  1. just a spectacular show. I really liked how it ended as the Songs of Innocence tour began, with Bono in the back of the hall with the lone light bulb. A fitting bookend to that equally spectacular tour.
  2. first of all - everyone have a great time tonight, those of us who cannot attend opening night are mega jealous! For those having angst about the GA line, the heavy metal band Iron Maiden does a cool thing for their fan club members. All of their shows are GA on the floor. They have a drawing about a month before each show for what they call "First To The Barrier" which allows fan club members (plus 1 guest) with GA floor tix entry to the venue 15 minutes early so they can get prime positions on the floor. I would think U2 could easily adopt this practice or do something like allow fan club GA ticket holders entry to the floor via a separate line and let that line in first before the general public. Or maybe I'm just rambling... anyway, everyone have fun tonight.
  3. a further head's up. There's a pending hot button murder trial involving a former police office charged with murdering an African American. The verdict is expected Friday and if it's a "not guilty" verdict the you now what might hit the fan in St. Louis - The Governor has activated the National Guard and police are preparing for massive protests http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/police-to-begin--hour-shifts-as-st-louis-awaits/article_8b978ee9-80d8-5beb-9401-3933653f9b3e.html
  4. not sure where you're staying and/or if you'll have a car but go to Small Batch if you can. Not a 100% vegetarian place but lots of great vegetarian food and great whiskey http://smallbatchstl.com/
  5. just keep checking on Ticketmaster - GA's will open up before the show, even on the day of the show, they always do
  6. for those not familiar with the layout, the stadium in downtown directly across from the Lumiere Place casino/Four Seasons Hotel - it's withing walking distance from Busch Stadium where the Cardinals play. The Cardinals are not in town that weekend so there should be plenty of spots to meet up have dinner and drinks before the show. I'm sure Ballpark Village will have a pre show event of some kind as well
  7. just keep trying, GA will be available for awhile, even if it says "not available" just keep trying
  8. hello from St. Louis - if anyone's planning to travel here for the show, it is on a Saturday night, let me know if I can be of any help with questions on where to stay, eat, visit, etc.. Good news is the Cardinals are not in town that weekend and, of course, no NFL football anymore.
  9. YES! - finally got in through the Ticketmaster App on Iphone - GA tix Thanks Bigwave and everyone flying the flag, see you all in Chicago PS - TicketBastard sucks
  10. Bigwave, truly appreciate your help on this. The Ticketmaster folks are buffoons and do not care one bit. This is clearly some technical issue related to the Chicago show only. Every other show has worked fine. This is very frustrating.
  11. I'm also on the app but keep getting the "Sorry, NO tickets were found..." message
  12. this really shouldn't be difficult. I'm not understanding why this is the case. 45 minutes in now and I'm still getting either "no tickets available" message for GA or the "unable to process your request" I've cleared my cache multiple times, I'm in incognito mode, I have a unique presale code (not some random nonsense that allows anyone in). This should have been a 3-5 minutes total process.
  13. any mods online who can assist? This is beyond unacceptable. First you have to navigate through the absurd verifications then you find no tickets available? This needs to be fixed right away. People do not have all day to do something that should only take 1-2 minutes.
  14. this is shaping up nicely. Can't wait to see you all there. Happy the shows are indoors as my last U2 show was at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and it was litterally 105 degrees that day. PS - forum moderators - it's PHOENIX not PHEONIX!
  15. I also have an extra GA for night 2 (the 23rd) and would like to trade for a GA on night 1 (the 22nd)
  16. Alice Cooper, of all people, has a bar/restaurant right next to the venue, a cool place for a before and after show party
