    2017 Live JT Vocals As Compared to 1987

    I find Exit to be superior in this tour, vocally and musically to that of '87......pretty much in all aspects. It is thematically consistent as well which I think really adds a lot to the song. There just seems to be more anger and intensity to the 2017 performances. I've become a fan of...

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    That Dublin queue was Marquis de Sade-esque. (I exaggerate a bit) :wink: Tiny little cattle chutes. We were all over each other, and definitely no way to stretch out. Thank God the weather in Dublin in July was nice...and those days were like low 70's.

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    Christ, you guys and gals have balls swinging closer to the ground than I could ever hope to have. I'm just happy to get a rail spot (wherever), good sight lines and sound. I don't have any such memorabilia, but good for y'all. Although Bono did sing to my son during 360. I guess that's "my"...

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    Depends on the venue. Philly allowed non-clear bags. My wife brought in a black shoulder bag with all sorts of stuff in there, no clear bags

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    Ah, ok. Those were the details I was missing. Still sounds like a massive fuck up, even though those in positions 1-40 still got where they needed to be. So pretty much all the check-in's and everything were fairly useless for anyone beyond #40? I mean, they were up to roughly #200 before...

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    Ask that question to the gal at the top of the tree who caught Bono's backwashed waterbottle and quite literally looked like her head was going to explode :lol:

    It's GA "line" shenanigan time!

    Re: Philly GA After some of that FB group drama referenced above, didn't there exist a major shitshow for GA anyway caused by the venue that essentially neutered the line/list process anyway? I wasn't in GA, but was talking with someone who was (and was livid) and they had been one of the...

    How crowded is Red Zone?

    Haven't been to JT17 RZ yet (doing so in Philly though), but for 360 it was a fantastic and relaxing experience. Strolled in at a reasonable hour, easy to get a nice spot, go back and forth to the bathroom, and there's a bar. At the time, our son was 11 I think. This time, he's 17 and about...

    Ticket stubs

    Yup, my "collector's ticket" for Dublin is pretty sweet. Nice plastic ticket with nice graphics complete with lanyard. Cheap upgrade.

    So Does Anyone Wanna Place Any Bets on the New RHMT Vocal?

    Lots of twists and turns and opinions in this debate. Be happy you can debate how the vocals will be to any of their songs on this upcoming tour or any future tour because there will come that day when they won't tour any longer. I'm a big fan of Rush, and whether you love or hate them (they...

    July 22, 2017 - Dublin IE - Croke Park

    Nope...but don't expect them for awhile either. For 360 I didn't get mine till really just a few weeks before the show. Not worried :)

    What age would my kids truly appreciate U2 show? (&Can I buy your EXIT presale code?)

    It worked out great, he was a trooper. We got to Croke Park at around 5:45-6am were roughly around 110th in line. We literally spent the whole day just chilling out in line. Keep in mind, Dublin in July on that day was about 70-75F (from my recollection), so it was comfortable. Plenty of...

    What age would my kids truly appreciate U2 show? (&Can I buy your EXIT presale code?)

    We took our 9 year old over to Dublin for 360, went to 2 shows. 1 was GA where we camped out from 5:45am. He went to a total of 4 shows that tour. (one was RZ) This year, he (now 16) is joining his 10 year old sister going to Dublin and a few shows here in the States. He absolutely...

    Croke pitch 1& pitch 2?

    I agree. For 360 the whole town was ablaze in U2 (save the neighborhood surrounding Croke). We walked from our hotel near St. Stephen's Green to the Guinness factory store, and at the bar atop it it was one big U2 party. All U2 tunes playing, absolutely packed. We stumbled back to the hotel...

    June 18, 2017 - Philadelphia, PA - Lincoln Financial Field

    One would think so, but at this point, I don't think it's going to happen. They've listed all their dates, and then the added dates. I'd be super surprised if they added a Sat show, even if it's doable in their schedule.

    How did resellers have tickets before they went on sale? Answers in this article.

    Oh the whole style going song by song attempting to tie it all in was garbage. I stopped reading after I got the gist of the "speculative ticket sales" information. It wasn't enjoyable at all, but it was informative. It was interesting to me, because in one of the RZ threads, someone was...

    How did resellers have tickets before they went on sale? Answers in this article.

    Interesting. It also explains all the Red Zone tix for sale on re-sale sites that technically cannot be resold. Speculative ticket selling.....selling RZ tix that cannot be bought or re-sold by them, but they still will find a sucker anyway.

    Red Zone or 3 GA tickets?

    Then you, Sir, are supremely talented........and probably were by yourself? If you were with people, i'm even more impressed :) I was at the Giant's Stadium show, but not in GA, so have no clue how that floor looked. Philly had a long long line, and Dublin, it was every man for himself...

    Red Zone or 3 GA tickets?

    Depends on your situation and what you value, like has been said above. Are you married? Single? Are you going alone? Bringing a spouse? Bringing kids? How do you feel about getting super close and what it takes to get there? I did multiple shows for 360, and some of them were Red Zone...

    Joshua Tree Tour 2017 - Rumors & General Discussion

    Depends on the type of person you are too, and how much you are bothered or influenced by political messages in music. I get the political messages of U2 and Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Roger Waters.....doesn't mean that those messages are the main influences as to why I listen, and I certainly...

    2017 Joshua Tree Tour: Ticket Prices

    That was my experience too. Had both running at the same time. Chrome crawled, searching and searching. The app came up with RZ tix almost immediately.

    2017 Joshua Tree Tour: Ticket Prices

    That's very very interesting. My order history states my tickets as: "REDZNE GA0". Did it tell you that you have to pick yours up at a specific Red Zone labeled Will Call? (ours did) Btw, the 360 Red Zone was done differently...they were auctions. Depending upon city, you could get RZ very...

    July 22, 2017 - Dublin IE - Croke Park

    Yup, don't stress it. Came for me in plenty of time for '09. May come earlier than that.......things are a bit more relaxed over in IE ;) Btw, i'm surprised this thread isn't more hopping than it is. Back in '09 we had separate threads for Croke 1, 2, and 3 and they were all very active...

    2017 Joshua Tree Tour: Ticket Prices

    I didn't do RZ for I&E, but did for 360 and I think this time it's vastly improved, just by looking at the diagrams anyway. RZ 360 was off to the side and outside (but right up against) the golden circle (Edge side/Adam side). This time, it appears it's just one section directly in front of...
