There was no pit in London and there was no pit for any of the US venues.
Its only us savages that need a pit.

Yep....

Can't have people like me, bouncing up and down, ruining the rest of the fans filming it and watching it through their phones...

It was epic. Screen was just WOW. The films were amazing. Proper HD. Sound fantastic. The production of the whole lot was really really well done.

I remember after Zoo or the Popmart Larry was asked what his ideal gig would be and he said to strip it all down and just play on the back of a lorry. Well this is as close as they have ever got. There is no show like there was with the IE screen etc. no Claw, no giant props to jump out of, no cars hanging from the roof & no alter egos. It was just 4 lads playing in front of a big tele. Obviously the tele is the prop and the show, but other than that, it is simply just a couple of hours of really fantastic ceol.

Can't wait for Croker now

Have any tickets been released in the past week? I haven't been able to check Ticketmaster in work this week. Surely "Pitch" tickets are about to be released or am I hoping against hope!

livelife

I would imagine all tickets have been released at this stage. It's a one night stand only

BONDIred

Is anyone still waiting on tickets to be delivered, Im missing one Pitch 2 paper ticket.

The bar in Heuston is not too bad for food and the match.

Anywhere in town really will do you. Dublin is quite small. Croke Park is around 20 min walk from Connolly Station.

Been too Croke Park many times but always drove there and can barely remember walking from o Connell street too there for Bruce Springsteen last year lol. Should be fine I'll prob see groups of people with u2 shirts walking there and the place is so big it's hard too miss

Found a walking map on the Croke Park website

Any guesses as to when ticketmaster will do a ticket drop? I'm trying to get 1 extra pitch ticket for my sister.

Are there tickets normally on sale at the box office on the day of the event?

Im actually listening to a great bootleg of the show frm U2Start. What a bloody show.

Seve OB

Having a beer in the garden this evening, reminiscing of last Sunday. The beer came in these, £2 deposit and you had to keep bringing it back to be refilled. Get your money back at the end of the night, of course you could keep it as a souvenir. Saw a bloke at the end of the night, must have gathered about 20 of them on the pitch. I wonder will we see them in Croker.

they had these at some festival here I was at many years ago. I thought it was a great idea. Not only does it mean you are given a half decent glass (well, plastic receptacle) to drink out of, instead of the terribly flimsy ones, but it meant the ground was not littered with the bloody yokes as they were worth something.

There were similarly lads going around with sky high stacks of them, collecting ditched ones and cashing in -they must have made a fortune -and the place had to spend less on cleanup too. win-win.

The printing is a good idea too, the ones I saw were plain and so not "collectible". I still think there needs to be a more novel approach to drink at gigs like this. Like vending machines with plastic cans, or beer self dispense points with contactless payment, pour however much you want into the container you have and be charged per ml. Or salespeople wandering around with plastic bottles.cans for sale.

Totally agree on the collectible cups. Great idea all round. I came home with two from Twickenham and found another couple left in our hotel lobby too.

Great gig and I thought the band was were in great form. Larry especially was an absolute monster. I thought he had lost some of his force in recent years but not a bit of it.

The crowd was good at the gig but it was weird before and after. Maybe it was whatever way we went to the stadium but there was no real buzz. Even afterwards, everyone just walked quietly back down the road. I guess it was just another gig for London whereas this weekend it will be the main event in Dublin and every pub will be blasting out U2 music.
Definitely an older and more well-heeled audience than in Dublin too, which was also weird. Not many band t-shirts around and (thankfully!) not a pink cowboy hat in sight...! But they got into it from the start and it was a really good atmosphere in a great stadium (much like Croker if they continued the stands on around where the Hill is).
I think the opening four or five song set really helps get the audience totally on board from the start and I thought it was a great set list. The encore section was fantastic too.

Roll on Saturday...!
