    And this too is why people queue (early): to get "front-offstage" where the sound is usually best
  2. At the O2 for I+E the sound was good in the good seats and the floor so I was glad I had both so that I could see both aspects of the show.

    For GA my friend queued from 9am on the day for a rail spot. I arrived at 7.20pm on the same night & got 3rd from rail so if the E+I production is similar with a lot of rail space I see no need for hours of queuing...other than for the U2 fan banter which is of course, priceless !
  3. The o2 is my local venue and it is always enjoyable so I'm hoping we end up there again. Not venturing beyond London for this tour, unless they play Cork.
  4. That depends on the venue and on the band too, there are bands with particullarly poor FOS sound (I'm thinking of you, E Street Band, and also of you, Muse) which sound very good midway through the GA space. U2 sound pretty good mostly anywhere in the GA area, including the first rows.

    Seats on the other hand will rarely sound as good, and the sound will get gradually worse as higher as the seats get. The closer to the ceiling (and further to the speakers), the weaker and muddier the sound gets.

  5. Yeah before the weekend next week. No Verified Fan bullshit it seems (all has been removed about it on U2.com).

    As in they're not gonna put us through the trauma of Verified Fan??
  9. Doesn't seem like it.

    Which was to be expected as there is no "central" Ticketmaster for Europe as there is for North America. For some countries there isn't even a Ticketmaster.
