  1. In 2015 McHughs had a DJ playing U2 before the concerts. I know they have ‘December’ on tonight playing after the concert but not sure what they have pre-show.
  2. No support act on this tour. They have been scheduled to come on at 8.30 at most European venues so not sure why the earlier start in Belfast.
  3. I appreciate that this is non Manchester related but I’m writing in response to the periscope debate in the thread. I broadcast from Belfast in the i and e tour but you do get cramp holding your phone up. I’m going both nights next weekend and might broadcast a few songs from one of the nights depending on wi fi. Would anyone recommend a selfie stick as a way to avoid an overdose of lactic acid in my biceps? Cheers
  4. Tickets still available for both Belfast shows on ticketmaster.
  5. Pre sale windows as advised by ticketmaster are below. You can wait to 10pm if you wish but tickets for each category could be limited so on the basis of demand the earlier you log in the better the chance you have of securing the tickets you want. Onsale to General Public Start: 16 Jan 2017, 09:00 Red Hill Group Start: 11 Jan 2017, 09:00 - End: 13 Jan 2017, 17:00 Wires Group Start: 12 Jan 2017, 09:00 - End: 13 Jan 2017, 17:00
  6. Some people don't get U2. Their loss
  7. I'm sure they could find some solution to this, but unlikely I'd say until the next leg of the tour. Ironically I was in GA for Belfast 1, in which I had more space to move in and got within two rows from the E stage. I know it was for charity, but it feels that I was somewhat short changed in paying nearly 4x times the price for a GA ticket, but with no apparent benefits. I know what you mean. In Belfast MGZ, you had to join the main queue that was extremely long due to security checks. Then when you got to the building you had a separate door for MGZ that probably saved you about a minute getting in. The Oddysey has two VIP entrances but these must have been reserved for actual VIPs ;-)
  8. Move the wheelchair section to the front of the raised MGZ area? As you say, maybe there are logistical reasons preventing it. I'm not going myself unless I can get a cheaper ticket (have been able to find a €198 ticket on two occasions over the last few days) Just trying to think of solutions. I saw them both nights in Belfast. MGZ there wasn't great but at least it was in contact with the main stage and allowed for a good view of the main screen
  9. If anyone reading this has any say, would it be too much trouble to insert a platform into the music gear zone to address this problem?
  10. McHughs started to get very busy last night around 6.30. After the concert there was a queue at the bar so we went to the duke of York which was also fairly busy but had live music. McHughs have a dj playing U2 before and after the show
  11. Wouldn't know for sure but hold on to the old card. In the FAQs I think I read that even when your card has expired since purchase, it is still acceptable for entrance. Maybe it will be the same in your circumstance?
  12. Hi Belfastmick, Just checked my e-mails and got my MGZ this evening shortly after 18:00. Fairly self-explanatory details. Check your e-mail for yours/ Good man Martymc. I got the e-mail. Cheers I'm in the same zone as yourself so there's a fair chance I could bump into on Thursday night. Good stuff. Really looking forward to both nights

  14. Just found out that a friend on Facebook has latex allergies. Probably best and safer to stick to hankies, napkins etc
  15. Well the idea would be to wave them as Bono comes on to Miracle, their first song since playing Paris rather than repeatedly throughout the gig. As someone on Facebook posted, Sunday Bloody Sunday and Raised by Wolves have their own meanings and causes. I wouldn't know the Odyssey's policy on balloons. I'll be there on Wednesday wearing something white nonetheless.
  16. What about white balloons? I was fortunate enough to see U2 in Stade de France on the 360 tour. The French fans were all waving white balloons as the band came on stage. Have never found out why though. Any large chain sell white balloons in bulk? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHAwSTffuQ
  17. I'm in North side upper seats on Wednesday and MGZ2 in Belfast on Thursday. From what I can gather we should be receiving an e-mail about MGZ in the next day or two. Is that correct?
  18. If things go to plan, I'll be meeting a few friends at McHughs bar before the concert. Just across the river from the SSE.
