Music: Re: [u2tour] Questions for any Eastern Canadian U2 fans

Just a head's up... Those going probably already know, hotels/motels in Moncton & surrounding area have been sold out for that weekend since before tickets went on sale. I think there may be a few on eBay but they're reeeeeeeally expensive.

We will have our 7 year old daughter with us, are there any recommendations anyone can make on what to do, where to eat? Also, does anyone think the band will stay in Moncton and if so, where might they stay? I have given up on trying to meet them at the venues and am going to try their hotel now.
