So, how do one's morals decisively indicate whether or not they can have a cap on their water or whether their purse is a backpack or a purse?

The first pen had to fill up earlier than that, I got there at 10:30 and I was in pen 2.

Believe me. I don't care about who ran the line, what they did, how they got there, who got vip wrist bands, etc. etc. I went to Hawaii with one main goal. No drama. I stuck to it and I am sticking to it again. Life's too short and Hawaii is too beautiful.

I didn't read the first line of your first post on top of this page. I thought it were agreeing with everyone on the previous page.

I hope that next tour people can understand and not make too many rules. San Diego was hard to handle the list. Just to get everyone in order and lined up, its a pain in the butt. The last time I took names was November 22 MSG. 11 people showed up after the show and half of them stayed overnight. Almost none of the regulars were even in the top 50 at that show. The lottery allowed for a loose feeling and allowed max time to camp out would be overnight to 7 a.m. the day before the show.

For those that were upset about numbers 50-70 or 80 you should have just came up to them and said something to security while in line after 6 p.m. and the people with the list which were the Flagship people.

Miroslava I am tired of people complaining. The lines are legit and if they have a problem just get the list and have the people at the front of the line get off their butts and tell them to move. Stadium show in Monterrey people obeyed the order of line placement after splitting up into 3 different entrances. Luckily I was in the line that was straight ahead onto the field and one other side people in Monterrey were throwning Pillows and chairs in the GA line. The Riot Police were called in and calm down the GA line on one side of the stadium.

I understand it gets tiresome, which is why I didn't get involved. Did I think, and still think, that starting the line 2 days early is ridiculous when we're in Hawaii? ABSOLUTELY, but that's it.

No bitching from my end. Not this time. If I had taken the time to be number 120 the right way (which means my ass stays glued to the line) and 60 people that had signed up earlier than I but had not spent nearly as much time as I, I believe you and lots of other people KNOW I would have raised holy hell.

But, by the time I showed up, everyone was pretty much settled and I got to hang ot with my lovely friend Michelle and chill, which is exactly what I wanted.

Yeah that's right.
I apologize if she looked irritated and/or asleep for most of the show. I looked back at her from time to time and she looked kind of angry. She said she was alright though.

ok

i have never posted here, ever

first time

hey brad, lol, i could not help myself with the nickname. we met in new orleans and saw you once again in hawaiii

am going to be short and sweet and come back later to expand on my thoughts because i am still exhausted from the trip home and want to get some sleep

OMG, how many crybabies are there on this damn site. i tried reading through posts and did not know whether i should laugh or cry.....

#1: IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO ONE AND ALL.....SIGN IN.....YOU ARE ALLOWED A PLUS ONE......AND GO AWAY....COME BACK AND WE WILL HOLD YOUR PLACE IN LINE NO MATTER WHAT ......THAT WAS EXTENDED TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO SIGNED IN..... " GO AWAY, DO WHATEVER ....ENJOY HAWAII " were the words i heard over and over by those doing the signing in.....

EVERYONE WAS TOLD, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO .....TRY YOUR BEST TO KEEP SOMEONE BEHIND.....but if you can`t, its ok.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT BE BACK BY 5 PM FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

EVERY GROUP OF FRIENDS TOOK SLEEP TURNS, FOOD RUNS, SUPPLY RUNS, SHOWER RUNS....BEACH RUNS.....WHATEVER......

one person was upset that they were frequenting the venue since the sunday b4 the show and wanted to know why he should respect the line and why that was the line at all...

I/we told him , the line starts with whoever starts it ...if he was scoping the stadium out every day maybe he should have made the sacrifice to start it.......We made clear that though the line was started : if stadium security or u2 security have a problem with it and would not respect it and disband it , then so be it .....

bRAD was there first, we heard something was finally starting by the stadium, we dropped everything we were doing and made our way down to join in.....that is just the way the game is played.....

cRAIG from u2 security came out on saturday and spoke to the 'flagship' and commended the fans for doing a great job

Good ole Eddie from Stadium security took awhile to warm up but in the end was won over AND DECLARED SATURDAY THAT THE LINE STARTED BY FANS WAS GOING TO BE RESPECTED....


Yes, a young lady did lose her mother while in line....what a horrible phone call to get ...

Her friends did start a collection because she did not have the money to get an emergency flight home......some of us walked thru the line to let people know what happened and why they would be asked for a donation......i figured with 600 people(that was what i thought was there at the time) in line we should be able to get $1 from everyone

Well, people donated $20 , $5, $10`s.......it was heartwarming. so fabulous to see the fans come through.


Anyway, off to bed

MAHALO!

The problem was was not everybody was told the same thing. When we got there, we said we heard it was plus one and Becky said no it's one wristband per person. They told us to stop by Friday morning to see what was going on...........

So already many different rules were already being laid out causing this confusion.

This is how much I didn't want in on the drama. Sometime at 3:30 am, Michelle and I were sleeping and were woken up by a pissed off Kevin with news about the line and I was handed a wristband with a double digit number. 93 or so? And he did inform us that he had been told we could come back at 5:00 PM later that day. We could have used the bands, but we just could not bring ourselves to. Not if we didn't put in the time.

So my number 630 in line was more than fine with me.
