I am gonna let Lila give the full story when she can.

The girl who got pulled is named Lola and I met her twice on this trip, once after the shore and on Monday on the NOrth Shore!

She's in her 40s and is super nicE!!

The event staff were clearly overwhelmed at this show.... Its like they weren't expecting it??? I thought that the tshirt stand would be deserted during PJ -- no way. I was almost crying I was missing so many PJ songs. But I managed to wiggle my way through and get a poster (very awesome). It was impossible to get a tshirt, they were all out of varying sizes and styles, and yet there were still clueless people up front making their decisions instead of being ready in advance! I felt sorry for the workers, they were stunned, like they just could not believe the crowds, and it was really chaos, a free-for-all.

Since we took a cab there, we had to catch a cab back... that was a bit of a nightmare as there were NO taxi stands where you line up in an orderly fashion and get a cab... Nope, we were running down the street the direction we came from franctically trying to flag down a cab. Fortunately we caught one about a mile from the stadium and shared a cab back to Waikik with a couple from the UK. Back at the hotel by 1:00 am.

Yes, the stadium management totally sucked, it was crazy, but it was all SO worth it to be at that show. I was there, I got to see U2 and PJ, the show rocked, and that's all that matters!

Yeah dude, same here. I took the bus to the Stadium and that wasn't bad. Left Waikiki @ 2 and got there @ 3:45... 4? Getting back.... geez.... that fricking sucked.... But, awesome show.

I just wanted to say a big Mahalo to the original poster - because of your warnings, I was able to enjoy a stress free parking situation - we left our Waikiki hotel at 3:45, were in the parking by 4:30, parked right near the exit, tailgated, and were able to curise right out of the stadium and be back in Waikiki within 25 minutes of leaving the parking lot after the show!! I was shocked at how easy it all was. But, it wouldn't have been if I hadn't read this thread and left for the show at 5:30-6:00 like I had originally planned.

Now, don't even get me started on the bathrooms and the tshirt lines. I didn't even dare to get in the tshirt lines - it was way too crazy for me.

Cstar- Aloha!! Hope you and your hubby had a good time, I didn't see you on the plane ride back!
