I love U2. My longest running relationship is with the men in U2. I have pictures of myself outside Bono's house ( current and where he grew up ).
I made a velvet dress for the 'popmart' tour. I stood outside until 6 in the morning just to get a chance to see them. All totally worth it.
Tickets for their new tour have gone on sale.
I don't have have lots of money just stashed under my mattress ( I don't know about the rest of you?) so I opted not to register myself to get the presale tickets. $40 is a lot to part with when you haven't been working and your car needs gas.
I stood in line for over 3 hrs Saturday morning with my daughter who really wanted to come with me to the concert.
They did a lottery system. Everyone got a # and then they picked one out of a hat and thats where the line started. My # was 395 ...... They picked 397. I was now second to last in line.
As if that wasn't bad enough my cell phone company started to have system problems.
Tickets sold out in 480 seconds. And I'm glad for the people who got them.
I just can't help but feel that I deserved ( and needed) them a little more than some of the people that did get them.
I don't mean that in a nasty way. But when my 5yr old knows U2 music after the first note , you know it's played a lot. She was with me at Bono's gates (18 months old).
I have a love for these guys like some people love their families ( this is what i'm told)
and it saddens me to think that the 'real' fans don't really get a fair shot.
If I had extra cash to join the fan club I would have. If I had a bunch of friends to scatter through the line I would have. If my computer worked well and I didn't have cheap crappy service I would have done it that way.
So what are we supposed to do? Come on Bono i'm for the drop the dept stuff , but can you not just throw us a bone here? Do yah really need that much more $?
