    Popmart '97 was also my first show (the one in vancouver).  I feel this concert was historical in a few ways. The first was that I hadn't gotten good at getting concern tickets yet, and we hadn't planned it out, so our seats were on the upper level towards the back.  It was the catalyst for me to figure out how to get good at ticket buying, and as a result, I had decades of amazing seats at concerts.

    The 2nd was, the show was so damn good, that I was even impressed way up on the upper deck of the stadium (BC Place).   It's not easy to feel the energy on the upper deck of a stadium.  Good on them :)

    We were at the Vancouver show as well and it was incredible.    Bono had a completely shaved head at that one. We actually met him outside the Pan Pacific hotel the night before. His voice was shot and he was going to see a throat specialist. Luckily the concert wasn’t cancelled. I was worried.

    For some reason it won't let me pick out a show. I got a confirmation email that I registered but not for a specific date. Oh well.

    can only pick your sections if you're going through the U2 fan club route (just like the 10c).  TM verified is different than the fan club presale.  Any help?

    You'll get it.

    Finally got P4. 20th row in section 407 which is almost the last row in the place.  Happy to be in the building but would have liked to have been a bit closer in that section. Also, got waitlisted for the verified fan sale.

    Nice.
    I got waitlisted as well for VF, but it's a moot point anyway as I don't need it now.

    Got mine!! I got the 25th and my bf got the 18th!! 
    So excited!! Long time fan since 1981, let my membership expire years ago cause I hated last album and skipped that tour...reupped after super bowl and got what I wanted with VIOLET. People who didn't get seemed to keep their dates in the first set of 5 dates... too much demand. Few ultra I know didn't get anything
    Oh... we are in 302 and 308...

    I'm going on 25th as well. (seemed like the Wednesday shows were the smart financial move, cheaper hotels & flights midweek).
    I'll be in GA with the wife.

    yeah....since I'm in SD it's not a problem. As a long time GA'er I opted out since I slipped down to Violet thinking it would be in demand. ANd plus I want to see the whole effect without lookin up too much, my old neck doesn't take that anymore

    Got GA for 10/18 as well (Violet group).  Changing to new shows (especially the Wednesdays) was a definite advantage. My SIL in the Ultra group got denied for the original weekend shows.
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)
