I did not hold the list in Hawaii. I ask for the list for a few times before 4 p.m. the night before the show. I did a count with the wristband numbers from myself #1 through # 200. Then I did it again only from #2 through #70. I will defend the Flagship people since it was stress free and they kept the line and list in tact. We did merge 2 lists together when we met after the gates across from McDonalds which closed at 5 p.m. Thursday.

I knew if the line start we would get majority of the U.S. fans complaining about starting it too early. Ususally in the foreign countries the lines start 2 to 5 days in advance.

There is no way to control so many people for a stadium show. There were no problems when I went to Monterrey and I was #38. I stayed in line majority of the time with skjuls on intereference. We went back to the hotel room in the evening and the day of the show to wash up.

I was in line until 10:30 p.m. Thursday night until I appeared at Dukes later in the evening. I went back to my room and slept for a few hours and arrived early before 6 a.m. and the people that stayed overnight got some sleep at their hotel in the morning for a few hours. We all did sleep in line the night before the show at the stadium from #'s 1 to around #50.

Kevin I heard you were drunk when you were arguing with the person holding the list at 2 a.m. in the morning. You were in the middle of the road and taking your shirt off again. That was what I was told when I arrived early in the morning. I knew you were going to do another Portland again.

Due to the line moving and stopping around 6 p.m. it allowed the cruise ship people to get back in line. Plus the fact that you can easily jump the fence and get in line in the pen. They needed more security on the front side of the pen than the back side or the sides of the pen. That did not make any sense.

Ha! The shirt was never off, and I was in the middle of the road because I was in a car, and the middle of the road was the only place that had room for a car. Although...I do not deny arguing with the list holder, simply inquiring as to where the other EIGHTY THREE people were who were on the list.

1.i was not in Hawaii
2. from what i hear for the most part the line was well organized
3. if u weren't in the ga line...why u whining about it.
4. calling a bunch of people loudmouths...especially when you do not know them and they are not on here is really cool...i wish i could be so cool!
5. i have spent many a day and night in line with super fan on the vertigo tour...he is crazy...lol...(we all are) but he is not trying to scam anyone.
6. NO one is perfect so who ever ran the line give them some credit.
7. Re: The flagship and the night in Boston...i was there
8. The so called "flagship" did not start the line in Boston on any nite. And the line did not start 2 days before the show.
9. re: staying in line and letting friends in...in Boston a group of fans behind the "flagship" dropped their gear and did not return till the morning...and from what i hear ...it was not the first time this "group" planted stuff and left. some of you are posting on this thread pointing fingers and stirring up crap...(or are friends with those people)
in addition, some of u whiny fans let some people in Saturday morning.

10. re the flagship: it was staged. plain and simple. it was planned with the band days before. I was hanging with the band and crew in Montreal the week before....We are close with the band. bono had this great idea. he said you guys should go freeze your asses off in Boston. camp over night in the freezing cold. then he said plot your way to the front because its obvious that you are entitled!!! Then during the song One I will pull you loudmouths on stage and create a very cool moment. Then he said “you are better than all other u2 fans!!!! damn it you should be on stage!!!” Then Bono said “just think of all the fans i am going to piss off on interference for bringing up your group of friends with flags. they r going to be so bitter and jealous that they will continue to bring this up a year later. they will try to ruin the moment for you but don't let them. some people can never be happy for others.”

there were 5 maybe 6 flagshippers from boston in hawaii and at the front of the queue.

where exactly you're getting all your info from i dont know, but the point is quite clearly a lot off it is wrong/made up/exaggerated/complete and utter bollocks

The FACT remains that when I got to the line, there were 6 people there and 91 on the list. That is not a line. Like I said previously, using that logic, people could go to the arena sraight from the airport, take a picture of themself in front of the arena, and show up hours or a day later claiming they were there first (by simply showing the time on the picture in their camera) and therefore their spot in line should be held. If people aren't physicaly in the line for an extended period of time, they should not be on the list. The purpose of a line is to BE IN LINE--not to just make a list and "hold" people's spots because they mozied on down for five minutes.

Along with most of the other GA fans, we waited out on the sidewalk all day Friday, leaving only to get coffee and food down the street. When they moved us on to the venue property, number 9 in line showed up for the first time since signing the list. I couldn't fucking believe it. All her friends allowed her to join the line, and they all knew she'd been on the beach all day. She got called out in line by a bunch of people but of course wasn't going to leave. I

There were also people who didn't get in line all day Friday who were on the list, and they all went on the dinner cruise and showed up in line AFTER that (even though they'd been on the list since Thursday). Not cool, given that other people sucked it up and waited.

Some people in my group of friends did leave to take a shower at 6:30 in the morning on Saturday--we took turns going to the hotel to change and come back. So yeah, I was clean for the show. There's enough B.O. among GAers--so let's not hold cleanliness against anyone

The show was fabulous, and it was awesome to get to meet some people from here in person, at last. But the politics of the GA don't ever seem to improve.
There were many who just showed up.....................

Sigh!!!

we were told when we signed up to go to our hotel and sleep and to come back in the morning.

Our group was prepared to camp out.....

all i know is that if i had been waiting in line for 2 days straight, and then all of a sudden people who were hanging out at the beach and going on cruises got in line in front of me because friends were "saving their spot", i would have been a little irritated
