I've been to a few HRC shows and there wasn't a front 'D' section. There is also usually a second tent stage towards the back for HRC.
Too bad. :(
Since you've already been to HRC, how does is work, exactly? I mean, I went to their site (sen last years map etc), but how, in you opininon, would it work for PJ (10C queuing, in that case, time of arrival, what to do if you need to go to the toilet because you don't want to leave the front row etc).
Apparently, this was taken from the HRC, isn't a "D"?
look Beautiful!!!!
really it wasnt
I was close to the edge of the D there and it was still miles away. i could just about make out Michael Stipe from there without using the screens
the shitty bit? the front section was for the VIP's...yes Bob geldof doing exactly what he champions so much against, making a class system in the crowd......equality? yeah fucking right Bob.
Oh and those guys who got in that woefully under capacity front special bit.....could drink alcohol, yet noone else there could.....some more equality.
Yet bono , the king tit, and his U2 mates, did just this also on their vertigo tour - with those who paid the most getting closer on the GA floor....way to go Bono...equality for all. :twisted:

How 10c tickets work I'm not sure as I've not known of anything similar happening previously at HRC. There are several entrances so hopefully all 10c tickets will go in one entrance so the e-mail we receive a few days before hand will tell us which entrance to go to and what time tickets will be released. I would expect tickets to be handed out from about 12 as gates for normal ticket holders can open from 2ish.
In respect to being front row I would presume during the first couple of acts the people around you may be willing to let you go out to go to the toilets and come back but a few hours in that will stop so if you plan on being front row expect several hours of no toilet breaks.
If you are doing more than one show on the tour I would take this day to be the one show to chill out and enjoy with friends. Wander around eat food, enjoy the sun, have some beers ... watch things on the big screens

For Foos in Hyde Park in '06 I coughed up the extra tenner to be in the golder circle so it's not just U2 that pull this stuff

So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

I'm just being bitter about the U2 stance on these types of things around the world and then they go and do the segregation thing in the interests of more cash in their pockets.....I know many a band do these things, and fair play to them, they dont all preach to the world exactly the opposite principles....it bugs the life out of me that some of the U2 fans from the very start may have been with them all along the way and 20 years on they have to stand further back because they dont have the coin.....it stinks. really gets on my tits. The message is clear, those with the most cash are valued more and are 'bigger fans'.
The golden circle thing doesnt bother me generally, but to pay more to get into it with U2s ethos just plain sucks... couldnt they have done it on a first come first served basis? a lottery? Nope because its all about the money.
From the pics I'm trying to figure out where the VIP/viewing platform is. If I remember well it was somewhere to the right (when you were facing the stage)?

I know the semi circle was for the champagne people, and there was the jonathan ross bubble on the left hand side looking at the stage

It was especially for my girlfriend (I think I could wait several hours without pissing).

It's not that... it's actually a platform with seats.

Think pdalowsky is talking about Live8 what you're talking about at HRC red is in the first picture I posted on the previous page ... right hand (from where the photo is taken) side of the stage

The band doesnt want you to travel to the shows
and they do the best they can with festivals, but really they are just huge GA shows where the band has little control

And, no, I'm not doing any other show.
