BigBunny 121 Posted November 7, 2019 whatever happened to staying in the line? it's not right that people can take a number then piss off and check in every now and then. I have seats for my show so I don't have to be concerned with this crap. imo if you line up you stay in line unless you need a loo or food break... or a shower. if you leave the queue for longer than it takes to go home and have a shower I say you lose your spot 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterferris8 559 Posted November 7, 2019 Also, whatever happened to just showing up on the day of the show? None of this "check in three days before" nonsense. As Canadanne said, on I&E I had no problem simply rocking up at 2pm and joining the line, but on TJT and E&I it was all wristbands, sharpies... That said, I'm gonna go ahead and start the GA line for Mumbai right here, right now. I'm numbers 1-170, everyone else needs to check in at Brighton pier in the UK 15 days before the show. (I'm not actually going) 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their campaign to bring the band down under was ultimately successful, after all! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddarroch 54 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) U2's own security seem to be in on it, or at least turn a blind eye. Handshakes & slaps on the back at the beginning of the tour. Like long lost friends. Venue's policy is 'no fan managed lines' for days & days. Then, hey presto, there's a backflip to allow these same guys control of the front the line. Despicable! Nothing wrong with first come, first served. Works perfectly. The only reason this check-in system is implemented here is to get these guys the prime spots. Melbourne wasn't the first time, & it won't be the last. Thank God Brisbane line was run fairly, with good old camping.

Canadanne 270 Posted November 22, 2019 I thought this might be an interesting article, but they neglected to mention that U2 fans don't actually queue like that any more...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50420172 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
