    Comfort in exchange for a little charity. That's the deal
    Look at the pic... All these hundreds are as cramped as the rest of the GA because once you're there you want to be as close to the band as possible.

    There were day-long queues for the Red Zone as well btw.

    I still don't get it. Have they changed something here? I've never been crammed in GA. (Except for the original JT when I wedged myself against the front security fence... I can see being crammed in if you bum rush to be in the 1st few layers of humanity against the stage, but beyond that, it's quite comfortable... Last show I attended in Atlanta, Brooke Shields even found it comfortable enough to meander the floor with us minions...

    Yeah, well...if that's what you want to do with your RZ...
    But you certainly don't have to in order to have a good spot! Btw I wasn't the one arguing that the RZ could/should be smaller...

    Amazing to think it is probably about as big as the Popmart screen from 97, which at the time was the biggest in the world. Now, its kind of what we expect for a typical stadium gig. It's very much the norm.
    It's bigger than PopMart. This screen is 200 feet wide. PopMart was only 165 feet wide.
  5. I think the TJT30 screen is wider but shorter in height.

    As if Popmart was 4 : 3 and TJT30 was 16 : 9
  6. One but definitely not the same ,don't like the way Live nation signed off and approved by U2 have a price structure so the richer fan's get the best views in the house ,yeah we know they release cheap tickets that are impossible to get and RZ is for Bono's charity whose supposed benefactors don't see a cent , but why not for for this tour charge 1987 prices if they wanna be so nostalgic.In 1987 when they played Dublin they charged £12.50 no matter what section you were in.

    So much exaggeration and untruth in just this one post that I can not even take it
