The system seemed to be that all priority tickets went through the same turnstiles, and the first 4000 or so got in the front section. We must have been one of the first through there not to get in the front, so we ended up at the front in the middle of the back section, which still gave us a cracking view and really good sound, and the crowd was going mad all across the pitch. Perhaps better than being further forward, as we could appreciate better that fantastic screen behind them. At first we thought it looked like just a big reflector with a few lights, but by the end it was fully lit up, with the video screens playing on to it. Bono dragged a girl out of the crowd to film him & the Edge with a camcorder that was beamed on to it, poor girl embarrassed herself in front of 70,000 people by holding the camcorder the wrong way up!
Quality setlist, I think we enjoyed Sunday Bloody Sunday with a little more passion than the rest of the crowd, who must have thought we were a bit odd. Elevation was also really good, with the crowd doing all the oh-oh-oh bits. One was the most phone-videoed song I've seen, probably helped by it being just after Bono was asking everyone to text africa, but the stands were a sea of white lights!
Really good day, fantastic weather too, cheers Chowie for helping us get the tickets.
