U2 JT Tour: London Or Dublin?

    I know there's a very good chance of getting a virtual hanging for this but have a genuine question on which U2 gig to see.

    Backstory:
    I signed up for the pre-sale and had everything ready to go to get a RZ ticket for Dublin. It failed miserably as the Red Zone link wasn't selling any RZ tickets. I later found out it was because someone screwed up and allowed anyone to buy a RZ ticket the day before with no pre-sale code. Needless to say I was pretty upset but somehow thought to check again at 10.30 and managed to get 2 x Pitch 2 tickets for Dublin.
    I had another bit of luck this morning when I managed to get 2 x RZ for Twickenham (I live in London).

    My question is.. which will be the better gig / experience. Pitch 2 in Croker or RZ in London? 

    Red Zone was the goal, it's a phenomenal experience, rocking up just before the gig starts and having an amazing position. We had it before in Croker and the lads came out on the ramps at least 3 times and we had life changing moments up front with each member of the band - will dig out the video and post it later.

    With Pitch 2 there's no guarantee of getting anywhere near as good a position as RZ but perhaps if we arrive early enough we could get to the front or near the front of the ramp and have a RZ like experience,  perhaps better as we'd be 'front and center'. How early do you think you'd have to arrive for this?

    Overall RZ Twickers or Pitch 2 Dublin - what would you choose and why?

    Blend this into the main U2 thread. No need for separate thread.

    I went to London and Dublin the last time around for the U2 i+e tour. London was better IMO.

    It was for me Wheety - seeing your heroes up close - having learnt their songs note for note, playing music all my life, watching how they interact with the crowd without seeing it on a jumbo screen. The smallest details like watching how edge is able to play complex guitar sequences and still move around the stage - incredible and yep, life changing.

    Why was London better? 

    Do you think there's a good chance of getting a good position on Pitch 2 for Croker or will it be the die hards who are there from 6am who will get first 1 - 3 rows in Pitch 2?
