Get On Your (concert) Boots

Version 1.0,

As a long-time paying member of U2.com, I got access to the “Horizon” level of pre-sale tickets to U2’s concert tour this fall.  And now, I’m the proud owner of a pair of tickets to see U2 at Gillette Stadium on September 20th.  Section 107, thank you very much.

They’re just a bit farther from the stage than I originally planned, but I didn’t have the $250 it would have cost for each seat in section 111 like I wanted.  Oh well.  The way I see it, these seats are just fine.  Just being able to see them again is enough for me.  This tour promises to be huge, and with the innovative stage setup and supposed 360-degree viewing angles, there’s likely not a bad seat in the house.

Get excited!!

My lament

Version 1.0, , , ,

*SIGH*

U2 is in Boston tonight (Somerville, technically), giving a special not-so-secret-anymore Q&A/performance for a lucky 900 or so people.  Unfortunately, tickets to this event were not put up for sale and were only given away by local radio stations.  So close, yet so far.  It’s a bit frustrating, seeing as I’ve worked with their music so much these past two years.  In fact, I feel very confident in saying that I don’t think there’s anyone in New England, perhaps even the country, who deserves to get up close and personal with the band more than I.  Conceited and a bit self-centered?  Sure.  But I wrote a freakin’ dissertation on their music, so I’d like that counts for something.

Oh well…I’m trying to think positively.  The way I see it, I’m happy to think that, although I’m missing an opportunity to see them tonight, I’m eligible for pre-sale tickets to their concert tour this fall.  So, while the rest of the Boston area is waiting for tickets to go on sale on Monday, 30 March, I’ll already have my seats already reserved for their September 20th show at Gillette Stadium.  I just knew that being a U2.com subscriber would really pay off eventually!
