Red Zone with the kids was a great time! Here's a pic collage from my favorite pics and a link to some video highlights:

Yeah it ended up being pretty open in Philly. Awesome show! The video camera was a bit annoying being in the way for a good portion of the show though.

From what I've seen they are both at the same gate it's just that there will be an escort for Red Zone.

Yep same here. It looks like there is a separate entrance where you can enter and get your tickets if I'm understanding it correctly. You just can't go in any earlier than anyone else.

Thanks all! I'll expect to receive it next week then for Philly's show.

Wow Red Zone looks packed - I thought it was supposed to have more room in it than that.

We are Red Zone and with our kids so we aren't going crazy early so the K lot parking should work out for us. We will probably head down around 5pm or so.

Thanks cerulean. We are 13 days away - hoping it arrives soon

If you want to buy parking in advance (which is probably a good idea with the parking situation down there) I found this link right off of Lincoln Financial Field's website: https://phillysports.clickandpark.com Not sure if the prices are more than what they would be getting it down there but I'm heading down with my family (including 2 children) so I don't want to be walking for a mile to get to the show in case these lots get full. These tickets are for lot K right next to LFF.

How close to your show did you get the Red Zone email explaining the procedure for ticket pickup, etc?

I wouldn't think so. There is GA and the Red Zone isolated area.

And let's not forget the geniuses who bring their iPads and film with those!

No. Only the Red Zone to the left is a separate area from the rest of the GA.

At the very least you can keep the phone at your head level or lower so that you don't disturb people behind you. I've recorded a song or two this way in the past and never had any issues with getting a good view on film.

So it sounds like you get an advantage because its a separate line (a much smaller one) before you go through the gate.

That happens at any concert. Luckily so far they don't know what it smells like But if they asked I would tell them. And I certainly wouldn't have them anywhere near someone who was doing that. Again we will hang towards the back where they can see fine. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Sean. My guess will be that they will offer a refund that's it unfortunately.

Thanks Shannon that was what I was afraid of. No way we will be going in that early so we will just plan on hanging towards the back and enjoying the show without dealing with the rudeness. I think hanging back a bit will be better anyway for viewing especially for them.

Totally agree. This was also a big selling point for us. I hope that's not the case for the Philly show.

For anyone who has been in Red Zone, what is your opinion on getting close to the rail with children? Obviously the density in the Red Zone isn't nearly like it is in GA but just wondering how people are close to the rail and if they are pushy/rude. Don't want my kids to experience any of that and if that's the case we will probably just stick towards the back of the crowd. Also, what is the timing to get up against the rail? How early would we have to line up?

Sure its a lot of repeats and not many surprises but still a killer collection of songs at the very minimum. I can't wait! I do have to say I'm surprised about Miss Sarajevo. Great song and Bono kills it but I'd like to have heard something different this time around.

cheers, but the manner in which this has been handled from the outset has left a very very bad taste in the mouth..... couldnt make it up how much of a shambles it is.... what is the point of a fanclub presale if the tickets are currently unavailable to paying members but end up on general release some days later. corrupt doesnt begin to cover it.. game over as far as I'm concerned Yeah I get it. And the fact that some could get it without the code sucks. I think that is more on the ticket sites than the band though. It would be a hard situation to resolve but from what I understand they do an audit so maybe more will become available, but then again virtually impossible to get. RZ tix are hard to get as it is, presale or not.

Just an FYI that red zone seats are definitely available at the general sale. I clicked on Red Zone for Philly right when they went on sale and they came up immediately. So I would suggest definitely trying again at the general sale if not the next resale.

I see. Thanks.

I think the TM resale tickets are not CC entry they are regular seats. Nope--they're CCE. When tickets are resold through TM they are reissued to the new buyer--then they're CCE for them. Ok but there are definitely no floor seats or Red Zone in the reselling area. That's why I thought those were the only original CCE tickets.
