Music: [u2tour] Re: Advice on buying day-of tickets

The NJ show is a very unique in the positioning.

There are no other northeast shows to cover all of the NY and Boston areas.
There is only one show.

The outcome is that the NJ show is a very hard to come by ticket... probably the hardest of the entire tour to be honest. They hit Philly, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, but that misses out on the huge amount of fans they normally hit every leg of the tour. Even on the 2nd leg they had Boston twice and NJ twice. This leg- one for both. I don't think Moncton really covers it, as Philly doesn't either.

Good luck to those looking. A quick look at Stubhub, and there are 638 GA, where as Philly has 735. The true difference is the price... Philly's GAs start at $76, where as NJ start at $160.

There doesn't seem to be as much selling of NJ tickets as there have been for other shows (is it more high-profile or something, or is it just too early to judge at this point?).

Would you recommend it? At Baltimore the guy next to me happened to be selling two GAs at face value, and a few other people as well, so I got the impression that if one gets to a show early enough, they'll have a good shot. Am I right? That line was well-organized, and people who had tickets to sell let the front organizer know - is that how it is at most shows?
