Subscriber francispotter 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 SAP Center in San Jose has posted a very detailed seat map -- much more precise than the one on ticketmaster.com. What I notice is that it appears the stage will be set up with a main stage at one end and a runway along the floor to a smaller stage at the other end. So I guess the band stays on the main stage and Bono runs to the other end to sing sometimes. The diagram also shows the Red Zone as being near the second end -- the smaller stage. If that's the case, then red zone people aren't particularly close to the band, but they might be close to Bono sometimes. For those of you who have been to previous tours, does this sound right? Does anyone have any other data? Also, does anyone know whether red zone ticket holders are permitted to leave the red zone and go into the GA area? In other words, are you restricted to the red zone, or can you choose to join the madness for part of the show? (Bottom line is that I want to get as close as possible to the band, but it's not clear that red zone is actually better than GA for that.) Thanks!

Subscriber Zoonation76 11 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 willing to bet a lot that it is by the B stage. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber peggytwoten 14 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah, unfortunately, it looks like it's by the B stage. If I had realized this before I bought my RZ tickets, I'd have tried harder for GA. Maybe not that much further away and much cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Zoonation76 11 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 the convenience, bar and restrooms are worth the cash. Show up whenever, leave whenever, moeny view the entire time. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber travelergirl30 6 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hm, I guess buying RZ was a gamble. Hopefully knowing how much people shelled out for the tix the band will make it worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber jvermilya5 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi, The Red Zone will be located directly flanking either side of the main stage. The SAP seating map is slightly misleading as it looks like the main stage is on the right hand side, with the long catwalk leading to a B-Stage. What appears to be the main stage on the right is actually the sound area and work crew areas (if you read the fine print). You got the great Red Zone seats that will get you closest to the band during the show. Hope that clears up any confusion! Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber U2FanInVT 14 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 I know that in the 360 tour the Red Zone was not right next to the main stage...but along the outer circle...see image... So I could see where it may not necessarily be right along the "A" stage... Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber U2FanInVT 14 Posted December 5, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2014 As far a proximity to the stage goes, regular GA were by far the best at all the shows I have been to. Link to post Share on other sites
Sigma957 2 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) This is the first tour since Elevation to not have a heart, an ellipse or a pit design. I can't wait to see a mockup of the stage from Willie. Edited December 6, 2014 by Sigma957 Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Shannon387 228 Posted December 6, 2014 Subscriber Share Posted December 6, 2014 I did red zone in the 360 tour. The view was phenomenal & no waiting all day, in some cases 2 days, in the GA line. I'm doing Red zone again this time arouND & looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites
