We have been informed that the official line up starts at 10:00 am, barriers will be set up, and there will be a U2.com line (editorial comment from Miroslava: hmmm, we'll see)

Apparently this is not a huge bash, more of a cocktail/dinner pick up your tickets type thing. No band. The Harp does list some Hillbilly band or something for later that night.

For U2 fans before and after the show, my good friends in the Cleveland based band ZOOSTATION are staging a great show at The Mercury Lounge. http://www.themercurylounge.com/ A great tribute to our favorite band, don't go expecting to see Macphisto suits and fly glasses, but do go with your requests as they love to play requests of songs screamed at them!

That's where I'll be, anyways...any of you who were at the first Cleveland Rock Hall of Fame event and came over to see ZOO after know just what I'm talkin about!

See you in Cleveland!

I tend to follow The National Weather Service and the farthest in advance that they forecast is 7 days.

Tower City is close by, with a food court, as are many bar/restaurants. Across from The Jake on E 9th is Alice Cooperstown which is a very cool place, you can go and warm up and get something to eat. There's alot of little places like that (dont know what time they open though - probably not til lunch). All in all, I dont think it will be a bad day. Its good that the venue is right in the center of a busy part of town.

I'll be there at 4am with my buddy James...

We will fashion a sign for everyone about the GA...and attempt to start a numbering system....

That is IF we are the first crazy bastards there...

BEVERLY56 · 12-08-2005, 01:24 PM

Found ya! In Pittsburgh, changed into dry clothes about 4:30, took stuff back to car, got in line at 5:00, stood there and froze til they let us in at 6:30. I think line etiquette is everybody should be in line, in order by 5:00. Listen to me, the expert after 1 GA concert. Its addictive! Once youve been on the rail, its hard to imagine being anywhere else.

Miroslava · 12-08-2005, 01:24 PM

I have a feeling you won't be... So long as we're not it...

5:30 is the dead last minute I would arrive at from some sort of short break... Things get hairy starting at that time

macfesto · 12-08-2005, 01:26 PM

Trust me...

TRUST ME

I really hope Im not first...I'd rather be like, 4 or 8 or something...hhaha

we'll see what happens I guess

First I have to make it there alive hahaha

AndrewRnR · 12-08-2005, 01:29 PM

So what happens if people make it to the Q and didn't "get numbered by fans" at 4am or whatever?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm lining up in the underground walkway under the Q

then jumping up at 9 to try to get tickets.

Was on rail for my one GA, too, and sick at the thought of the back of the floor. I guess I can see if I get in the ellipse or not in Buffalo.... perhaps I will see you all in the line around 9:30 or 10am.... I can always check some extra baggage.....cold shmold and who needs friends and family

Thanks for all the info all!!!

BEVERLY56 · 12-08-2005, 01:34 PM

Thinking will need to take some layers off before going in. Also big clunky coats etc can be dumped in cars if you dont mind shivering til 6:00.

Eh, things like that can get messy.

My advise, look for the number folks. Yes, it's not an official system, but it is a hell of a handy tool. Though it is just that, a tool, not a guarantee of any sort. It would be nice if we could all just get numbers, dissapear for hours on end and then magically show up at doors opening and get our spots

If you're on the box office line, normally you get a number and tell the people directly behind you that you're waiting for a Box Office drop so they know why you're not in line for veeeeery long periods of time

BonoInAKilt · 12-08-2005, 01:35 PM

i was planning to go down to the arena pretty early, maybe like 4 or 5 am.
so ill definitely be down there, looking for other crazy fans like myself.
2 days!

Miroslava · 12-08-2005, 01:36 PM

Two days?

It's one day in my world!

AndrewRnR · 12-08-2005, 01:36 PM

Ok cool thanks for the advice... this is(well hopefully will be....*crosses fingers*) my first U2 show, so sorry for all the questions!
