Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]Ooooooooh right that's right, right, right. She queued on Gate FIVE, not on gate TWO as the rest of us. That was a clever movement then, the queue was supposed to be a unique one (on gate 2) but then some (very few, about 150 or 200) people were stubborn and queued on gate 5, and they achieved it (they entered at the same time than the first 150-200 of the long big queue, it was a kind of a forbidden cheat but lol they achieved it). I was organizing the big queue on gate 2, that's why the info didn't fit
Regarding the wristbands and so, listen to me.
The first 400 people who arrived to the queue (mostly the day/night before the show) got a number written on their arm and late at night, after the dress rehearsal, some of the fans (we became kinda staff crew) were giving wristbands to that people, with the same number present on their arms.
Then, an hour before all gates were opened, we the people with wristbands were allowed to enter to some kind of pre-gates area, where obviously we had an advantage to the people on the rest of the queue. Then the gates opened and the wristbands-people entered the stadium 5 or 10 minutes before of the rest of the queue. That's why we all had great spots. But to enter the inner circle, you only need to be one of the first 2500 people to enter to the stadium
-- it was incredibly painful LOL but truly fair, I said that to Remy right away. So... everything went fair. Only blaming the controlers there for giving out wrong information about which gates were for which ticket holders 
in the end, all was well (except that I haven't seen you in person

Anyway, if you ever come back to Spain (for 2010 concerts? haha 
) we have to meet for sure Originally posted by LikeASong:OK, Kirsten, now it's all clear
Glad that you made into too, it was a hell of a show (even though today's one seems to have been an absolutely awesome one), shame that we couldn't meet finally

Or we could arrange a massive U2start meet in, say...Dublin. Or something like that.
Originally posted by RDB92:I'm going to the 2nd Amsterdam show, and I was going to try to get in the inner circle. But it's my only show, and reading the stories here, I'm not so sure if I should do it anymore because of the lightshows. So now I'm doubting between either going just outside of the circle, at the tip, Gerard's spot (how well can you see the lightshow there?) or in the inner circle, but at the end, which is very near, only I suspect you've got more room because there's no one behind you and no guards in front in you. I believe you should be able to see the lightshow equally well from those two spots, but I'm not sure...
Any advice?
