Not sure if loyal works to describe U2 fans. However fans are arriving in Vancouver all day today as well as the past few days. GA ticket holders have been lining up outside across the street of course that's all unofficial. The goal is simple get in and as close to their favorite band member. The process of planning on how to get in is as daunting a task as planning to go to the bathroom while waiting in line.

The GA Process

Its all very unofficial and yet it seems to operational to work very well. The registration system starts with you placing your name on the list. Once on the list a great big red sharpie is used to write a number on you. This is your Keeping order and allowing fans to arrive early and hang out below the noise of the Sky train. Its the experience that fans travel around the world for. Its not just a concert for some its fellowship Its about connecting to someone else and they connecting you.

Vancouver has been home for the band for a couple of weeks. Rehearsals at Pacific Coliseum to Rogers Arena (the move happened over the weekend); The GA line has been forming and at this point is up and running very orderly. (This is normal)

Vancouver is a buzz of U2 fans all over town. The last time U2 played Vancouver was October 2009, which was the wrap up the highest-grossing tour of all time. Tonight they will play an arena show to about 19,000 fans from around the world. A smaller venue does not mean a smaller show. It is a different show with a more personal feel.

The band continued to rehearse last night as scheduled. We have already sent out the official communication in regards to the show schedule which will not change.

During the dinner break catering sent out some pizza for those in the GA line already.

Also Adam spent a few minutes with those in line prior to his departure back to the hotel. Bono waived to the crowd and was not getting out of the SUV possible strained voice from rehearsals.

Just an FYI some fans have been using Periscope to provide some insights so far so good. We expect to see more fans to start using it on Thursday. Download our mobile app to send concert images back to everyone.
