U2 fans have been lining up since yesterday afternoon for tonights show.

I've been to two of the U2 MSG shows so far, both on the GA floor, and I think they are putting on such a piece of theater on this tour that, queuing up for hours to be on the rail of the main stage, where the band isn't even located for a good chunk of the time, and miss the visuals and the impact of the narrative, is sort of a missed opportunity. If they were doing a concert, sure, that would be a great spot.. but they are putting on a show.

But hey, if people want to queue up for hours, have at it. I showed up 30 minutes to showtime both nights, and had a perfect spot 10 feet from the middle of the catwalk, and perfectly positioned between both stages.

Went in at 715, no waiting, got near the b stage , 2 people off the rail. Best spot. No need to que. it's an amazing show. I've seen it from all angles.

coming from MN.. making a trip out of this event so my husband and I are planning to be in NYC 9/24-28.. trying to find a place on AIRBnB. Problem for me is.. I can't decide what area to stay in. Manhattan? If so.. Lower, Upper, etc.. or Brookly?..again, which part! We are going to do some site seeing but not everything. We want to enjoy the food and culture of wherever we end up, but I still need some direction. Also, we are coming in from JFK so I want to be sure it's easy to get to.

Any locals with recommendations of what part of the map we should stay, I'd appreciate the help! So far, I think i'm interested in Astoria and East Village or Gramercy Park area.

$700 on StubHub right now for the cheapest VIP ticket. Insanity. Wish I would have just bought one when were ONLY like $350.

I'm hoping once people get the freebies they start to sell the VIP's.

drawings originally closed today and the winners announced today. but now it says the 13th.. maybe with pj as the headliner they got less interest than they thought and pushed it back? (i hope) cause it would be nice if it was mostly pj fans lol.

Today was just the deadline for Action Journey 1. They'll probably send out emails today saying if you've won or not. The deadline for the next Action Journey (2), which you can complete now, is August 13th, when the 2nd drawing will be.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck, everyone! Hoping to hear good news later today from PJ peeps who score tix

Granted, I am saying this without having ever seen a 'free' show in Central Park, but I am like 95% confident that like 50,000-60,000 free tickets + 'Global Citizen' = a lot of people giving away tickets around the show on the day of. Worst case, someone just wants like $20-$30 or something. I am getting into this thing one way or another. The challenge is going to be getting my ass into one of the VIP areas, which seems like an uphill battle right now.
