Anybody know when the merch stands open in the parking lot. My wife wants the MetLife JT shirt and was going to head over early to pick it up

RZ people, just an FYI- I got to the RZ line-up yesterday around 1:30-2:00 and was #12 in line. Got the rail behind Edge's piano on B stage. The people right behind me arrived a few hours later and still were able to get an excellent spot.

Thanks. I was going to get there around 3. i should still be able to get a great spot then. excellent!  question, after red zone check in and getting a number, can we wander around and get back in place on line before entry?

FYI - we got there just after 5 yesterday afternoon. We had regular GA tickets. We ended up with a great spot on the corner of the rail at the back the Red Zone. Perfect view for my 6'1" husband over my 5'2" head.

After we checked in @ 4 (we were numbered before check in) and got our ticket we were then then brought to security where we waited for an additional half hour or longer. Then, once through security we lined up by number against a wall and waited for Emma to escort us inside. If I were you I'd make sure you were back in time for the 4 o'clock check in if you're getting there early anyway.

For the folks at last night's show, do you recall when exactly the boys took to the stage?  I think it was close to 9:30, but didn't look at my watch or phone.  I was so lucky on the drive over (came by car, from the NJ waterfront), made it in less than 30 minutes, after the worst of rush hour.  Then spent 15 mins trying to find the parking lots.  The worst thing about NJ is nothing is ever labeled clearly.

It was a brilliant show.  I was in section 139 in what's called Row 7, but it was really the 2nd row in the section.  Fantastic views.  Well worth the kidney I had to sell to afford the tickets.

For those in section 124 or any other obstructive sections, you may request an upgrade if you're early and there are still other open tickets available.  Visit one of the 'guest services' sections at MetLife.  There is one within section 124.  Was upgraded to section 142 for MetLife 1.  See photos for point of views.

I wonder if Bono will come over by the branch in RZ tonight. He didn't at all at last night's show but Adam and Edge did several times. He doesn't seem to go to that area of RZ during this tour.

I checked my phone when Whole Of The Moon started playing and I think that was 9:22. So U2 at 9:25?

[vertigojds 104]

This should come as a shock to absolutely no one but I'm on the first Port Authority bus from NYC and stuck in traffic. 

I had splurged on an RZ ticket for tonight and after seeing what a good regular GA spot I got for not too much waiting, I regretted it a little. Now that I know I'm not gonna get there as early as I wanted, I'm glad to be in the RZ.

Is it short sleeves weather at MetLife?

80 degrees and kinda humid, so YES! My family was comfortable in shorts and t-shirts last night and tonight looks to be much the same.
