That is correct. Line is by Gate 6 - NW entrance.

Ticketmaster is not working today for GA's and regular seats. Period. its like an intern forgot to activate GA's for the presale!

Colombia sirve. All good

Max, Big wave, mich: Speaking to friends all over the country, no one able to get regular tickets in presale. Only VIP's and red zones.

Officially no one can get GA's to Minneapolis, St Louis, Kansas City that I have heard. Bigwave??

Bigwave, This is a legit problem. Tried with a few browsers and the app. Only VIP and RedZone options for all North American shows.

Max, your patience answering the same 4 questions is admirable. Seriously! My respects.

Hi Julianne, Welcome to South Florida. Have to be honest with you, the stadium is not too close to South Beach unfortunately. (35-40 minutes north). On the way up, you should take an Uber or taxi, no problem. On the way back, the exit will be a mess. Trying to get public transport may prove difficult. I would pay up a bit $$ and hire a pickup service if I were you. Just to avoid the stress.

Miami local for 17 years here. Yes, stay away from the Fountainbleu. Check in Sunny Isles Beach, which is north Collins Avenue by the sea (180th street or so) and only about 20 minutes from the stadium. PM me if you have any questions or if you want to email or call.

$72 ticket price + $14 in fees = $86

The e-stage rotational songs have become very predictable. Elevation, Desire..Ange of Harlem 90% of the time. We were very lucky in North America with the varied selection.

Happened to me for Bruce Springsteen last year. Take the new card by itself and you will be fine. The arena staff swipe the cards through a machine that prints your tickets. The machine reads the account number NOT the card itself.

That's 1 minute of my life Im never getting back. Terrible post

Either. You can either suscribe to regular HBO service on TV, or suscribe to their smartphone/digital only platform which is called HBO Go. It costs $9.99 a month I think.

So your opinion is a bible scripture now? So your opinion of HATING POP is a BIBLE scripture now ?????? I think you got the wrong person. I love POP. Nice try though.

Good post. Interesting that you mention the engagement with the audience is good; whilst I wouldn't disagree I have seen a number of posts on Twitter, and elsewhere, of people being called up on stage at more than one venue. I wouldn't blame the band necessarily for this because they might not know who is who in the heat of a show but there does appear to be some fans who are getting their 'moment' and then getting it again, thus stopping someone else from doing so. I recently read that on one of the recent German shows Bono even recognised the same person who had already operated the Meerkat cam. Surely that would be the time to look at someone else instead.. I don't know. I have to say this - and it's a moan - but i do think that those fans who rushed out to buy tickets straight away and who got tickets for shows 1 or 2 have ended up with a bum deal. Sure the shows have been good but all the real fun and changes to the setlist appear to be happening on shows 3, 4 or more. It's a tad unfair - I see no reason why the songs could not be mixed up more so the likes of Gloria, Sweetest Thing, Bad and 40 (and others) get an airing at earlier shows in that city. And I'm still sorry The Troubles doesn't appear to be getting a look in - it'd be a far better show closer than One or ISHFWILF. Some shows have been the exception. New York #2 was arguably the best of the 8. It had Gloria, Volcano, Stuck in a Moment and Moment of Surrender/Bad.

Based on the shows I've done this tour, my recommendation is: do one show front row I stage (Main stage) and the other night right in front of the Red Zone barrier as others have said. Both offer completely different perspectives, and both are great. The Red Zone barrier option has the added bonus, you don't have to camp out in line long.

Hello UK fellow Zootlops, I'm looking for one kind should to help me get a copy of the Q Cover issue with U2. I live in Miami, FL and we don't have Q anywhere. I would happily pay for the purchase, shipping and even a convenience 'Thank You' fee if needed. (Via PayPal) Can anyone help? thank you! Jaime Miami, FL

Just wait until you see this show. The passion will come back at you and hit you in the face by the third song.

Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/bijankhosravi/2015/08/09/why-would-u2s-bono-promote-meerkat-whats-in-it-for-him/ Why Would U2's Bono Promote Meerkat? What's In It For Him? U2 just wrapped up their iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour in North America with final shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In their first show in Silicon Valley, before Bono began singing “Desire,” he asked an audience member to come up on stage and share the event all over the world via Meerkat, the hot new startup with a live video streaming app. The audience embraced this seemingly spontaneous moment. But I think that U2’s lead singer Bono had put a lot of strategic planning into orchestrating the whole thing. The Irish singer has long been a fan of startups and has been investing in ideas, from Yelp to Dropbox, for years. Bono isn’t just an entertainer; he’s a venture capitalist. After being introduced to the Silicon Valley investment scene by Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook, Bono started working with the private equity firm Elevation Partners to make large investments in media, entertainment and technology companies. Elevation Partners was one of the early investors in Facebook, a move that made them millions. Today, Bono and Roger McNamee, a founding partner of Elevation, continue to make investments in technology companies. So, why is Bono interested in Meerkat? As an entertainer, and as an investor, Bono sees the game changing nature of live video streaming technology, the massive opportunities, and wants to play in the space. Broadcasters, content creators and consumers will all be impacted. Many questions around live video streaming are yet unanswered. Will it go freemium? Or paid? Or monetized by heavy ads? These are all questions that Bono wants to play a part in answering. As for Meerkat, the boost Bono provided has put them in a strong position to become a major player in the space. But, the company is still recovering from a really rocky start, and has challenges ahead. Just a few weeks after Meerkat launched their app in February 2015, Twitter TWTR +0.00% blocked the company’s access to social graphs, making it more difficult for Meerkat to acquire users. Parallel, Twitter launched its own live video streaming service, Periscope. Of course, Periscope had full backing from and access to Twitter. For Meerkat, this blow could have killed them. But with true startup drive, Meerkat quickly made a strategic move and partnered with U2. I went to two shows on the North American tour, their kickoff in Silicon Valley and closing in New York City. On just those two nights, Bono promoted Meerkat to over 35,000 people. From this, their user base will continue to grow, their publicity will increase, and they will be in a stronger position to negotiate deals with other entertainers. If Meerkat can make a few key business moves, they have hope for the future. I think they should make every effort to further build the partnership with U2, and develop partnerships with other bands. Parallel, Meerkat could form partnerships with content distributors like Comcast CMCSA +0.20% or AT&T. And of course, it will be critical for Meerkat to continue to invest in R&D and further enhance their technology. So what does Bono gain from the partnership? Beyond being able to shape the new market of live video streaming, I am sure that he has some stake in the company. And he knows that with his involvement, Meerkat can get to the next level, and potentially, a rewarding exit. I think there are three possible exit scenarios for Meerkat. One could be an acquisition by Facebook. Just Wednesday, the social media giant launched a live streaming video service of its own for celebrities. Only VIPs and celebrities verified authentic on Facebook can use the technology. Some promoters already include The Rock and Serena Williams. Meerkat, with its existing user base and complementary technology, could be a perfect fit for them. Second, Google could buy Meerkat. Despite around $4 billion in revenue, YouTube has yet to make Google money. Acquiring Meerkat, then merging the technology with YouTube’s live streaming service, could help them take YouTube to a whole new level and finally be profitable in the space. The third scenario I see is an acquisition by Apple. With rumors swirling about negotiations with cable networks to offer live channel subscriptions through their Apple TV, I’ll bet that they have their eyes on technologies that could complement their offerings. Meerkat’s technology – and popularity – could help Apple, in true Apple fashion, dominate the live streaming space. But Meerkat is still a startup, and the future is uncertain. However, with a rainmaker like Bono on the company’s side, they have a greater chance than others to make it. Their partnership is a great example of how entertainment and technology are combining to create value. As the worlds of entertainment and Silicon Valley merge more, expect to see more investments, partnerships and deals that increase the levels of business innovation.

Edge was very clear that the band is taking their time. He said something also along the lines of "we are nowhere near the finished product, but we are excited with what we have so far". Its there to listen to if you want.

My big takeaway is that Songs of Experience is nowhere near ready. Also: Larry basically told setlist complainers to shove it since diehards represent only 20% of a show's audience.
