I wish he hadn't been kidding! I don't know what it is, I just can't stand that band.

Got tickets for the show at FedEx field. DBF is happy.

She's really looking forward to it. It's her first trip over to Europe too!

Just got tickets for NYC this morning for Sept. 25th! It's been 23 years since I've seen them on the Joshua Tree tour in Toronto. I was 17. Can't wait!!! Plus I've never been to NY. Soooo excited!

Just booked our hotel for Tampa. With the stadium holding 60k, I wanted to make sure I got a decent place not too far away. If I am such an avid planner with Disney vacations, it only seems right I would be the same with planning a show that isn't even till Oct!

I'm the same way!! I'm already looking into hotels too. However, Pasadena is only about 20 minutes from me and not sure I'll need one so we haven't booked anything yet.

Congrats to those of you who got tickets today! Unfortunately, I don't think any of my friends did well in the LA general onsale today. I haven't heard back from them and that's always a bad sign. I'm hoping they will add a show...fingers crossed.

I got four tickets to the Rose Bowl this Morning...Already had two. The show is still not sold out, so I dont see them adding another night.

The guy at the FYE I went to this morning was not the brightest(no points violation for me). I asked for 4 GA(field level) seats and he kept searching for BEST AVAILABLE, then he tells me that GA is sold out... NEXT PERSON IN LINE WALKS OUT WITH 4 GA tickets, I was not happy.

Yeah, I would have been pretty mad as well!! What kind of seats did you end up getting?

I got the $55 dollar seats on the side(corner of the endzone) Row 40, ROSE BOWL goes from row 1(first row from the field) all the way upto row 77. so they are about midway up, I think these kids will be for the kids but I am still looking for some field level GA seats.

My buddy has $250 seats(like fifth row at the fifty yard line), and I will probably sit with him and have his two kids sit with mine in the cheaper seats.

I want the GA seats just to see if I am chosen to get a wristband for inside the circle. If I dont scan inside the circle I will use one of the other options.

Just got my tickets for Vegas today but...I have no idea where my seats are!! We decided to go for the $95 seats since we won't be getting into Vegas until that day and I didn't want to be at the back of GA, however, the section we ended up with isn't on any seating chart that I looked up. I called UNLV and they claim our seats don't exsist yet but would be there for the concert. What does that mean??

Anyone else get tickets today??

Now I can finally book a room!!!

I've never heard of that!

 

[Dizneyholic]

Yeah, me either! I'm kind of nervous since the tickets weren't exactly cheap. They added on some pretty hefty service fees. I just want to know that our seats aren't too bad since I'm already bummed about not being down in GA with all the other super excited fans!!
The guy at the box office did tell me to call back in a few weeks and see if the seating chart had been updated. He sensed that I was not thrilled about not knowing and claimed not to worry that I would be happy. However, what's considered a good seat at a U2 show is always subjective!!

Ok, I got GA for Vegas! Woohoo!

Did you get a FB section? Then those are Field Bleacher seats behind the stage where there is an empty field! Somebody from U2.com called UNLV to ask about those since they aren't on the seating chart! They should be good! They are temporary seating so it'll be there for the concert!

Congrats on the GA!! However, yes, I do have FB and now that you've told me there are behind the stage I'm pretty upset!!! I don't think anything behind the stage should cost $250 dollars!!!! I really wish they would have been on the seating chart so that I knew where they were and could have picked something else! I feel like I totally wasted my presale code. So bummed now.

They weren't $95? My friends got some FB for $95 before all the fees. Ok, they are 250 with the fees. This is the smallest stadium on the tour. I got a behind the stage for Chicago 1 because I would rather be close to the stage then at the other end!

here are some pictures of FB tix (probably won't look like this but you'll be the same level as the stage and I would kill for those seats!

Be glad you got tix. People are having major problems with their presale code for Vegas!
