I'm going with the general admission tickets, because I've heard that's the way to go;
Me too, Alicia. I remember feeling like I had a pretty good view when I saw them in '01, and I was on the floor then, so I plan to go by that. Plus, even the "cheap seats" seem pretty spendy to me.
The whole pre-sale thing through U2.com is an insane mess, and online U2 fans are freaking the hell out.
So I've gathered from the LJ U2 community. I can see why people are upset, though. Isn't the deal that you pay $40, and you only get a $20 discount on two seats, and can only buy for one concert? For that, I'll take my chances with everyone else and keep my forty clams.
I missed PopMart because I was in college and poor. For Elevation, I forgot when tickets were going on sale and ended up paying an insane amount on eBay, rather than miss them again. I hope I can actually pay face value this time.
I saw Zoo, because I was actually living in a Major Market then, and I was underwhelmed.
My friend saw Elevation in Boston and loved it. Of course, Bono did suck on her fingers.

Did she have to pay extra?

What was underwhelming about it? I've always wished I was in a position to go to concerts then, but I was too young and too uncool.

This causes dueling reactions, here: "Ewwww, gross" and "Did she EVER WASH HER HAND again?"
Lyra had to post twice. Once for each reaction.
I saw U2 for the Joshua Tree tour, which was fab. Bono had his arm in a sling after breaking it falling off the stage at the previous concert. Sadly, it doesn't look like they have any Canadian dates other than the Groove this time around. Feh and also wtf.

She's even on the DVD! The funny thing is that she got heat exhaustion standing in line all day, so she spent the day puking into a cup. Though she said she was careful to give him the other hand when he reached for her.
I saw them on Zoo TV and our seats sucked (there was a tee shirt stand in front of us on the field, and we couldn't see over it. There was much anger in our row of reserved seating.).
I sold a crate of CDs to a used CD shop to help pay for the $150 (coughscalpedcough) ticket for PopMart. 15th row. It was worth every penny.
I'm still kicking myself for missing the last tour. I'm bitter at myself.

I love rock stories about musicians narrowly escaping vomit....
