We knew they were coming. We just didn't know when. We knew tickets would go on sale. We just didn't know if we'd get General Admission tickets like last time.
Well, I am happy to say that I have successfully purchased a General Admission ticket for the October 29th U2 concert at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Yeehaw!
What does General Admission mean, you ask? Well, let me explain. General admission tickets are those that let you in the floor area just in front of the stage. During the last tour, we faithful fans showed up at the arena the evening before, prepared with sleeping bags and blankets, and when the time came for the arena doors to open, we were the first to sprint down those concrete stairs and onto the floor, taking our place at the very front of the stage.
How did she acquire this ticket ... this magical key to the most wonderful place on Earth, you ask? Well, I used to belong to the original U2 fanclub called Propaganda, which went belly up before finishing out our subscriptions. Well for those of us former Prop members who were also paid members of U2.com, we got first pickin's of the tickets for the 3rd leg of the tour, when they finally make their way to the Lone Star State. (My ticket experience was *much* better than that of the many fans who tried to get tickets for the first leg of the tour. You've probably read about the whole fiasco in your local paper since it made the news worldwide. Because of all the problems, the band decided to revamp the whole pre-sale process, and obviously, this new procedure worked.
So, the countdown begins!
234 days and counting...
