was there for the premier in NYC…way back when.

Bono is Sting on steroids

were floor tickets cheaper than seats?
Yes. The floor tickets are very reasonable for a band that has been touring for 25 years. Plus, you get the chance to get inside the Oval (last tour it was the heart) and practically be a part of the show.
we're headed to the afi tommmorow night to see it! my friends don't have tickets to the show and they are giving a way a pair of tickets to each night's performance.
it starts at 7pm, we're meeting at 6.30pm if you want to join us.

and its all done by lottery to get inside the oval on this tour. when they scan your ticket and wristband you, its how it shows up in the scanner. if you come up lucky, you get another wristband and then get into the "inner circle", as they say. i found this out in philly where i had gen admin tickets and was fighting my way to get inside the oval. so while i didn't get inside the oval, i was happy to hear it was being based on a random lottery system for all those that had general admission tickets.

I'm sure someone might be interested to hear this will be my first U2 show sincew 1983 or 1984 – whenever they were on the "War" tour.

Kosmette and i will be there Thursday… Not the best seats but hopely not horrible either. Interesting about the random entrance into the Oval, of course is it done by pairs? That would bite if one person got in and not the other.
Then again after having a women attempt to crawl over me in order to "touch" Bono, even though I was a good three people deep from tip of the heart on the last tour, I'll let the crazy's have the GA spots.
