Chef Jim Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 you led with "I'm hearing", technically that's coming from someone else. I wouldn't doubt you... You must be a goalie because that was one hell of a save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills4everNY Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I had to work at a U2 concert many years ago. I was an usher and the band insisted that ushers, not security guards, guarded the stage so absolutely nobody in the audience jumped the stage. Every usher was being as polite and gentle as they could with the people who tried to get on stage. Near the end of the concert, some girl got halfway on stage and two ushers were trying to hold her back. Bono stopped the show, ran over and started punching the ushers. They let go and Bono brought the girl onstage. Then he said: There's a bunch of security guards roughing up our fans who want to get close to us. Security guards get the **** away from my stage.

Given that U2 has a long history of bringing fans onstage at shows, I have to think there are infinite other potential sides to that story.

Chef Jim Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I agree. I'll never trust a man who preaches world equality while pedaling $100 + concert tickets. I have no problem with people wanting a better world and making millions at the same time. I don't follow him enough to know is his message dramatically clashes with lifestyle.

I don't follow him enough to know is his message dramatically clashes with lifestyle. I agree with your point. I've just heard enough from Bono to believe that the guy just likes to hear himself speak. He is full of contradicting points, and bs imo. The guy has been begging governments and individuals to donate money for years. Will we ever see the U2 100% profits go to charity tour? I doubt it. A guy with a net worth of 700 million could certainly afford it, or take the easier path and just close his mouth. I digress. I somewhat like U2, but I don't think quite enough to attend the concert.

bbb Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 He's no Roger Waters in the hypocrite department. Radio City Music Hall. Wow. I'd love to see them there. Punches thrown or not! Bono apparently was quite a fighter on the streets in his teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks for posting that. My email ends at the last line of what I copy and pasted - and then under that are just the twitter, Facebook, etc. symbols. Do you have club seats? I heard from somebody that they had a presale this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I called the Bills. We'll be getting a password tomorrow morning before the presale. Jack must be a club seat owner. He said there was a separate presale for them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I got a text from the Bills saying to go to the My Offers section of the MyOneBuffalo app and then register for the presale. When I did that, I got this email: Congratulations, by redeeming this offer you will receive Early Ticket Access for U2 at New Era Field on September 5th, 2017.
