I’m considering doing the London shows at the O2. Any idea how difficult it is to get GA tickets through 10c? I’ve only been to shows in the US and Canada, most of which have been on the east coast and which have been incredibly difficult to score GA tickets to, and I’m wondering whether that is also the case in Europe. Is GA just a small section right in front of the stage like in the US, or is it the entire floor? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Entire floor. U.K./Europe opposite to the US and GA tickets easier to get than seated tickets
Are we thinking the Portland show on 5/10 will be at the Moda Center?
That most likely, although Providence Park is open for concerts this year too... Green Day, Foo's tickets already purchased.
Hey @OceanSoul71 what area of Portland would you recommend as being safe enough for tge Moda?
@darwinstheory just to offer my two cents, I live here and feel like the "Portland is a dangerous hellscape" image that is often spread around is just not true. Yes, there are a LOT of unhouse people here, but that has not once prevented me from walking around whatever part of town I wanted to be in, at night, alone or both. I've never had an issue. That being said, if I were you I'd try to stay somewhere that would make it easy for you to either walk, take a train or ride share to the Moda, as actually trying to park in and around there can be frustrating and expensive. There are TONS of great hotels on the west side/downtown that are all close to the yellow/blue/red line trains that will take you the short trip east across the river and drop you off right outside the arena. There are also several options to stay walking distance to the venue on the east side. If you don't mind ride sharing, you could try to find a hotel or AirBnB near SE Division St, NE Alberta St, or N Mississippi Ave. There's a lot of cool places to eat/drink there and would not take too long to get to the Moda by car.
@djjazzy276 thank you for the insight. You described the area I had been searching, so that is good.
Yeah, I live in a predominantly red area and when I've told people I'm going to Portland, their looks and comments reflect their political beliefs. They are also the "I'm never going to Chicago because I don't want to get robbed and shot" crowd. I've never once had an issue in Chicago. There are just certain parts I do not frequent and I stay aware of surroundings. I expect similar of most major cities.

Wow! Good to know. Thanks!
It's normally very easy to get GA from 10C in Europe, not sure if the shorter tour may change that but I'd imagine it will be ok for 1st or 2nd pick
Where’s everyone staying for wrigley? These hotels are insane! 1300 for one hotel from the 29th-1st
Where the heck are you looking?
Hotel versey in wrigleyville is one we stay at for games from time to time. It’s 1300 for the 3 nights
I booked there for 4 nights, back on 11/16. It was $1500 (28th-1st). So much! (and booked the 1st day dates were "confirmed"). Hope to be sharing.
* others less than 1 mile from venue were much more!
I have no problem staying in or near the Loop and riding El to Wrigley to save $... Gold Coast was about $750 for 4 nights.
Well, I did get refundable, if I change to further out. I'm not familiar with taking the El, but may have to Get familiar.
So easy that my 5yo and I could figure it out never having been to Chicago.
Visit the Field Museum while you're there, it's just a few stops away.
Chicago's museums are outstanding! We love the Field Museum; the planetarium and aquarium are an easy walk away. Museum of Science and Industry is great, so is the Art Institute of Chicago :swoon:. The zoos are great, too.

I don't live in PDX but I've stayed there many times and recently moved across the river. As in Seattle and other West Coast cities, homelessness is a major challenge. The unhoused population is diverse -- I've seen everything from families with small children :-( to really psychologically unwell, alarming people. On the other hand, when I'm staying downtown I (female) feel reasonably comfortable going for a run by myself along the water. On the third hand, there was a pile of (human) feces on the sidewalk the last time I went for a run there in October....
I think you should not leave valuables in your car if you're parking it in Portland.
I will say Portland is, to my knowledge, the only place where Antifa is a real thing. We were visiting a few years ago when Antifa took over a bridge, setting off smoke grenades and fireworks and smashing some storefront windows downtown. But protests, demonstrations and property damage/ vandalism are different animals than muggings and assaults, and my impression as a regular visitor is that you don't need to be any more worried about those things in Portland than you would be in any other city.

GA in the O2 is not the same as GA in a stadium, Hyde Park or a field, probably 5000 max, so may not be so easy.
If the Chicago image is real, then I'm def out for that one. Just put the deposit down for our yearly beach trip to Topsail, which falls on those dates. Really hoping that Baltimore rumor is real, already being there for the Boss will be awesome.
Yeah. Someone seriously needs to start the "Move the Baltimore show to Camden Yards" thread. Especially if the field is already going to be concert ready.

Hard disagree! Saw them at the arena last time they came and it was an awesome venue to see them in, also no chance of a rain out (September in the NE and all). Can't imagine they don't play Bmore for the COVID make up show, that said, I do wish they would play DC proper! Cant wait either way!

Was at the 2013 Baltimore show as well, and had tix for 2020 one. Definitely hoping to get to this show, but have little interest if it were at Camden Yards. I'm just not a big fan of stadium shows. We did Wrigley 2013, all four Fenway and the two in Seattle in 2018, but just not highly interested in any more in stadiums that we've already been to. That said, if a Philly show at CBP or NYC at Citifield show were to happen, we'd be there in a heartbeat. Might even trek out to Pitt for a PNC show.

The west coast cities do have issue with homelessness and open air drug use that east coast cities wouldn’t tolerate. That said, they are significantly safer than what one hears on right wing media. Seattle is a remarkably safe city relative to other big cities. The new city council will continue and extend the crack down on street crime. Just avoid the area around 3rd and Jackson which has been skid row for decades, and, like everywhere else, don’t leave valuables in your car.

For all the assumptions about journalistic ethics, maybe they called Wrigley and they confirmed it. Even if it started with the bs article doesn’t mean they didn’t vet the info
Kind of my thought. I’m sure that people in media at channel 5 could have connections to media at wrigley.
As if anyone in media cares about the facts..they all typically just want to be first

Hey @OceanSoul71 what area of Portland would you recommend as being safe enough for tge Moda?
@darwinstheory Well, I live across the Columbia River in WA and when in concerts, I usually book a room at the Doubletree (Hilton) or Courtyard (Marriott) for adult beverages etc. no driving home buzzed. Both hotels are 10 min walk from Moda Center and have always been safe even late nights.

10 Club seats are really limited in Europe. It used to be GA only.
I won seat tickets in Barcelona 2018 and im number 730159.
That being said for london (and although wife is not that tall 1.65m) we are gonna try for GA but we are not going for the front because in 2010 in hyde park in PJ it was so chaotic that we had to go to the back because it was getting very violent (we couldnt even feel out feet touching the floor) and when we were getting to the back she got hit with a plastic bottle in the head
