Im heading on the Friday night. Was considering heading abroad to see them too, but with a trip to Albania and possibly Vienna ahead, too pricey :(

Cant wait for the gig, going to be interesting to see what 'The Claw' is like! :)

[tetsujin1979]

Looks like something from War of the Worlds!

[Rovers1]

They've been rehearsing alot of tracks that haven't been played live in a long time. If God Will Send His Angels,Unforgettable Fire,Seconds etc. Really hope they pull out a few 'not so played' songs.

I'm heading to the Friday gig too. Can't wait for it.

Delighted to hear they're rehearsing the older stuff they haven't played in years.

I liked to live version of I'll Go Crazy.

10 days untill the first night at Croker! It's my first U2 gig and I fancy being in the pit for it how early should I be at Croke Park to ensure this?

From past experiences at U2 gigs i would say you should get there no later than around 1 o'clock to get in the pit.

Will be in Dublin from 10 am and I'm staying 10 mins away so will be there for around then.

[aidz1]

the last u2 gig, you could get it in the pit until about 3.30pm. Though, the pit ont eh 360 may be a bit smaller this time.

going on friday myself..

[sameold]

I have 2 spare tickets for the Monday night gig. They are seated side by side in block 335 of the Lower Hogan so they are right beside the stage. They are face value of €275 for the pair. I'll be in Dublin with the tickets on Friday, Saturday and Monday. If you need more info, send me a PM.

Many thanks.

Mods, let me know if this is out of turn. ta.

[juan]

absolutely fantastic gig last night!!

[tetsujin1979]

just back from tonight's gig.
magnificent, just magnificent.

[Rovers1]

Was there Friday night, everything was perfect!! Thought Crazy, Unforgettable Fire,Bad and Ultra Violet were the highlights.

Trying to get cheap tickets for Monday, but theres only the €130 ones left :(

[paul_oshea]

270 for a pair, is that really the price of them,my god some people have way more money than sense.

[tetsujin1979]

I got two of the cheap tickets, 33 each for seats in the corner of the Hogan and Davin stands

[Monkfish]

Any report of Sat Night? Fri night was unreal (ignoring the rubbish that was played before U2 mind) ;)

[tetsujin1979]

I was at Saturday night's gig.
Whole thing was a bit surreal, the stage is unbelievable, Jeff. The screen is huge, and perfectly clear. They had a video message from the orbiting space station, and from Desmond Tutu.
Only minor gripe was they finished with "Moment of Surrender", which was a bit calmer than everything else that came before. I thought they'd just do a massive blow out for the final track. Rumours that tonight's gig will go over the 2 hour set, and finish after 11.

I was at the monday night gig 4 years ago, seats in the upper davin. Don't remember what time it finished though.

[tetsujin1979]

few of my mates in work are going tonight, I'm seriously considering heading down to see if I can get any spares going.....
