how far should I go?

OK, so I am back in the west coast of USA April 27-29. And so is U2. So, is it worth me arriving early, and flying up to Seattle (April 24-25), to say "Hi"?

Or do I wait, and hope they come to Melbourne, Austalia (still a 3.5 hour flight from Christchurch, New Zealand).

Update: I booked. I am not chasing U2. I fly into LA on Sunday 24th April and leave Friday 29th April.

Absolutely! I'd come down for a visit. It's only a 2 1/2 hour drive.

See them in Seattle. My flight to Detroit to see the Dave Matthews Band and then the overnight Greyhound bus trip back changed my life.

Can't believe you had to ask!!!!!!

I think ticket reality might be your decider. I don't think there is (or has been for a very long time) any tickets available for the Seattle show. vancouver was sold out in 8 minutes, second show sold out in 4 more minutes. When Seattle was added (same day), I think it sold out lickety split. Check on ticketmaster.com.

Glad your travels were safe Steve!
And thanks so much for your work. I got it and am reading it like info. maniac. Given me the inspiration to push through this leg of my journey.

I would agree with Aaron. I live in the Seattle area and the tickets sold out in 1/2 of an hour. U2 added a second show and the same thing happened.

There are stacks of tickets on the internet - I suspect that the tickets "sold out" to promoters.
