Okay, so could you be in the inner circle but along one of the cat walks? If you're towards the back of the inner circle, can you see the stage better (without straining your neck)?

How often does the band go out on the catwalks? I see Bono on youtube clips out there all the time... I know Larry does a walk around during Crazy Tonight...

This is confusing. This is why I need a few friends in line to tell me the best spot to stand!

I was thinking I might wear my Mars shirt (the planet Mars is on it) so that anyone from the forums can identify me... Is that too dorky or what?

first of all, i think "marsgirl" would totally fit in with the spaceship theme  ;)  secondly - lots of people in the GA line mentioned that their favorite spot was inside the circle, but in the back against the catwalk.  they told me you can see all the cool effects from the claw that way, still get the inner-circle-community feeling, and see the guys on the catwalk (they do quite a bit of moving).  i decided to go with the front, anyway, just because (like you) i wanted to be close to bono   ;D  something to think about (and you'll have lots of time on your hands while you're in line  :D)

Cool. Maybe I'll aim for the inner circle. If I cant get there, there's always along the cat walks. I'm gonna try to get there early... like by 9am? Or should I aim earlier? I'm bummed cuz my cousin used to live in Pittsburgh and I could have easily stayed over night. Maybe I'll get a hotel halfway to there from where I live.

Anyway, I think the Mars t-shirt is definitely a go... especially if it fits in thematically. I may even wear my cool 80's boots (they are totally comfortable).

So... Are we really not allowed to bring cameras cuz how do those people get such beautiful shots of the show? I planned on using my camera phone, but it doesnt take awesome pictures... If I'm lucky, you'll be able to tell who it is.

This may be quite in advance, but I'm 99% sure I'm going to don my black Mars shirt. It says Mars in the upper left corner in red with the Greek symbol for Mars.... and it has a picture of Mars on the back. That should point me out to anyone on the forum, I think. ;) Other accessory decisions to follow closer to the date. ;)

My wife and I will be there.  This will be our third 360 show.  We were there for opening night in Chicago last year and will also be going to the Toronto show next summer.  Pretty excited.

I'll probably wear my War album cover shirt. Or a U2 360 Philly shirt if I get one.
