Where are you guys sitting for Friday?

Sounds grand, meet you gents there. First person to tell me where U2 is from wins the opportunity to buy me a pint 😝

Yeah the cruise sold out fast, there is supposed to be a meet up at some hotel for those that didnt get cruise tickets. That would be great if there was a tribute band playing, please keep us informed. Im planning on Porterhouse unless somebody finds something better.

Bro you are going to see U2, roll w the punches and enjoy!

Where do you think will be more lively, your pubs or Porterhouse?

There are some reasonable flights out there, just keep searching Orbitz, Priceline, etc. By accident I discovered that Qantas has like a payment plan option where you get charged per month. I had never seen this before, so I dont know how common a practice this is. I went ahead and did the payment plan. Itll cost me about $150 more in the long run, but just for me it was better than dropping $1500-$1700 right now. Good luck.

Sounds good. If you can tell me Bono’s real name, Ill let you buy me a pint

Where is everybody meeting before the Fri/Sat shows? There is an Irish pub called Porterhouse that is about a 25 minute walk to stadium, not sure if anything is closer. Thoughts?

I know there are loads of pubs around the arena, was hoping for something more U2 or Irish themed, but I dont think anybody has organized anything. If so I'm not aware of it. Legends Corner is always a good place, and its right across the street from the arena, but I'm sure it is going to be slammed. Might try something a little further down Broadway, crowds might not be as bad. Friday night we were planning on doing something in East Nashville. If any locals know of any good Irish pubs, please let the rest of us know.

Anybody know of any pubs doing any sort of U2 preparty before the show?

Anybody volunteering to run this? I would but I get flustered when burdened with responsibility

I am thankful to get tickets to Dublin, but what a complete disaster. From my codes not working, to reasons I still dont understand my card not being accepted twice, but working the third time (yes I notified my bank in the states ahead of time I was going to be making an overseas purchase.) I have never had an experience as horrible and frustrating as this. There has got to be a better way because this hardly seems worth it. I'll be happy tomorrow, but today I feel like U2 kicked me in the groin and Ticketmaster kneed me in the privates :/ Thank you to the mods for all their help.

Saw this on fb. I've already tweeted him and the band. Charging $300+ for ONE seat that isnt RZ is how they lose us. Speak up!

I fully realize there are greater problems in the world right now, but I wonder how much of this is Live Nation, and how much of this is U2? I went in thinking if I didnt get seats under $125 I was willing to pass. After hotel/air/meals/pints/concert shirts, $300 tix is just too out of hand. I got lucky and got some GA but I feel for those that werent as fortunate. It really leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth that this band, while maybe not the cause of the insane ticket prices, at least isnt doing more to get our backs.
