  2. I've got a great story about the Boston show, too. But for another time, another place.

    R$50 is about US$15 today.

    the funny thing is that the show was not at the Maracana because the equipment didn't pass through the entrance of the stadium.

    then the show was moved to the Nelson Piquet Autodrome.
    Its amazing the price differences from then to now. I wish I could find my October and War tour tickets. I think War was like $10.75 USD.
  4. My boring tickets from 360:




    That Popmart ticket above is great! As is the Zooropa one that Sergio posted on the previous page.
  5. Still fancier than the States!


  7. The Wembley one looks pretty neat tho
  8. Originally posted by INCA:Elevation final leg. Most tickets were day before or day of. I showed up and hoped for he best. I even queued without GA in hand. I was medicated...dedicated.


    Day of show is always the best way to go if you miss the pre-sale!
  9. True story about getting my tickets for the legendary "North American Glastonbury" show for 360.

    This was one of the dates that had to be rescheduled because of Bono's back injury. I didn't plan on going during the original date because it conflicted with my school schedule at the time, but when the rescheduled dates were announced, I realized I could make it work. Mid July 2010 (after the dates were announced), I called up Tickets for Charity on the phone to ask about GA tickets for the show and found out they only had two left in stock. When I ordered it, they said they could only send it to a place where it could be signed off at delivery (it had to be picked up by a person, not dropped off). I was in San Diego for summer classes, so picking up a package this way would have been a nightmare. I ended up sending it to my dad's workplace back in orange county and he got it about a week later. When I went back home to visit, I was handed the FedEx envelope it came in. I was super excited to have the ticket in my hands, but I didn't want to risk losing it before the concert nearly a year later. So, I ended up re-sealing the envelope and taped it to a wall in my room in Orange County where it remained for the next 11 months while I was back in San Diego for school. When I moved back home the next summer, there it was waiting for me.

    It's just a piece of paper, but I still have it along with my GA wristband and a local newspaper article written about the concert in my room with the rest of my U2 stuff.
  10. And this is how our tickets used to look like

    Cool story! I started to get worried you were gonna say "when I moved back home the next summer, the tickets had gone missing!" Whew! Glad you were able to make the show. Things have a way of working themselves out. The rescheduled shows allowed me to travel to see the Miami show...
